Document the RCU ownership, profile/PDK mapping, exact validation commands,
matched firmware, source snapshots and current 06-00 backend evidence.
Separate historical checkpoints and the rejected 04-00 candidate from
current response-conservation and source-reset validation.
State the production DMA drain and common XPI reset preconditions without
claiming unrestricted standalone bridge source-reset support. Record the
54-case directed result, expected-negative checks and unchanged design
inputs that justify retaining the original backend evidence.
Preserve full-suite failures and focused corrections, interrupted Icarus
attempts, final-phase deferral, negative timing and missing physical
qualification. Keep P7 human acceptance and later phases separate.
Integrate the Tiny RCU, normalized REF24 control, external-input profiles,
single PLL backend, SYS/MEM/PCLK clocks, CPU-only WFI gating, peripheral
lifecycle control and retained debug behavior. Keep CPU and all 32 main
SRAM macros on SYS and the six private Crypto macros on PCLK.
Add the handwritten RCU register/HAL contract, RS_EBUSY, bounded SDK
operations and focused firmware. Preserve shared-IP defaults and the
ICS55/PLL SAFE24 boot and explicit IHP130/no-PLL compatibility profiles.
Use APB/AXI domain bridges and source-owned response holders to preserve
backpressured responses, complete aborted bursts and prevent stale replay.
Verify production DMA source-reset drain and common XPI endpoint reset
with extracted integration bindings and an independent scoreboard.
Add source-bound macro/clock audits, SAFE24 observational STA constraints
and commercial-adapter host checks. No P8 functionality or operating-point
qualification is included. See TINY-R2-P7 in docs/ip/tiny-soc.md.
Validation: 54 P7 directed tests pass, including both simulators, ten
source-reset ratio runs and two expected-negative drain mutations.
RTL format/style, clock/reset inventory, Ruff and both Tiny PDK PR dry-runs
pass. Retained 06-00 synthesis and strict netlist boots pass for both PDKs;
STA remains negative and observational. Source comparison confirms only
the follow-up tests changed after that backend campaign.
Evidence: build/ics55-tiny-2026-10-14-06-00-ff4b5cef6eb5/meta/
tiny-r2-p7-source-reset/summary.json. Earlier firmware, HAL and compatibility
results and the non-clean full-suite attempt retain their original
attribution. Full Icarus firmware is deferred to final Tiny qualification;
this commit does not constitute human phase acceptance or physical signoff.
Record parent and child process IDs for diagnostics, persist interruption
before cleanup, and ignore repeated termination signals during cleanup.
Close unexpected failures with a terminal result and retain the child's
exit status without treating namespace-local PID absence as completion.
Require a successful terminal run_flow result when checking simulation
logs with an associated result file. Cover repeated cancellation and
reject running, failed or inconsistent terminal records despite PASS text.
This supports the TINY-R2-P7 campaign. Interrupted and timed-out runs remain
non-acceptance evidence; UART output alone cannot qualify a Tiny simulation.
Advance the approved PWM dependency to
38efaf5e20f084a00148920087c60cadab61839b so Tiny RCU can publish the
committed PCLK rate through the existing PWM register interface.
Keep the static-clock default for existing consumers.
Required by TINY-R2-P7 in docs/ip/tiny-soc.md. The locked checkout and
P7 validation use this exact revision; dependency-lock validation passes.
Move the chapter 3 memory swap from deferred to simulation-validated in
docs/ip/hp-platform.md (mechanism, define gating, and the stacking table)
and docs/hp-rv64-validation.md (macro-mode boot TB and SoC macro-sim
evidence, with the remaining synthesis/netlist/STA/LEC gates called out).
Extend the override inventories in rtl/README.md and scripts/README.md to
cover the eight aq_spsram_* wrappers. The chapter 3 ICG replacement and
physical qualification stay explicitly deferred.
Factor the focused hp_core_wrapper boot testbench into a shared helper and
add test_c906_boots_smoke_payload_with_ihp130_sram_macros, which rebuilds
the same real smoke payload run with +define+PDK_IHP130/+HAVE_SRAM_MACRO/
+FUNCTIONAL and the committed RM_IHPSG13_1P_* models. The payload's cache
maintenance and GA2D data movement exercise all eight replaced SRAMs
(BHT/ICache/DCache/JTLB) for real; both modes must reach
HP_C906_BOOT_TEST_PASS.
