| _florent_ | xobs, somlo: following our recent discussions, i just added io_regions (uncached regions) to SoCCore/CPU to replace shadow_base (it's still possible to use shadow_base to avoid breaking designs but no longer recommended) | 08:28 |

| _florent_ | this should be easier to apprehend, instead of adding shadow base to io peripherals automatically, we now just check that the io peripherals is in an IO region defined by the user or the CPU | 08:31 |
| _florent_ | somlo: this should solve the case where you wanted shadow_base = 0 for Rocket since now you can just define your own io_regions in the Rocket wrapper | 08:32 |
| xobs | florent: Awesome! | 08:49 |
| _florent_ | xobs: for vexriscv, i added and io_region that is equivalent to what we had with a shadow_base of 0x80000000, but from what we discussed previously, i don't think that's correct and we should reduce it | 08:55 |

| _florent_ | xobs: can you check? and eventually tell me what you think the real io_regions for vexriscv should be? | 08:56 |
| *** freemint has quit IRC | 08:59 | |
| xobs | _florent_: I'm happy with those regions. In general, it looks like vexriscv configurations assume 0xf0000000-0xffffffff is an ioregion, but I see at least one place where they have a special case for litex: https://github.com/SpinalHDL/VexRiscv/blob/6fc5406901fcd34d2fa166761a588fea1b38cddf/src/main/scala/vexriscv/demo/Linux.scala#L280 | 09:00 |

| _florent_ | xobs: thanks, the special case for litex seems to be for ethernet (0xB) and spiflash (0x5) for linux-on-litex-vexriscv, we'll see in the future if it's useful to reduce to strictly these regions in the VexRiscv wrapper | 09:09 |
| xobs | Oh, so /that's/ where those regions come from! | 09:15 |
| xobs | florent: how well does the wishbone2csr bridge handle clock domain crossing? | 09:26 |
| xobs | Hmm... I think I asked that before, and in looking at it now the answer appears to be "not well". I think I may need to put a PulseSynchronizer on the .re lines. Maybe on the .we lines as well. | 09:34 |
| *** freemint has joined #litex | 09:39 | |
| _florent_ | xobs: since there is no handshake on the csr bus, that's difficult to do cdc on it. The best is whether to have a wishbone csr before the wishone2csr, or do the CDC on the CSR register signals (we, re, storage, status...) | 09:47 |
| *** freemint has quit IRC | 09:50 | |
| xobs | I think in my USB stack, signals are slow enough that it'll be fine to just get the we and re pulses to cross. But it'll require some rework. Maybe. (Famous last words.) | 09:50 |

| somlo | _florent_: thanks, works like a charm. Once https://github.com/enjoy-digital/rocket-litex-verilog/pull/2 is applied, I'll send a litex PR to redo the Rocket map at the same time as we switch to updated verilog built for that new map | 14:47 |
