Do this to make sure all buffers, tristate/differential or not, are
instantiated the exact same way, and are subject to the same set of
toolchain bugs, if any.
Before this commit, in some cases there will be an inverter, which is
not allowed on an FDCE with IOB attribute set to true, as it will
interfere with packing.
This simplifies creation of related signals with nice names during
metaprogramming, e.g.
def make_ff(m, sig):
sig_ff = Signal.like(sig, name_suffix="_ff")
m.d.sync += sig_ff.eq(sig)
return sig_ff
This commit adds a best-effort error for a common mistake of adding
a clock driving the same domain twice, such as a result of
a copy-paste error.
Fixes#27.
The coercion is carefully chosen to accept (other than normal ints)
instances of e.g. np.int64, but reject instances of e.g. float.
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/48940855/254415 for details.
Fixes#93.
This adds the Clock() build DSL element, and adds a resource manager
function add_clock_constraint() that takes a Pin or a Signal.
Note that not all platforms, in particular not any nextpnr platforms
at the moment, can add constraints on arbitrary signals.
Fixes#86.
Right now the device name in the board file is just the option
nextpnr uses, but that's overnormalized and doesn't quite match
the chip names used elsewhere. It is even worse for ECP5 in terms
of mismatch with chip names, and for ECP5 we need to support other
toolchains as well, so let's handle this uniformly everywhere.
The iCE40 programmers are also moved, since they're board-specific.
(It looks like iceprog isn't, but it only works with Lattice
evaluation kits.)
Fixes#80.
This commit:
* moves lists of universally useful imports from `nmigen` to
`nmigen.hdl` and `nmigen.lib`, reimporting them in `nmigen`;
* replaces lots of imports from individual parts of `nmigen.hdl`
with a star import from `nmigen.hdl`;
* replaces imports in tests with what we expect downstream code
to use;
* adds some missing imports in `nmigen.formal`.
