README

Definitions:
	caravel_openframe: Version with two wrappers for user
			   project area and management core

	caravel_pico:  PicoRV32, as a drop-in module for caravel_openframe.

Harness definition:
	Management SoC and User Project are both wrappers for drop-in
	modules.

	The harness itself contains the clocking module, DLL, user ID,
	housekeeping SPI, POR, and GPIO control.

	GPIO handling moved out of management SoC and into SPI.  SPI
	gets a wishbone interface;  the management SoC talks to the SPI
	through wishbone, not by taking over the 4-pin SPI interface.

	(Maybe) New block like the ID has the mode at power-up for
	each GPIO.  Can be configured with a text file.  SPI pins are
	fixed for operation on startup.

	(To be done) On power-up, the SPI automatically configures the
	GPIO.  Manual load is possible from both the SPI and from the
	wishbone bus.

	All functions within the harness but outside the management SoC
	are incorporated into one large module called "housekeeping".
	This includes a number of registers for all the included
	functions, with a "front door" SPI interface connected to the
	padframe through GPIO pins 1 to 4, and a "back door" wishbone
	interface connected to the management SoC.  The management Soc
	needs to reserve the memory block at 0x26000000 for the
	housekeeping module.  The housekeeping module exchanges data
	with the management SoC via an interface that uses the byte-
	wide SPI register data.  A small state machine reads four
	contiguous wishbone addresses and an address decoder determines
	the corresponding SPI register.  The state machine stalls the
	SoC until all four bytes have been handled before returning the
	acknowledge signal.

Openframe definition:
	There is only one area which is the User Project, with a wrapper
	to take a drop-in module.

	The openframe module contains clocking, DLL, user ID, housekeeping
	SPI, POR, and GPIO control.  Operation is essentially the same as
	the above (harness definition).

	There is currently no specific module for the open frame by itself.
	This needs to be defined, with the management SoC wrapper removed
	and the wrapper pins reworked.

MPW-one compatibility:
	The same as the harness definition but with a wrapper pin arrangement
	corresponding to MPW-one.

MPW-two compatibility:
	The same as the harness definition but with a wrapper pin arrangement
	corresponding to MPW-two.

Caravel-pico definition:
	Caravel-pico is a version of the PicoRV32 Management SoC from
	MPW-two, but without the GPIO control, clocking control, DLL,
	and housekeeping SPI.  It mainly just exports the Wishbone bus
	interface to the user project area and housekeeping, with
	housekeeping defined in memory block 0x26000000 and the user
	project area defined in memory block 0x30000000 (as before).
