2018-10-12Strong enums (#892)Hasan Genc
* Added new strongly-typed enum construct called "StrongEnum". "StrongEnum" will automatically generate annotations that HDL backends can use to mark components as enums Removed "override val width" constructor parameter from "Element" so that classes with variable widths, like the new strong enums, can inherit from it Changed the parameter types of certain functions, such as "switch", "is", and "LitArg.bindLitArg" from "Bits" to "Element", so that they can take the new strong enums as arguments * Added tests for the new strong enums * Changed StrongEnum exception names and made sure in StrongEnum tests that the correct types of exceptions are thrown * Fixed bug where an enum's global annotation would not be set if it was used in multiple circuits Made styling changes to StrongEnum.scala * Reverted accidental changes to the AnnotatingDiamond test * Changed the API for casting non-literal UInts to enums Added an isValid function that checks whether or not enums have valid values Calling getWidth on an enum's companion object now returns a BigInt instead of an Int * Casting a literal to an enum using the StrongEnum.castFromNonLit(n) function is now simply a wrapper for StrongEnum.apply(n) * Fixed compilation bug * * Added "next" method to EnumType * Renamed "castFromNonLit" to "fromBits" * The FSM example in the test/scala/cookbook now uses StrongEnums * * Changed strong enum API, so that users no longer have to declare both a class and a companion object for each strong enum * Strong enums do not have to be static any longer * * Added scope protections to ChiselEnum.Value so that users cannot call it outside of a ChiselEnum definition * Renamed ChiselEnum.Value type to ChiselEnum.Type so that we can give it a companion object just like UInt and Bool do * * Moved strong enums into experimental package * Non-literal UInts can now be cast to enums with apply() rather than fromBits() * Reduced code-duplication by moving some functions from EnumType and Bits to Element

Fixes #852
2018-02-28Refactor Annotations (#767)Jack Koenig
* Generalize ChiselAnnotation This allows us to delay creation of Annotations till elaboration is complete. Also update all annotation-related code. * Add RunFirrtlTransform Use a Chisel-specific RunFirrtlTransform API to preserve behavior of old ChiselAnnotation (now called ChiselLegacyAnnotation) * Use unique test directories in ChiselRunners.compile
2017-08-17Use firrtl elses in elsewhen/otherwise case emission (#510)Albert Magyar
Preprocess chisel3 IR before emission to determing whether whens have alternatives.

2017-06-26Directions internals mega-refactor (#617)Richard Lin
Part 1 of mega-change in #578 Major notes: - Input(...) and Output(...) now (effectively) recursively override their elements' directions - Nodes given userDirection (Input, Output, Flip - what the user assigned to _that_ node) and actualDirection (Input, Output, None, but also Bidirectional and BidirectionalFlip for mostly Aggregates), because of the above (since a higher-level Input(...) can override the locally specified user direction). - DataMirror (node reflection APIs) added to chisel3.experimental. This provides ways to query the user given direction of a node as well as the actual direction. - checkSynthesizable replaced with requireIsHardware and requireIsChiselType and made available in chisel3.experimental. Internal changes notes: - toType moved into Emitter, this makes the implementation cleaner especially considering that Vec types can't be flipped in FIRRTL. This also more clearly separates Chisel frontend from FIRRTL emission. - Direction separated from Bindings, both are now fields in Data, and all nodes are given hierarchical directions (Aggregates may be Bidirectional). The actualDirection at the Element (leaf) level should be the same as binding directions previously. - Bindings are hierarchical, children (of a, for example, Bundle) have a ChildBinding that points to their parent. This is different than the previous scheme where Bindings only applied at the Element (leaf) level. - Lots of small misc clean up. Future PRs will address other parts of #578, including stricter direction checks that aren't a side-effect of this internal refactor, stricter checks and splitting of binding operations (Wire vs. WireInit), and node operations not introduced here (getType and deprecation of chiselCloneType). Since those shouldn't mess with internals, those should be much smaller.

2017-02-08Add Analog typeJack Koenig
Used for stitching Verilog inout through Chisel Modules (from BlackBox to BlackBox)
2016-12-07Support for creating chisel annotations that are consumed by firrtl (#393)Chick Markley
* Support for creating chisel annotations that are consumed by firrtl Update annotation serialization in Driver Add DiamondAnnotation Spec that illustrates how to do simple annotations frontEnd must have dependency on firrtl Add annotation method to Module Circuit has extra optional parameter that is Seq of Annotations In Builder add annotation buffer to DynamicContext to store annotations created in modules Added explicit types on naming api methods to avoid type confusion Because some names are not available until elaboration create intermediate ChiselAnnotation that gets turned into a firrtl Annotation after elaboration In execute pass firrtl text and annotation to firrtl are now passed in through optionManager, though intermediate file .fir and .anno files are still created for inspection and/or later use * Somehow missed ChiselAnnotation * fixes for Jack's review of PR
2016-12-01Fix spelling of "specified". (#392)Jim Lawson

2016-11-18Add support for parameterized BlackBoxesjackkoenig
Also restrict black boxes to not allow hardware inside of them since it was being silently dropped anyway. Resolves #289
2016-10-25FixedPoint number support for chisel3 (#328)Chick Markley
* FixedPoint number support for chisel3 FixedPoint numbers have a width and a binary position Either, neither or both maybe inferred. Firrtl will convert these to SInts during lowering passes * Fixes based on Jack's comments on PR #328 * Add experimental warning to FixedPoint class and object * Fixed comment per Adam's comment on PR #328
2016-09-21Expose FIRRTL asClock constructAndrew Waterman
Additionally, fix Clock.asUInt (previously, it threw an esoteric exception), and add a simple test of both.
2016-09-21Make implicit clock name consistent (#288)Andrew Waterman
In the Chisel frontend, the implicit clock is named clock, but in the generated FIRRTL, it is named clk. There is no reason for this discrepancy, and yet fixing it is painful, as it will break test harnesses. Better to take the pain now than later. Resolves #258.
2016-09-07Add Printable (#270)Jack Koenig
Printable is a new type that changes how printing of Chisel types is represented It uses an ordered collection rather than a format string and specifiers Features: - Custom String Interpolator for Scala-like printf - String-like manipulation of "hardware strings" for custom pretty-printing - Default pretty-printing for Chisel data types
