CVA6 Pulp Platform issue

[dvusingh]

Hi,

I am working on the cva6 verification.
There I found that some of the rtl files present under the cva6/vendor/pulp_platform/axi & cva6/vendor/pulp_platform/common_cells are old in comparison to the github pulp-platform area shown below:
https://github.com/pulp-platform/axi
https://github.com/pulp-platform/common_cells/tree/master/src

If I will replace the older cva6/vendor/pulp_platform with updated files present in github pulp-platform and run the cva6 simulations,
So, does its affect the functionality of the cva6 core.

I want some clarification on this to procced effectively to understand the cva6 design implementation.
Any information would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Hello @dvusingh, pulp platform projects generally follow semantic versioning, meaning that minor releases (e.g. v1.2.0 -> v1.3.0) should be fully backwards-compatible. However, pulp-platform/axi is still pre-release (v0.x.y), so functional/interface changes are possible. Upgrading dependencies is usually not a big deal, but it's always a good idea to run regression tests afterward, as they should catch any functional changes.

Hi,

I ran benchmark test case, I don't see any issues with updated pulp_platform files.

Thanks
