Fixing tests that broke when adding interrupt based syscalls
- Removing the blake2s test since the blake2s registers are removed.
- Instead of writing to ADDR_SYSTEM_MODE_CTRL, app mode is now entered
automatically when executing outside of ROM.
- The SPI loop-back test need to clean up after the previous test. We
reset the memory bus to a known idle state. We also reset the DUT to
make the SPI master visible.
Only allow executing from ROM when in one of the following execution
contexts:
- Firmware mode
- Syscall

Since the introduction of the syscall mechanism we don't allow
execution in ROM anymore so it's impossible to call the firmware's
blake2s() function.

Instead of manually switching to app mode using the APP_MODE register,
app mode will be enabled when the CPU fetches an instruction outside of
firmware ROM.

Add syscall interrupt to be used for syscalls. The interrupt is
triggered by writing to an address in the 0xe1000000-0xe1ffffff
The PicoRV32 core is configured to use its minimal, non RISCV-standard,
interrupt implementation.
In order to be able to leave data for firmware signalling the
intention with a reset or to leave data for the next app in a chain of
apps, we introduce a part of FW_RAM that can be used to store this
data. In order to do this, we:
- Change size of ROM from 6 KB to 8 KB.
- Change size of FW_RAM, from 2 KB to 4 KB.
- Add RESETINFO memory partition inside FW_RAM.
- Add generation of map file.
- Change CFLAGS from using -O2 to using -Os.
- Update address ranges for valid access to ROM and FW_RAM.
- Move stack to be located before data+bss and the RESETINFO data
above them. This also means we introduce hardware stack overflow
protection through the Security Monitor.
- Revise firmware README to the new use of FW_RAM.
For ages we have had a comment saying:
For Verilator 5.019 -Wno-GENUNNAMED needs to be added to LINT_FLAGS for the
cell library.
With the new tkey-builder we have 5.028, so it's time to apply this flag.
Fix off-by-one UART bitrate counter value that will make the RX
sampling and TX sending drift. The impact gets higher as the baudrate
increases and the bitrate counter value gets smaller.
Reconfigure the baudrate to keep 500 kbaud.
Correct a forgotten test in testfw that wasn't updated the last time
frequency was raised in commit
75b028505f0d6dc685d37b84d73ddb9db5ee7ea2 in June 17, 2024.
Add incoming and outgoing CTS (Clear To Send) signals for the FPGA to
let the CH552 and FPGA signal each other that it is OK to send UART
data. The CTS signals indicate "OK to send" if high. If an incoming
CTS signal goes low, the receiver of that signal should immediatly
stop sending UART data.
Throwing away mode and length from incoming data. Adding mode and
length to outgoing data.
Splitting responses into frames small enough for the USB<->UART
transceiver to handle.
- Extend hardware checks for invalid memory accesses to include
checking more address space.
- In fw include file: fix two typos for memory ranges that relates to
above that fortunately have no impact on functionality.
synth.json shouldn't depend on uds.hex and udi.hex because that
triggers a complete rebuild of the bitstream if the UDI or UDS are
changed.
Instead, we want only the application_fpga.asc to depend on them, so
we can patch in the UDS and UDI with tools/patch_uds_udi.py in an
existing application_fpga_par.json.
- Compare against an expected result and count errors
- Exit with the right error code
- Lower write_word() to 1 clk cycle instead of two. It only requires one
clock cycle to write, otherwise if it is two one have to compensate for it
in the tests since we are counting cycles.
Remove redundant timer state. This fixes a bug where the timer misses a
clock cycle every time the prescaler counter reaches 1. This means if
one uses a large prescaler, like 18E6, it is barely noticeable, but if
one have a low prescaler and a high timer value it becomes significant.
This also yields the running_* registers redundant, which are removed.
Add clarity to the readme.
Update the timer to default to values of one, for prescaler and timer
count.
