Release notes

1.4

  • Clock gating bug fixes
  • Corner case bug fix for running hart PIC store colliding with debugger PIC access
  • Bug fix for debugger seeing error from DMA access
  • Fixed bug with BFP not matching updated 0.94 bitmanip spec
  • Branch predictor - fixed used bits for multihit case
  • Fixed bug with corner case incorrect clearing of reservation when faulting DCCM stores align with DCCM DMA accesses

1.3

  • Multiple debug module compliance deviations and bugs reported by Codasip

  • Updates to debug module to level compliance to version 0.13.2 of debug spec

  • Trigger chaining compliance fixes

  • Power optimization improvements and clock gating improvements

    • Significantly lower power in sleep as well as normal operation.

  • Enhanced debug memory abstract command to access internal as well as external memories

  • Added bit-manipulation support for Zba, Zbb, Zbc, Zbe, Zbf, Zbp, Zbr, Zbs 0.94 draft spec.

    • Zba, Zbb, Zbc and Zbs are enabled by default. Use -set=bitmanip_zb*=1 to enable other sub-extensions.

  • Enhancements and additional configurations options for a faster divider

  • JTAG controller intial state issue fixed

  • Branch predictor fully-associative mode for 8,16,32 entries.

  • Branch predictor SRAM btb for BTB size > 256

  • Corner case bugs fixes related to

    • Bus protocol corner cases (ahb)
    • Fetch bus error recording improved accuracy
    • Branch predictor pathological timing cases fixes
    • Fast interrupt with DCCM ECC errors priority bug
    • MPC & PMU protocol cleanup
    • Timeout due to branch-error and icache parity error collision
    • Cross-thread fwd progress denial pathological cases
    • DMA/DCCM data corruption path for address 0x0

  • Demo test-bench updates

    • Handling bigger test sizes using associative arrays in external memory slaves,
    • simplified test building process and CCM loading functions (only program.hex is generated, no data.hex)
    • Improved Makefile and example tests (see README)
    • Generating link.ld from veer.config

1.2

  • Modified MSCAUSE encoding to be consistent with current internal specification
  • Added internal timers

1.1

  • Several bug fixes in debug module
    • Added new dbg_rst_l input for system wide reset to debug module. If debug module operation during core reset is not needed, this can be connected to rst_l.
  • Demo testbench has a synthesizable bridge to allow accessing the ICCM with load/stores via the DMA port. (This only works with the AXI4 build)
