No further followup on this. The problem is that all SyncReadMem()s are converted to memories automatically and for the registerfile something else than a normal SRAM is needed since the registerfile has so many ports. Using Mem() instead of SyncReadMem() avoids the registerfile being swept up by Chipyard in macros that should be converted to use SRAMs. This is a little bit of a fudge, but using SyncReadMem() for registerfile needs to come with some way to avoid it being built of normal SRAMs. |
