Developed a runtime assertion mechanism for the OpenXiangShan/Utility repository to detect and block SRAM read-write conflicts in operational modes that prohibit such behavior. This feature, implemented in Scala and leveraging expertise in digital logic design and embedded systems, prevents invalid memory interactions from reaching the SRAM macro, thereby reducing the risk of silicon misbehavior. The work included updating and expanding the test suite to validate the new assertion across relevant modes, enhancing both runtime safety and test coverage. By enabling early detection of potential hardware issues, the contribution improved the maintainability and reliability of the Utility component’s hardware design.
April 2025 monthly summary for OpenXiangShan/Utility: delivered a runtime assertion mechanism to detect SRAM read-write conflicts in modes that disallow them, preventing propagation of conflicts to the SRAM macro and reducing risk of silicon misbehavior. The feature was accompanied by an updated test suite to validate the new assertion behavior. This work improves runtime safety, test coverage, and maintainability of the Utility component.
