Fix test10. It broke while implementing interrupt based syscalls.
Cleaning 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.
Fix test1. It broke while implementing interrupt based syscalls.
Instead of writing to ADDR_SYSTEM_MODE_CTRL, app mode is now entered
automatically when executing outside of ROM.

Instead of writing to ADDR_SYSTEM_MODE_CTRL, app mode is now entered
automatically when executing outside of ROM.
After the first time system_mode is set to one, the assets will no
longer be read- or writeable, even if system_mode is set to zero at a
later syscall. This is to make sure syscalls does not have the same
privilege as the firmware has at first boot.
We need to monitor when system_mode is set to one, otherwise we might
accedentially lock the assets before actually leaving firmware, for
example if firmware would use a function set in any of the registers
used in system_mode_ctrl.

App is embedded in firmware and is loaded into app RAM when firmware
starts.
App continuously calls SET_LED syscalls.
Simulation: `make tb_application_fpga_irqpoc_c_example`
Allow FW RAM access only in the following execution contexts:
- Firmware mode
- IRQ_SYSCALL_HI
Input port `system_mode` of the `fw_ram` module is replaced with an
enable port. Since access to FW RAM not longer depend only on
system_mode
Adds a basic example firmware that copies an app to app RAM. The app
triggers syscall interrupts and tries to execute ROM code from app mode.
A make target (`tb_application_fpga_irqpoc_with_app`) that simulates a
Tkey running the firmware is added.
Only allow executing from ROM when in one of the following execution
contexts:
- Firmware mode
- IRQ_SYSCALL_LO
- IRQ_SYSCALL_HI

Instead of manually switching to app mode using the system mode
register, app mode will be enabled when executing outside of firmware
ROM.

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
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.
This removes the possibility to configure the bit rate, data bits and
stop bits at runtime from the API. This reduces the
usage of LCs with ~4%.
It is still possible to configure the core before building.
Update digest of application_fpga.bin.sha256
