Usage Model

[davidcastells]

First of all, thanks for sharing this great effort!

Maybe I missed something, but it is not clear to me how this project is expected to be reused and extended.

1. adding new targets

Now, I am using it to verify my single cycle RISC-V SoC model (in punxa).

I forked this repo, created a branch (dev_punxa) and created new plugins in riscof-plugins/rv64
I see that Wally people (https://github.com/openhwgroup/cvw) don't do that.

2. adding new test suites

My goal is to test the SoC peripherals and privilege spec, so I am incorporating Wally tests as a new test suite. I created a wally-test-suite at the same level of the existing riscv-test-suite.

My question is, is this the indented way of reusing and extending the system ?

Is there a plan to incorporate more test suites and models into your repo ?

Thanks in advance

Currently, we can't run Wally tests because they're designed for cycle by cycle comparisons; they don't store signatures
However, both arch-tests and Wally tests are being updated to enable inline checking, at which point both sets of tests could be run .
However, we may not keep both sets of tests; we may just replace everything with the Wally tests in the near future: TBD
