The OpenOCD scripts for EOS-S3 are roughly equivalent to SVF files
for a more traditional FPGA, which we also produce, for some common
"default" configuration, as a part of the build process.
Commit abbebf8e used __getattr__ to proxy Value methods called on
Record. However, that did not proxy operators like __add__ because
Python looks up the special operator methods directly on the class
and does not run __getattr__ if they are missing.
Instead of using __getattr__, explicitly enumerate and wrap every
Value method that should be proxied. This also ensures backwards
compatibility if more methods are added to Value later.
Fixes#533.
These only matter in simulation and after conversion to Verilog.
During synthesis they cause Yosys to produce warnings:
Warning: Wire $verilog_initial_trigger has an unprocessed 'init' attribute.
The Zynq driver in the FPGA Manager framework on Linux expects bitstreams that
are byte swapped with respect to what the Vivado command
`write_bitstream -bin_file` produces. Thus, use the `write_cfgmem` command with
appropriate options to generate the bitstream (.bin file).
Fixes#519.
* Add invert= argument to DiffPairs() constructor, like in Pins().
* Make PinsN() and DiffPairsN() pass invert= to the corresponding
construtor instead of mutating.
Every PR should be covered by tests, and codecov patch statuses are
extremely useful. However, codecov project statuses mostly create
noise because project-wide coverage in nMigen is currently primarily
informational.
I.e. on this code, which is currently not only wrongly accepted but
also results in completely unexpected RTL:
with m.If(...):
with m.Elif(...):
...
Fixes#500.
67b957d moved the tests from nmigen/test/ to tests/, and removed the
exclude= parameter from find_packages() in setup.py. However, even if
the new location is not inside the module tree, it is still found by
find_packages(), resulting in a stray "tests" module on the system.
Before this commit, `_check_feature(valid_xdrs=0)` would mean that
XDR buffers are not supported. Only `_check_feature(valid_xdrs=())`
was intended to be an indicator of that.
Yosys offers no stability guarantees for individual `proc_*` passes,
though so far it worked out fine. This commit changes the Verilog
backend to use `proc -nomux` instead, which is guaranteed to have
backwards-compatible behavior.
Fixes#479.
Before this commit, each simulation engine (which is only pysim at
the moment, but also cxxsim soon) was a subclass of SimulatorCore,
and every simulation engine module would essentially duplicate
the complete structure of a simulator, with code partially shared.
This was a really bad idea: it was inconvenient to use, with
downstream code having to branch between e.g. PySettle and CxxSettle;
it had no well-defined external interface; it had multiple virtually
identical entry points; and it had no separation between simulation
algorithms and glue code.
This commit completely rearranges simulation code.
1. sim._base defines internal simulation interfaces. The clarity of
these internal interfaces is important because simulation
engines mix and match components to provide a consistent API
regardless of the chosen engine.
2. sim.core defines the external simulation interface: the commands
and the simulator facade. The facade provides a single entry
point and, when possible, validates or lowers user input.
It also imports built-in simulation engines by their symbolic
name, avoiding eager imports of pyvcd or ctypes.
3. sim.xxxsim (currently, only sim.pysim) defines the simulator
implementation: time and state management, process scheduling,
and waveform dumping.
The new simulator structure has none of the downsides of the old one.
See #324.
The overhead of coroutine processes is fairly high. A clock driver
implemented through a coroutine process is mostly overhead. This was
partially addressed in commit 2398b792 by microoptimizing yielding.
This commit eliminates the coroutine process overhead completely by
introducing dedicated clock processes. It also simplifies the logic
to a simple toggle.
This change improves runtime by about 12% on Minerva SRAM SoC.
