FireSim CI #409

Stopping this from getting merged to figure out why copying things from the Fedora instance is not working (BOOM works with Fedora... just copying the uartlog is breaking (this happens on both BOOM and Rocket)) |
|
The copying is a FireSim bug that is being tracked here: firesim/firesim#329. Until then, this PR works and things are tested properly. |

This CI hash is on pointing to the firesim-bump branch of Chipyard, but will be updated once the release happens.

| If the workloads fail to run AND the manager instance stops, you can still run tests again: | ||
| - Re-boot the instance (note: the IP address has changed) | ||
| - Add to the CircleCI UI `$AWS_IP_ADDR_OVERRIDE` with the new IP address |

What is the use case for this? When would someone want to rerun this way after a failure

This was used to debug why the manager was failing and instead of spawning a new manager (which takes O(30min)) you could just reuse the previous manager.

Also what does this mean "Add to the CircleCI UI". Are you referring to the config file?

Ill clarify this a bit. I mean within the CircleCI Web UI enter "Project Settings" and under the "Environment Variables" tab add the environment variable.

Ill update once CI is done so that the tests can run to completion.

Is that a project-wide global setting, or can you add it per-run?

Its for the entire project.

Can you squash some of the more trivial commits here, and also prefix them all with [ci]? Otherwise looks fine. I assume the green check means it works |
Don't hardcode version in docs conf.py, let readthedocs fill it in

Release Notes
This PR adds FireSim (https://fires.im/) FPGA integration to CI to check both Buildroot and Fedora Linux boot on LargeBoom. This uses Chipyard to initialize and setup FireSim. FireSim runs are started at 0:00am on Thursdays (weekly) only on the
masterbranch. In order to start the FPGA image build one of the BOOM developers must click the "aws-approval" button in the CircleCI UI.This PR also changes the CI significantly by using CircleCI "commands" to create job "functions" which can be reused and pipeline parameters that can determine how to manage the workflow.
