This is actually what Layers are: https://www.chisel-lang.org/docs/explanations/layers
Yes. Layer is doing good in firrtl spec. But at chisel level, I’m thinking is there some design pattern for it? e.g. aop for a same IO, and corresponding aspect will have corresponding layer. This is possible. But does it support D/I? I’m not sure.
Type of issue: Feature Request
For a
FixedIOModule
, theioGenerator
is its header.Think about this scenario, Different teams can only access the header for different purpose, e.g. RTL designer, DV engineer seeing
Probe
andProbeRW
, Performance Model engineer writing necessaryprintf
to specific signals(Probe
it).There will be three different end users to the specified
ioGenerator
, and three layers of IO in three colors. three teams are developing three Modules but bind at last.Currently
bind
can be automatically extracted in CIRCT.But we may need a way to expose this functionality in Chisel.
