            How to correctly pass implicit parameters to a module?
            Asked 2022-Mar-29 at 16:18

            I'm trying to pass implicit parameters to a submodule in an instantiated module. The implicit parameter is the config package defined in rocketchipenter link description here, I want to use the config package to pass some constants to submodules.But when I use the module instantiation, the port I define in the submodule is always not found.

            The top-level module is defined as follows:

            I assume you are instantiating your module using reflection because it is how rocket-chip does its top-level instantiation, but note that rocket-chip only does that because it accepts the name of its top-level module via the command-line. If you know the class you want to instantiate, you can just do so directly:

            Adding an MMIO peripheral to Rocket-chip as a submodule
            Asked 2022-Mar-03 at 16:36

            I followed the MMIO Peripherals page from the Chipyard documentation to learn about adding modules to rocket-chip within Chipyard framework - and all that seems to have worked pretty well. I summed up my experiences and tried to write it in a slower pace on the pages of the Chisel Learning Journey <== adding that only if the person answering question may want to take a look and see that I've got everything working correctly. In other words, I added the MMIO with in the example package of Chipyard and it compiles, generates simulator, responds properly to toy benchmark I devised, I even see the corresponding waveforms in gtkwave.

            Now, the next step I would like to take is to separate this dummy design (it literally just reads from a memory mapped register that holds a hardcoded value) from the chipyard/rocket-chip infrastructure in the sense that it is housed in a separate repo, that will become a submodule of my chipyard. So, to do that, I've started from this page and took all the steps as given there:

            1. a new repo was created, called it my-chip
            2. into the my-chip I added build.sbt of the following content:

            How to import packages into another package(or files in the same package) using "import" explicitly only once
            Asked 2022-Feb-09 at 23:26

            I'm using chisel based on scala with IntilliJ IDEA. The files in my project are in the same package named mypackage, and I need to import the chisel's library:

            // file1.scala package mypackage import chisel3._ import chisel3.util._ /** my code */

            // file2.scala package mypackage import chisel3._ import chisel3.util._ /** my code */

            ...

            I hope to automatically/implicitly add the two libraries above to all files in mypackage, so that I don't need to repeat "import" in every file.

            Thanks!

            I would suggest not to do that because we can import each class specifically in scala. You should make use of that advantage. I had answered a similar question long back. Importing a particular class makes it light weight. That way you are importing only the packages you are using. https://stackoverflow.com/a/59148346/12197961 If you are looking to just optimize your code and reduce the number of lines in your code you can probably do this. https://stackoverflow.com/a/5745305/12197961

            RegInit initializes value only on reset

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Jan-24 at 20:33

            In Chisel 3, RegInit is referring to a register with reset. There is experimental support for treating an asynchronous reset line as an "initial" line instead, but I want to caution that it's not something I would recommend using in typical digital design.

            As you are probably aware, initial values are not universally supported in actual hardware. They are supported by some (but not all) FPGAs, and are not supported at all in ASICs. Thus writing code that relies on initial values is inherently unportable which runs counter to the ethos of Chisel for constructing resuable hardware generators.

            That being said, they can make certain designs use resources on certain FPGAs much more efficiently, so we do have a way to do this:

            CCC is an annual gathering of Chisel community enthusiasts and technical exchange workshop. This year with the support of the Chisel development community and RISC-V World Conference China 2021 Committee, we have brought together designers and developers with hands-on experience in Chisel from home and abroad to share cutting-edge results and experiences from both the open source community as well as industry. English translated recordings version will be updated soon. Looking forward to CCC 2022! See you then!. Chisel is a hardware design language that facilitates advanced circuit generation and design reuse for both ASIC and FPGA digital logic designs. Chisel adds hardware construction primitives to the Scala programming language, providing designers with the power of a modern programming language to write complex, parameterizable circuit generators that produce synthesizable Verilog. This generator methodology enables the creation of re-usable components and libraries, such as the FIFO queue and arbiters in the Chisel Standard Library, raising the level of abstraction in design while retaining fine-grained control. For more information on the benefits of Chisel see: "What benefits does Chisel offer over classic Hardware Description Languages?". Chisel is powered by FIRRTL (Flexible Intermediate Representation for RTL), a hardware compiler framework that performs optimizations of Chisel-generated circuits and supports custom user-defined circuit transformations.
