- Updated tiny-soc.md to reflect the 2026-10-07 refreeze, establishing ICS55 as the default target PDK with HAVE_PLL=YES. - Added detailed sections on final timing gate policies, PLL integration, and execution order for Tiny SoC. - Modified soc-family-positioning.md to indicate the new default target for Tiny as ICS55/PLL while maintaining IHP130 compatibility. - Enhanced pdk/README.md and setup.py to support the integration of the locked ICS55 PLL views, including setup commands and validation. - Introduced tests for the ICS55 PLL dependency to ensure proper integration and validation of PLL views. - Updated rtl/tiny/README.md to clarify the current executable baseline and the pending integration of ICS55.
Locked Configuration Inputs
dependencies.lock.json is the source of truth for external repositories,
archives, OCI base images, Nix inputs, checksums, and CI tool bundles. Its digest
contributes to every build variant identity. flake.lock resolves the pinned Nix
inputs and is validated against this lock.
Publication inputs are also locked here: publication_media, the CeTZ, oxifmt,
wavy/jogs, bytefield, rivet, blockcell, circuiteria and tidy archives, and the
locally required Typst version in publication_tools. Package identities include
both name and version; CeTZ 0.3.4/0.5.2 and oxifmt 0.2.1/1.0.0 coexist as
separate cache entries. Library imports are checked as a complete offline closure.
They are prepared manually by publications/build_datasheet.py setup, without
adding a root Makefile target. See Publications.
Do not add direct downloads to setup scripts or workflow YAML. Update the lock with a full Git revision or verified SHA-256 checksum, validate it with:
python3 scripts/dependency_lock.py --lock dependencies/dependencies.lock.json
Then run the affected setup, doctor, test, and regression flow described in Engineering Workflow.
sources.pdk_ics55_pll locks OpenECOS PLL_V02p1 at
6ebb1a8f7f4ccbccdb7f587664fdfe63cd39e61b. Restore only its seven integration
views with python3 physical/pdk/setup.py --pdk ICS55 --component pll, or as
part of normal ICS55 PDK setup (--component all, the default). The checkout
is .cache/retrosoc/sources/ics55_ecos_pll, outside replaceable Liberty caches.
Setup reports its revision and per-file SHA-256 values and refuses dirty or
unexpected checkouts under the usual update policy. The upstream license is
undetermined (NOASSERTION); Liberty lacks timing arcs and the macro has no
LOCK output. Acquisition neither selects the macro in a profile nor qualifies
PLL behavior, timing or release. Tiny platform integration remains pending.
The locked SKY130 OpenRAM SRAM archive is generated and published by the
retroSoC/artifact workflow. physical/pdk/setup.py verifies its SHA-256,
manifest, geometry, source revisions, generated-file hashes, and TT/SS views
before materializing it below .cache/retrosoc/pdk/sky130/openram/. Generated
Verilog, Liberty, LEF, GDS, and SPICE views are never committed here.
The HP profile additionally locks VexiiRiscv, OpenSBI, Linux stable, and
Buildroot source revisions and the SBT launcher used by VexiiRiscv generation.
make setup-hp-linux installs the software sources below
.cache/retrosoc/sources/; VexiiRiscv may be supplied through
VEXIIRISCV_ROOT, but its revision is still checked before generated RTL is
accepted. Java 17 is a host runtime supplied by Docker, Nix, or the documented
Ubuntu prerequisites. No generated CPU RTL or Linux build output belongs in
Git.
rtthread_hp pins official RT-Thread v5.3.0 at
99428a1e7f7447955aa860f7c969273a12095b8f. make setup-hp-rtthread installs
that source, the checksum-locked riscv_gnu_hp RV64 compiler, and the hashed
SCons requirement in a local virtual environment. The BSP is copied into the
build variant and uses the upstream kernel/CPU port without modifying it.
The LP SDK retains its existing RV32 toolchain.
The libjpeg-turbo source archive is a host-verification input for the JPEG accelerator. It supplies an implementation-independent interoperability oracle; it is not linked into firmware or synthesized RTL. The repository-owned fixed point model remains the bit-accurate source of expected RTL results.
The pinned libFLAC source and official FLAC test corpus are host-only APU-P5
verification inputs. Install them with make setup-apu-reference; neither is
linked into firmware, RTL, or the shipped APUMC bundle. Run
make CONFIG=configs/ci/ihp130.mk apu-p5-corpus to produce the checksum-pinned
per-file profile and independent PCM manifest.
The NPU Visual Wake Words archive is mirrored as an unmodified release asset in
retroSoC/artifact, with the original Silicon Labs URL retained as a fallback.
Both locations resolve to the same required SHA-256; setup accepts neither a
different archive nor a fallback with a non-HTTPS URL.
ECC is an explicit exception to the lock policy. make ecc-setup streams the
official latest installer with --with-toolchain; upstream manages versions,
archive checksums, installation directories and download caches. No ECC CLI or
private toolchain archive is pinned here. Shared PDK and tool dependencies used
by other flows remain locked. See ECC setup.
