Multi-chip population spikes #226

Closed hunse closed 5 years ago

hunse commented 5 years ago

Allow population spikes between chips. This allows convolutional connections from chip to chip.

We can use probes with population axons with this change, so we should enable and test that: https://github.com/nengo/nengo-loihi/blob/92d85d3626b37e3b455cae68ea85e4376fc4dc16/nengo_loihi/hardware/builder.py#L438

I noticed that in test_conv_connection, the ensemble is off-chip, when it should be on-chip. However, there are a few other minor improvements needed for this, namely #232 and allowing neuron slices (which is done in the DVS stuff somewhere).
