This allows the scratchpad to be instantiated outside of Gemmini, which will be interfaced with using TileLink instead of the SyncMem interface. This does not remove the option of having a fully private scratchpad like before.

Some key changes:

  • Added an instruction to move data out to scratchpad instead of L2
    • Reservation station changed to resolve new hazards
    • TLB skips translation if destination is scratchpad (since it's a separate memory space)
  • Added Tilelink option for external scratchpad (default off)
    • A few scratchpad IOs were changed from valid-only to ready/valid to accommodate this
  • Incorporated Vikram's recoded FP numbers change