Evidence: pytest tests/test_hp_platform.py -k boots_smoke_payload passes in
both modes (2 passed); a whole-SoC macro-mode run via
'make CONFIG=configs/ci/ihp130-hp.mk PDK_BEHAV=NO SIMU=VERILATOR
hp-smoke-sim' passes with SIM_TEST_PASS code=0 and the
HP_LINUX_READY/HP_GA2D_PASS/HP_GA2D_CACHE_CLEAN markers.
Implement the memory replacement required by chapter 3 of the OpenC906
integration manual for the Mini HP core. The eight aq_spsram_* single-port
SRAM wrappers (BHT, ICache data/tag, DCache data/dirty/tag, JTLB data/tag)
gain reviewed overrides in rtl/mini/ip_overrides/, registered in
scripts/generate_openc906.py with sha256 pins on the vendored files at the
locked revision b0c06eb1.
Each override keeps the upstream behavioral aq_f_spsram_* instance
byte-identical by default; only PDK_IHP130 + HAVE_SRAM_MACRO without
PDK_BEHAV instantiates IHP130 RM_IHPSG13_1P_* macros, stacked per manual
section 3.1.5 (depth stacks with a read-registered bank select, width
stacks, zero-padded unused write-mask bits). Macro ports map CEN/GWEN/WEN
onto A_MEN/A_WEN/A_REN/A_BM with A_DLY tied high and BIST pins tied off,
matching the tc_sram.sv convention. Committed CI profiles keep
PDK_BEHAV=YES, so their simulation results are unchanged.
The Makefile also lists the new overrides as prerequisites of the
generated-filelist stamp so editing one forces regeneration.
Evidence: directed 8-wrapper equivalence TB (behavioral vs macro, Icarus)
and the manual section 3.2 MEM_INTF suite adapted to Icarus both pass on
the macro path.
The C906 ORs the internal CLINT's hardware supervisor-timer line into
mip.STIP (aq_cp0_trap_csr.v: st_int && CLINTEE || stip_reg) and the RTL
resets mxstatus.CLINTEE to 1. Nothing ever programmed STIMECMP, and the
compare registers' 0xFFFF_FFFF reset values are not guaranteed to be
applied (the HP hold-reset produces no async negedge in Verilator, so
the regs stay zero), so st_int fires from the first cycle: the moment
the kernel enables sie.STIE in time_init, it falls into an infinite
supervisor-timer storm and the boot thread starves right after the
sched_clock print. (M-mode firmware is immune, which is why RT-Thread
and OpenSBI were unaffected.)
Probe evidence after the fix: MTIMECMP arms exactly one jiffy out
(mtime+3979 at HZ=250) and MTIP fires exactly at the compare value on a
healthy 288K-cycle cadence; the kernel boots through console init,
BogoMIPS, devtmpfs, and switches to the riscv_clocksource.
Park both compare registers explicitly at cold boot so the state is
deterministic on silicon and in simulation.
Record the shared-IP and eight-channel DMA integration, common I2S/SDIO correctness fixes, deterministic workloads, snapshot update scopes and both PDKs' functional and smoke-flow evidence.
Keep original failed attempts, publication history and source attribution intact. The later final full Pytest passed 1726 tests with one optional pypdf skip in 4021.61 seconds, exit 0, in terminal session 36439; it has no standalone verdict log or JSON. Existing campaign evidence is not rewritten by this documentation commit.
Retain explicit negative timing, warning observations, legacy package/floorplan limits and pending physical qualification. Human phase acceptance and any P7 work remain separate.
Integrate RNG, CRC, WS2812, Crypto, I2S master and the SDIO private AXI owner on SAFE24. Preserve the 128 KiB main SRAM and six private Crypto macros, add product-specific DMA assignments and reject unsupported SDK operations.
Correct APB read strobes, I2S receive assembly and SDIO command timing, backpressure and descriptor retirement. Add pin-level workloads, source-bound evidence checks and publication/commercial consumer compatibility.
