The attribute sees essentially no use and the information is much
better served by putting it in the module name. In addition this
means that the entire tree can be renamed simply by renaming the top
module.
Tools like GTKWave show the names of the instances, not the modules,
so they are not affected by the longer names.
`.git_archival.txt` and the functionality of deriving SCM version
from a GitHub generated archive is removed pending implementation of
pdm-project/pdm-backend#194.
It was thought previously (by me) that adding a wire that does
nothing to an empty subfragment is enough to prevent it from being
treated as a blackbox. This is enough for Yosys but not Vivado.
Another workaround could probably be used that satisfies both, but
instead let's just not translate any empty subfragments.
This doesn't account for the case of the empty toplevel, but that
does not seem worth addressing.
Fixes#899.
Tracking #879.
The directions of signals in `Pin` make it convenient to use a pin
signature in a component, such as in:
class LEDDriver(Component):
pins: Out(Signature({"o": Out(1)}))
led_driver = LEDDriver()
connect(led_driver.pins, platform.request("led"))
The `platform.request` call, correspondingly, returns a flipped `Pin`
object.
The design decision of using split memory ports in the internal
representation (copied from Yosys) was misguided and caused no end
of misery. Remove any uses of `$memrd`/`$memwr` and lower memories
directly to a combined memory cell, currently the RTLIL one.
This makes the build impure and also causes the contents of a file
outside of the build directory to be overwritten.
The check in `BuildPlan.execute_local` is also expanded to cover
the possibility of an absolute path sneaking through.
Because `importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError` inherits from
`ImportError`, the code did not previously work in the way that was
stated in the comment. We should probably deprecate `__version__`
entirely at some point.
If it adds to the environment then it ultimately creates the same
kind of problem it was intended to solve--a need to reproduce
the calls to `subprocess` in the code outside. It's not that hard
to merge two dicts, plus much of the time enough you can get by with
having just `PATH` and `AMARANTH_ENV_*` (if even that).
If an override is wanted it can be done easily enough with:
.execute_local(env={**os.environ, "VAR": "VALUE"})
Build scripts are explicitly intended to have overrides that are
done through the use of environment variables, and right now this
would require a very awkward `run_script=False` invocation followed
by copying a bit of code out of the Amaranth codebase, which is
clearly suboptimal.
