Right now it is still limited as it compiles only for one target,
but it should be possible to build BIOS with one command
Tested with digilent_arty.py
On slow configurations (ex iCEBreaker / SERV CPU / 12MHz SPI Flash freq) memspeed test was
too slow (>200s to do the random test for 1MB), so reduce test size to 4KB.
This will be less accurate but will still provide representative results which
is the aim of this test.
Integration from #1024 was working on some boards (ex Arty) but breaking others (ex iCEBreaker);
simplify things for now:
- Avoid duplication in spiflash_freq_init.
- Avoid passing useless SPIFLASH_LEGACY flag to software (software can detect it from csr.h).
- Only keep integration support for "legacy" PHY, others are not generic enough and can be passed with phy parameter.
litex_sim: SoC without RAM/SDRAM.
litex_sim --integrated-main-ram-size=0x1000: SoC with RAM of size 0x1000.
litex_sim --with-sdram: SoC with SDRAM.
litex_sim --integrated-main-ram-size=0x1000 --with-sdram: SoC with RAM (priority to RAM over SDRAM).
Inside the litex add_spi_flash function
we are detecting the devices that can't be used with
more efficient DDR version of litespi phy core
and we are choosing whether to instantiate the legacy or DDR core

This is because we pass -mcmodel=small. As the PowerPC ELF ABI
describes, the small code model restricts the relocations to 16-bit
offsets[1]. If we omit the option we get the default, which is the
medium model allowing 32-bit offsets.

New version of binutils contain stricter checks for sections that are
not included in the linker script, resulting in this error:
ld: error: no memory region specified for loadable section `.note.gnu.build-id'
Disable this feature as there is no use for it on bare metal systems.

binutils 2.34 contains stricter checks for sections that are not
included in the linker script, resulting in this error:
ld: bios.elf: error: PHDR segment not covered by LOAD segment
From the 2.34 NEWS:
The ld check for "PHDR segment not covered by LOAD segment" is more
effective, catching cases that were wrongly allowed by previous versions of
ld. If you see this error it is likely you are linking with a bad linker
script or the binary you are building is not intended to be loaded by a
dynamic loader. In the latter case --no-dynamic-linker is appropriate.
As the BIOS runs bare metal, we do not need to emit a PHDR segment.

This patch adds the static files needed for the documentation to the
`package_data` field in `setup.py`.
I ran into failures when generating documentation after installing litex
using pipenv which didn't copy these files which in turn caused the
documentation generation to fail.
This change causes all files in the `static` subfolder of the
litex.soc.doc module to be installed as well.
READ_CHECK_TEST_PATTERN_MAX_ERRORS was being computed incorrectly
which could result in integer underflows when computing core via
(max_errors - errors). This could happen e.g. when using
DFIRateConverter, which modifies DFII_PIX_DATA_BYTES. Now we use
DFII_PIX_DATA_BYTES in the equation so this should not happen.
