// Configuration types
//
// The exported block RAMs in this package have one or more ports,
// where each port is independently configurable. Not all parameters
// are exposed, notably reset behavior is hardcoded to synchronous
// reset and release. This is purely because I don't yet understand
// Bluespec's reset semantics well enough to be confident in exposing
// async reset without messing it up.
//
// The exported EBRPortConfig type is internally expanded into an
// EBRPortConfig_Resolved. This expansion process resolves defaults,
// (e.g. assigning a default clock if none was provided), derives some
// additional values that implementations need (e.g. the widths of the
// data and address I/Os as regular integers), and checks the
// configuration for consistency errors (e.g. an address type larger
// than what the hardware can support).
// EBRWriteMode specifies an EBR port's output for a write operation,
// if any.

// In Normal mode, write operations do not output a value.

// enable an output register, which adds latency to operations but
// decouples the memory's internal latency from the logic connected
// to the output. This may allow designs to run at higher clock
// speeds, outweighing the added cycle overhead.

//
// Instead, ECP5_RAM.v defines a tiny Verilog wrapper, whose only
// purpose is to group those individual bit signals back into
// multi-bit ports that Bluespec can manipulate more elegantly.
//
// This wrapper exposes all the I/O ports with their maximum bit
// width, even though there is no configuration that can use all the
// bits. For example if you use all 14 address bits, you're only using
// 1 data bit (16384x1b configuration). If you're using all 18 bits of
// data, you're only using 10 address bits (1024x18b
// configuration). We do this because we want to drive unused signals
// to defined values, so we have to be able to see all of them.
//
// The exported wrapper modules defined further down translate these
// large raw ports into proper Bluespec types, and handle the
// necessary padding and truncation.

// A quick crash course on Bluespec's scheduling instructions.
//
// Bluespec's fundamental property is that rule execution is
// serializable: all designs behave as if they execute a single
// rule at a time, in some order. In the actual hardware
// typically many rules execute in parallel on every cycle, but
// that's just an optimization: the observed behavior of the
// system must always be explainable by executing rules one at a
// time, where each rule sees the effects of all previously
// executed rules.
//
// When pulling Verilog modules into a Bluespec universe, the
// compiler must be told explicitly what orders of execution are
// valid, given the hardware's behavior. The canonical example
// is a read of a register's value and a write to the same
// register. Those two actions produce different system states
// depending on which one executes first: if read-before-write,
// the read sees the register's old value. In write-before-read,
// the read sees the updated value.
//
// That's why, if you go digging into the low level Bluespec
// definition of what a register is, you'll find a scheduling
// annotation which says that if a read and a write both want to
// happen (both methods are "enabled" in a clock cycle), the
// read must execute before the write. When translated into
// hardware, this matches familiar synchronous logic: on a given
// cycle, your logic sees the previous cycle's value, and all
// writes to registers happen at the "end" of the cycle.
//
// And so we come to the scheduling rules. Our annotations tell
// the compiler how the memory's methods can be called, if
// several of them are able to execute. Each scheduling
// annotation is written as:
//
// schedule <method(s) A> ORDERING <method(s) B>
//
// This means: assuming that method(s) A and method(s) B both
// want both execute, can both be executed without issues? And
// if yes, do they need to execute in a specific order?
//
// The orderings you can specify are:
//
// - C : "conflict". The scheduler must pick a single one of A
// or B to execute.
// - CF : "conflict-free". A and B can both execute, and the
// outcome is the same regardless of which executes first.
// - SB : "schedule before". A and B can both execute, but A
// must execute first to get correct results.
// - SBR: "schedule before (restricted)". Same as SB, but A
// and B must also execute from different rules.
//
// With that, here are the scheduling annotations for
// vMkEBRCore.
// TODO: why is portA.read CF portA.put? Shouldn't that be SB to
// match register semantics?
schedule (portA.read) CF (portA.read);
schedule (portA.read) SB (portA.put);
schedule (portA.put) C (portA.put);
schedule (portB.read) CF (portB.read);
schedule (portB.read) SB (portB.put);