Validation of the final P6 worktree: 1726 pytest tests passed with one optional pypdf skip (exit 0, 4021.61 seconds; terminal session 36439). Both PDKs passed both RTL simulators, netlist boot and 38-macro binding checks. Shared formal, Mini compatibility and software/source quality gates passed.
Evidence remains attributed to the retained dirty-worktree snapshots based on b3b30a72cd under build/ics55-tiny-2026-10-12-11-50-2eb98c0e1fae/meta/tiny-r2-p6/. Timing is negative and warning observations are not promoted. This commit does not accept P6, qualify physical operation or enable P7.
Document corrected reset behavior, source-bound evidence, validation commands and both PDK timing observations. Mark the earlier reset repair as superseded while preserving its historical attribution.
Retain explicit limits for workload replay, full-function netlist testing and physical qualification. Human phase acceptance and P6 execution remain separate.
Drain remaining write beats before returning B, retain captured R/B responses, and append missing read error beats through the response spills. Preserve first-error attribution and prevent replay after target reset release.
Cover 28 reset scenarios in both simulators, including production DMA drain and APB bridge cases. Extend reset formal checks and publication contract mutation tests.
Validation: 101 focused tests passed; full Pytest reported 1685 passed and one optional pypdf skip. TINY ICS55 and IHP130 PR regressions passed. Timing remains observational and unclosed; no performance or physical qualification is claimed.
Select the HP (OpenC906) JTAG target before the LP releases it, for HP
bring-up debug sessions. Behavior-neutral when off. The knob deliberately
stays out of the variant key: debug runs are not qualification evidence,
and enabling it should not force a full Linux-bundle rebuild.
The OpenC906 user manual states mxstatus.MAEE resets to 0, but the RTL
(aq_cp0_ext_csr.v) resets it to 1. With MAEE set, S-mode page attributes
come from the T-Head extended PTE bits [63:59], which a stock mainline
kernel never programs, so every translated page is non-cacheable; the
C906 then raises a store/AMO access fault (cause 7) for any AMO on such
a page (aq_lsu_ag.v: !mmu_ca && ag_pipe_amo). The first victim was
set_cpu_online()'s amoor.d.aqrl on __cpu_online_mask, after which the
kernel entered the do_trap_break storm before its first console print.
Bare-metal Sv39 payloads proved independently that page-table walks,
loads/stores, and the bus fill path are correct (4 KiB three-level,
2 MiB megapage, high-half canonical VAs, cold fills from SDRAM after D$
eviction); the failure was purely the AMO-on-non-cacheable rule, and no
bus error response or PMP denial was observed on probes.
early_init now clears mxstatus.MAEE so translated accesses follow the
sysmap override (RAM cacheable, MMIO strong-order device) and the stock
kernel needs no T-Head PBMT errata. Evidence: directed payload passes
the full AMO battery (amoor/amoadd/amoswap/lr-sc, cold-line and
high-half-VA variants); hp-linux-sim (bounded 2 h wall) boots past
set_cpu_online, prints 'Linux version 6.12.105+', and keeps retiring
into meminit with no further traps. Userspace acceptance continues on a
longer bounded run; the target stays unqualified until it completes.
The retrosoc_hp platform registered no irqchip_init hook, so the
C906-internal PLIC (thead,c900-plic, decoded by the core BIU rather than
the SoC fabric) was never initialized before the kernel probed it. Select
FDT_IRQCHIP_PLIC and register fdt_irqchip_init: OpenSBI v1.9's
thead,c900-plic match applies the T-Head M-to-S delegation quirk that
S-mode external-interrupt delivery requires. Verified by nm on the
rebuilt fw_jump.elf (fdt_irqchip_init/fdt_irqchip_plic linked in).

- Updated Python test suite to validate new configurations and ensure proper integration with Tiny R2 P5 architecture.
hp-rtthread-sim now passes on the OpenC906 HP core with all selftest
markers (6,373,952 cycles in 542 s), exercising the internal CLINT
timer/MSWI and the internal PLIC mailbox doorbell. The RT-Thread
bring-up root-cause chain (mcor/mhcr init, sdram_axi4 and crossbar WRAP
handling) is recorded with its regression locks.
hp-linux-sim ran with a bounded 4 h wall budget (158.7 M cycles):
OpenSBI v1.9 completes on the repo-owned retrosoc_hp platform and hands
off to the kernel correctly; the kernel enters S-mode with Sv39 but
stalls in the S-mode fault path after the __cpu_online_mask store page
fault (A/D-bit emulation fixup loop), which is the current bring-up
frontier. The target stays unqualified; the synthesis-dependent gates
remain deferred to the SRAM macro swap round. Also records the latent
gap that OpenSBI never initializes the C906-internal PLIC (no
.irqchip_init), harmless for the current minimal acceptance.
