• doesn't work (test3/mem.init), which does work for coccotb/icarus
• tid compare at start looks like it's using wrong value (imm from following bc?) and erat code is skipped

core + node wb (litex)

• verilog/a2onode_litex

• debugged several fails near start of test (in issues) - first few are cases of ff behaving incorrectly; syntax changes in trilib got to reaching i=1 ifetches
• added CP signals to track completions (/verilator public/) and now first isync fails (flushes to @04)

Verilator Debug

• install multiple versions concurrently

git pull
git checkout master
#..or...
#git checkout stable
#git checkout vxxx

unset VERILATOR_ROOT
export VERILATOR_VERSION=`git describe | sed "s/verilator_//"`
./configure --prefix /tools/verilator/$VERILATOR_VERSION
make -j <n>
make install
cp -r include /tools/verilator/$VERILATOR_VERSION   # had to do this too

# symlink
ln -sf /tools/verilator/$VERILATOR_VERSION /tools/verilator/latest

• pick and run...

export VERILATOR_ROOT=/tools/verilator/latest

# rm -r obj_dir   # to be safe?

Try options (using stable)

• --clk clk_1x --clk clk_2x no change

• -O0 didn't finish compiling

• all clk2x arrays rewritten - no change

• remove public from iuq0.iuq_cpl_top0.iuq_cpl0.iuq_cpl_ctrl.cp3_nia_q - advances farther

  • now making it to first store (stack) after jump to bios
  • an_ac_req_st_pop is active but lsq.an_ac_req_st_pop_q does not follow _d (tri_rlmlatch_p)
  • all the publics (nothing in lsq)
