Prior to this changeset the bootloader rom (instantiated as a
SimpleMemory) in ruby Arm systems was treated as an IO device and it
was fronted by a DMA controller. This changeset moves the bootloader
rom and adds it to the system as another memory with a dedicated
directory controller.

We have not added the --generate-dtb option for non-ARM systems and
hence this case becomes dead code. It also leads to error on non-ARM

Equips the fs.py config routine with an extra commandline option
--generate-dtb that will generate a dtb file automatically before
running the simulation. Only works with ARM systems and gives a warning

x = Device width
Total channel width can be calculated by n*w

If the cache access mode is parallel, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter
is set to "False", tags and data are accessed in parallel. Therefore,
the hit_latency is the maximum latency between tag_latency and
data_latency. On the other hand, if the cache access mode is
sequential, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter is set to "True",
tags and data are accessed sequentially. Therefore, the hit_latency
is the sum of tag_latency plus data_latency.

This patch breaks out the most basic configuration options into a set
of base options, to allow them to be used also by scripts that do not

Continue along the same line as the recent patch that made the
Ruby-related config scripts Python packages and make also the
configs/common directory a package.
All affected config scripts are updated (hopefully).
Note that this change makes it apparent that the current organisation
and naming of the config directory and its subdirectories is rather
chaotic. We mix scripts that are directly invoked with scripts that
merely contain convenience functions. While it is not addressed in
this patch we should follow up with a re-organisation of the
config structure, and renaming of some of the packages.

This patch moves the addition of network options into the Ruby module
to avoid the regressions all having to add it explicitly. Doing this
exposes an issue in our current config system though, namely the fact
that addtoPath is relative to the Python script being executed. Since
both example and regression scripts use the Ruby module we would end
up with two different (relative) paths being added. Instead we take a
first step at turning the config modules into Python packages, simply
by adding a __init__.py in the configs/ruby, configs/topologies and
configs/network subdirectories.
As a result, we can now add the top-level configs directory to the
Python search path, and then use the package names in the various
modules. The example scripts are also updated, and the messy
path-deducing variations in the scripts are unified.
|
|
This patch adds a new file configs/network/Network.py to setup the network,
instead of doing that within Ruby.py.
|
|
networktest is essentially a collection of synthetic traffic patterns
for the network. The protocol name and the tester having the same name
led to multiple python configuration files with the same name, adding
confusion. This patch renames networktest to garnet_synthetic_traffic,
and also adds more synthetic traffic patterns.
|
|
This patch refactors the configuration file to use a more
object-oriented design.
