it was configured for the caravel_pico SoC, with the housekeeping
SPI able to access the upper 256-word section of the memory if the
CSB bit in the housekeeping control register is cleared. This
testbench tests both access through housekeeping and access directly
from the SoC through the memory-mapped address.

to "rv32imc" by default, and overriding it with "rv32ic" specifically
for the new caravel_pico without the multiplier and divider option,
on testbenches "mem" and "storage" which both have multiplies in the
C code.
knowledge and which went undetected since before MPW-one. Modified
the "pll" and "sysctrl" testbenches so that they run and measure
something useful. Both exercise the clock monitoring on GPIO
outputs functions. The PLL test also runs the digital locked
loop (behavioral verilog). The PLL test overlaps sysctrl, but
"pll" cannot be run on gate level verilog, whereas "sysctrl" can.
(input for monitoring) changed from being connected directly to the
user project (where it shouldn't be) to the same signal on the input
side of the management protect block (where it should be). This is
functionally the same. Checked for any other signals connected
directly from the user project to any block other than mgmt_protect,
didn't find any (good). Modified the gate-level netlists and top-level
layouts for caravel and caravan with the corresponding change. This
was the only change affecting layout. Also: Revised the "pll"
testbench. This is still ongoing work. Also: Fixed the way the
pins on I/O pads are declared in chip_io.v, mprj_io.v, and pads.v, so
that it isn't so bizarre. Most of this change is functionally
agnostic (just a change in the way the ifdefs work), but did fix an
incorrect ifdef that causes the whole user power domain to be broken.
which is now done through setting an environment variable to point to the
location of the management SoC wrapper. Added the missing user project
wrappers to the GL directory (copied from the original caravel repository),
and also the GL version of chip_io_alt. Modified the caravan_netlists and
caravel_netlists files to import the correct list of gate level netlists,
which has been reduced by moving "include" statements for components of the
management SoC into the management SoC repository (e.g., caravel_pico).
the change in the implementation of the serial loader, which split the load
signal out as a separate bit, and therefore had a separate bit-bang entry).

mgmt_protect, and mprj_ctrl and sysctrl_wb (which are now part of
housekeeping). The two housekeeping tests fail and need to be
debugged.
management SoC to the management protect block, and updated the
documentation to include the new wishbone interface for those
signals, and the additional signals on the management SoC pinout.
since the original one was folded into the sysctrl testbench, but that
testbench no longer uses the SPI master. Moved the SPI master from being
an overlay of the housekeeping SPI to occupying GPIO pins 32 to 35.
Made GPIO 35 a bidirectional pin like 36 and 37 so that the output enable
from the SPI master can be used.
storage. Not all of these pass simulation checks. Added back the
bit-bang control of the GPIO programming. Added back the read-only
interface between the housekeeping module and the SRAM 2nd port.
Revised the memory map text document to reflect the addition of the
SRAM ports. There is not yet a testbench for the SRAM read-only
interface.
the 26 domain (now dedicated to the housekeeping module), with
2e0... now 261... and 2f0... now 262... Although this is not
strictly backwards-compatible, the addresses in defs.h have been
modified so that C code remains valid with a recompile.
