Michael Rogenmoser developed and integrated advanced hardware features across the pulp-platform/picobello and pulp-platform/snitch_cluster repositories, focusing on robust hardware-software interfaces. He delivered a DRAM serial link interface for the Cheshire Tile, updating Verilog modules and build systems to enable new DRAM communication pathways. Michael also integrated SystemRDL-based address map generation, aligning C and Verilog definitions for safer, reproducible hardware bring-up. In snitch_cluster, he migrated register descriptions from Hjson/reggen to RDL/peakrdl, modernizing the toolchain and improving CI reliability. His work demonstrated depth in Verilog, SystemVerilog, and build system configuration, resulting in maintainable, scalable hardware design and integration.
2025-07 Monthly summary for pulp-platform/snitch_cluster: Key feature delivered is the migration and modernization of the register description toolchain. We replaced Hjson/reggen with RDL/peakrdl to standardize register descriptions and strengthen the hardware-software interface generation, with cascading improvements to CI workflows, build scripts, and peripheral register definitions. Commit 201bba33a8a4937aaef122e7f2c02357a82b3826 documents the change. No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact: more robust, scalable register models; improved CI reliability and maintainability; faster onboarding for new peripherals and features. Technologies/skills demonstrated: RDL, peakrdl, removal of Hjson/reggen, toolchain modernization, CI/build tooling, peripheral register modeling.

Month: 2025-05. Delivered a DRAM Serial Link Interface for the Cheshire Tile within the pulp-platform/picobello repository, establishing the foundation for enhanced DRAM communication and system integration. Key activities included updating the build system to reference the picobello-pd submodule commit and extending the Cheshire tile (cheshire_tile.sv) with the necessary ports and logic for the DRAM serial link, while configuring picobello_pkg.sv to integrate the new interface with the system. The work is captured in commit 5ba3de6d5dd6850491332ccbd419a906066bd700 with message: "Add additional serial link for dram (#33)".
