A proof-of-concept of enabling PicoRV32 interrupts. Two interrupt
sources, which can be triggered by writes to memory addresses, are
added. The design has only been simulated, not run on hardware.
Synthesis:
Ice40 LC utilization is 93% (4934/5280) when built using tkey-builder:4
Simulation:
A `tb_application_fpga_irqpoc` target is added. Running `make
tb_application_fpga_irqpoc` creates `tb_application_fpga_sim.fst` which
can be inspected in GTKWave or Surfer.
Firmware:
A simple firmware is added in `fw/irqpoc`. It enables both interrupts
and triggers each interrupt once.
Custom PicoRV32 instructions are located in `custom_ops.S`. It is
imported from upstream PicoRV32 commit:
70f3c33ac8
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.
- 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.
- The API changes name from `_SWITCH_APP` to `_SYSTEM_MODE_CTRL`.
- The registers and wires changes name to `system_mode_*`, instead of a
mix of `switch_app_*` and `fw_app_mode`.
Silence lint on intentional combinatinal loops
Use better instance names, and a single lint pragma for all macros
Remove unused pointer update signals
Silence lint on wires where not all bits are used
Change fw_app_mode to be an input port to allow access control
Remove redundant, unused wire mem_busy
Add lint pragma to ignore debug register only enabled by a define
Remove clk and reset_n ports from the ROM
Adding note and lint pragma for rom address width
Fix incorrect register widths in uart_core
Assign all 16 bits in LUT config
Silence lint warnings on macro instances
Correct bit extraction for core addresses to be eight bits wide
Correct the bit width of cdi_mem_we wire
Add specific output file for logging lint issues
Correct bit width of tmp_ready to match one bit ready port
