Thanks a lot for your contribution, overall, LGTM!
I left some minor comments, mostly related to naming conventions that differ from the official SystemRDL style.
We could agree on a common structure for naming internal sub-fields. In particular, as highlighted in the SystemRDL style guide, I would recommend avoiding excessive prefixes, which can be overly verbose. Since the generated top-level register file follows a structured approach, the regfile name is already visible when accessing internal sub-fields, making such prefixes unnecessary.

We could add a note like: active high/low to improve the documentation
| desc = "Machine Software Interrupt Pending"; | ||
| field { | ||
| name = "P"; | ||
| desc = "Machine Software Interrupt Pending"; |

I took the liberty to push some commits to this PR that also address @Lore0599 suggestions🤓 The hierarchical names should now be as minimal as possible without redundant prefixes. I also renamed |
local `peakrdl-regblock` version was older

Looks solid overall. But I have no prior experience with SystemRDL, so I can't really vouch for the new generation approach.
It's a bit unfortunate that we are still stuck with generation to begin with, but SystemRDL/PeakRDL#54 / SystemRDL/PeakRDL-regblock#33 / SystemRDL/systemrdl-compiler#58 don't seem like they will make any progress this millenium, so we might aswell move now.
I won't be around much longer, so if anyone wants to take over maintainership of this repo, go right ahead.

Yes, parametrizable register block output would be amazing. But it's already an improvement to what we had before |
