  • Added logging to fault jtag simulations
  • New flags
    • --blackbox names of modules (not instances) inside the design to be blackboxed (i.e. connections treated as outputs or inputs to the circuit): Added to chain, cut
    • --blackboxModels: Verilog files containing behavioral models for black-boxed instances for simulation: Added to chain, jtag and must be readable by Pyverilog (sorry)
    • --output-fault-points: Outputs all detected fault points: Added to main
    • --output-covered: Outputs coverage metadata: Added to main
  • Created new element, Module, which captures and stores metadata about modules
  • Rewrote simulation scripts to use an array of models instead of separate cells and includes
  • Rewrote major parts of fault chain to support multiple macros (and general code quality)
  • Test Vector Generation Cleanup
    • Generalized class RNG into TVGenerator (the previous kind was renamed ExternalTVGenerator, should eventually be the same class when I have the time)
    • Each test vector is generated entirely ahead of time then cut into bits instead of generated segment by segment
    • Added new TVGenerator, PatternGenerator, that is not random and uses the following pattern(s) depending on the iteration count:
      • All 0
      • All 1
      • Half 0, Half 1
      • Half 1, Half 0
      • Alternating 0s and 1s
      • Alternating 1s and 0s
      • Moving max(1, min(32, bits/4)) window of 1s (even) and the complement of that (odd)
    • TVGenerators now take a seed, fixed default seed but can be changed over CLI
      • Incorporated ARC4RandomNumberGeneratorfrom Swift TensorFlow sources, which is seeded
  • Fixed a bug where fault asm did not load some input names correctly
  • Removed smoke test functionality
  • Removed appimage

Testing

  • Added new design, TripleDelay, to test the use of macros

Add two flags to `main` to output metadata related to coverage, one for all fault points and one for fault points that are covered by the output test vectors.

* Generation reworked: Each test vector is generated entirely ahead of time then cut into bits instead of generated segment by segment
* Added new TVGenerator, `PatternGenerator`, that is not random and uses the following pattern(s) depending on the iteration count:
   * All 0
   * All 1
   * Half 0, Half 1
   * Half 1, Half 0
   * Alternating 0s and 1s
   * Alternating 1s and 0s
   * Moving `max(1, min(32, bits/4))` window of 1s (even) and the complement of that (odd)
* TVGenerators now take a seed, fixed default seed but can be changed over CLI
* Fixed test
* Incorporated `ARC4RandomNumberGenerator`from Swift TensorFlow sources (takes a seed)
