Bazel Rules And Macros

check_sha256sum_frozen

check_sha256sum_frozen(name, src, frozen_file, sha256sum)

Produces a frozen file if the sha256sum checksum of a source file matches a user-defined checksum.

As projects cut releases or freeze, it's important to know that generated (e.g. Verilog) code is never changing without having to actually check in the generated artifact. This rule performs a checksum of a generated file as an integrity check. Users might use this rule to help enable confidence that there is neither:

  • non-determinism in the toolchain, nor
  • an accidental dependence on a non-released toolchain (e.g. an accidental dependence on top-of-tree, where the toolchain is constantly changing)

Say there was a codegen rule producing my_output.v, a user might instantiate something like:

check_sha256sum_frozen(
    name = "my_output_checksum",
    src = ":my_output.v",
    sha256sum = "d1bc8d3ba4afc7e109612cb73acbdddac052c93025aa1f82942edabb7deb82a1",
    frozen_file = "my_output.frozen.x",
)

... and then take a dependency on my_output.frozen.v in the surrounding project, knowing that it had been checksum-verified.

Taking a dependence on my_output.v directly may also be ok if the :my_output_checksum target is also built (e.g. via the same wildcard build request), but taking a dependence on the output .frozen.v file ensures that the checking is an integral part of the downstream build-artifact-creation process.

At its core, this rule ensure that the contents of a file does not change by verifying that it matches a given checksum. Typically, this rule is used to control the build process. The rule serves as a trigger on rules depending on its output (the frozen file). When the validation of the sha256sum succeed, rules depending on the frozen file are built/executed. When the validation of the sha256sum fails, rules depending on the frozen file are not built/executed.

In the example below, when the validation of the sha256sum for target 'generated_file_sha256sum_frozen' succeeds, target 'generated_file_dslx' is built. However, when the validation of the sha256sum for target 'generated_file_sha256sum_frozen' fails, target 'generated_file_dslx' is not built.

Examples:

  1. A simple example.
    check_sha256sum_frozen(
        name = "generated_file_sha256sum_frozen",
        src = ":generated_file.x",

        frozen_file = "generated_file.frozen.x",
    )

xls_model_generation

xls_model_generation(name, samples_file, standard_cells)

Builds a script to generate an XLS estimator model of a metric for one PDK corner. The metric can be either area or delay.

This rule gathers the locations of the required dependencies (Yosys, OpenSTA, helper scripts, and cell libraries) and generates a wrapper script that invokes "run_op_characterization" with the dependency locations provided as args.

Any extra runtime args will get passed in to the "run_op_characterization" script (e.g. "--debug" or "--quick_run").

The script must be "run" from the root of the workspace to perform the op characterization. The output textproto will be produced in the current directory (which, as just stated, must be the root of the workspace).

Currently, only a subset of XLS operators are characterized, including most arithmetic, logical, and shift operators. However, many common operators such as "concat", "bit_slice", and "encode" are missing, and so the delay model that is currently produced should be considered INCOMPLETE.

ATTRIBUTES

Name Description Type Mandatory Default
name A unique name for this target. Name required
samples_file Proto providing sample points. Label optional None
standard_cells Target for the PDK; will use the target's default corner. Label optional None

jit_wrapper_args Arguments of the JIT wrapper tool. Note: argument 'output_name' cannot be defined. {}

kwargs Keyword arguments. Named arguments. none

get_mangled_ir_symbol

get_mangled_ir_symbol(module_name, function_name, parametric_values, is_implicit_token,
                      is_proc_next)

Returns the mangled IR symbol for the module/function combination.

"Mangling" is the process of turning nicely namedspaced symbols into "grosser" (mangled) flat (non hierarchical) symbol, e.g. that lives on a package after IR conversion. To retrieve/execute functions that have been IR converted, we use their mangled names to refer to them in the IR namespace.

PARAMETERS

Name Description Default Value
module_name The DSLX module name that the function is within. none
function_name The DSLX function name within the module. none
parametric_values Any parametric values used for instantiation (e.g. for a parametric entry point that is known to be instantiated in the IR converted module). This is generally for more advanced use cases like internals testing. The argument is mutually exclusive with argument 'is_proc_next'. None
is_implicit_token A boolean flag denoting whether the symbol contains an implicit token. The argument is mutually exclusive with argument 'is_proc_next'. False
is_proc_next A boolean flag denoting whether the symbol is a next proc function. The argument is mutually exclusive with arguments: 'parametric_values' and 'is_implicit_token'. False

An IR conversion with a top entity defined.

```
# Assume a xls_dslx_library target bc_dslx is present.
xls_dslx_ir(
    name = "d_ir",
    srcs = ["d.x"],