The Mini HP core is the locked OpenC906 with T-Head XTheadCmo custom-0
dcache maintenance; the former rv64imafdc_zicbom_max VexiiRiscv
configuration survives only as the frozen Std-series generator asset.
Sweep the leftover wording:
- scripts/README.md gains the missing setup_openc906.py and
generate_openc906.py entries (locked source install; sha256-pinned
overrides; single compilation unit below build/).
- configs/README.md and app/README.md describe the OpenC906 core and
XTheadCmo maintenance instead of VexiiRiscv RTL generation and Zicbom.
- The npu-p5-hp-sim help line and the npu_p5_report.py emitted HP
evidence mode now say polling-xtheadcmo, matching the payload's
actual dcache.cva/iva mechanism.
The C906 resets with caches and the BPU disabled (mhcr=0) and does not
initialize the cache/predictor RAMs (aq_cp0_ext_csr.v). The upstream
reference crt0 (openc906 smart_run/tests/lib/crt0.s) invalidates them
via mcor before enabling mhcr; skipping mcor makes the core execute
through uninitialized predictor/cache state (wild control flow with no
trap), and leaving caches off makes SDRAM execution ~100x slower, which
livelocked the RT-Thread 1 kHz tick ISR before the first selftest
marker.
Apply the upstream sequence at the earliest point of both HP boot
paths: RT-Thread start.S and the OpenSBI platform early_init. MMIO
windows stay strong-order non-cacheable via the sysmap override, so
enabling the D-cache is safe. hp-rtthread-sim now passes with all
selftest markers (6,373,952 cycles in 542 s).
The OpenC906 is the first master to issue WRAP bursts (cache line fills
start at the critical word). Two latent path bugs made every such fill
fail or corrupt data:
- sdram_axi4 reconstructed the WRAP wrap-back address from the
decrementing remaining-beat count, which cannot reproduce the wrap
boundary; mid-line starts read the second half from wrong addresses.
Beat stepping now uses the registered original geometry through the
proven shared axi4_addr_gen, on both the read and write paths.
- axi4_data_crossbar burst_legal computed a WRAP burst's last address
as if it were INCR, so fills starting in the last 64 bytes of a 4 KiB
page were faulted as FaultProtocol and answered with DECERR. The WRAP
last address is now computed from the wrap boundary.
Locked by new directed cases: mid-line WRAP read/write with
address-encoded data in tests/rtl/sdram_data_tb.sv and a page-edge WRAP
read routing case in tests/rtl/axi4_data_crossbar_tb.sv. Both fail on
the pre-fix RTL and pass after; full test_axi4/test_sdram (17/17),
hp-smoke-sim, hp-rtthread-sim and the PR ci_smoke all pass with the fix.

- Developed quiesced loader admission tests for APU-P8 to ensure proper handling of DMA operations.
- Added post-fault visibility tests for APU-P8 HP interconnect to confirm fault handling capabilities.
- Enhanced register parity tests to include ABI digest verification for consistency across implementations.
- Updated publication register tests to reflect changes in capability constants for P5 and P7 profiles.
- Removed unsupported fault handling from and replaced it with a test for average pooling execution.
- Updated the test for unsupported placements to validate average pooling and depthwise convolution placements.
- Introduced new tests for softmax functionality in , including parameter validation and edge cases.
- Added qualification tests to ensure rejection of common-mode numerical errors and incomplete runs in .
- Enhanced RTL tests to cover memory downsizing and kernel burst capabilities in and .
- Adjusted boot status assertions in to reflect updated expected values.
This commit includes new shell source files for the NPU, specifically:
- npu_mac_array.sv
- npu_accumulator.sv
- npu_vector.sv
- npu_requantizer.sv
These additions aim to improve the testing coverage and functionality of the NPU RTL shell.
