No clock message for alf

[quasiquote1]

Hi,

I am creating my own alf file for Helios, and I noticed that I get a "#NO! clock" message where the cycle count should be:

Is there a way I can fix this?

Thanks!

Wondering if you can provide a little detail. Can you share part of the ALF?

I have attached my ALF and .cmd files.

In my simulation I have connected two Sparta Units together (each on their own ResourceTreeNode), and those two Units are connected to the root node.

I should definitely have a clock object since I see my simulation complete successfully and it also prints out stats for root clock cycles.

Thanks, I'll try to find some time today to take a peek at it.

Ok, I see how this works. @TopChangwatchaiSiFive would understand this best, but your ROB name is different from what's hard-coded in the perl script:

map/helios/pipeViewer/scripts/gen_alf/gen_alf

Line 691 in 95d7126

printf $fh ("- Content: cycle^ LOC.rob.ReorderBuffer.ReorderBuffer0^ color: %s^ dimensions: (%s, %s)^ position: (%s, %s)^ t_offset: %s\n",

Specifically, I think you need to change LOC.rob.ReorderBuffer.ReorderBuffer0 in gen_alf to ROBBuffer_age_ordered.ROBBuffer_age_ordered0 (or something to that effect).

I'm not 100% sure why you need to use the ROB entry for the cycle count, but that seems to be the problem. Maybe Top would be able to answer that...

Thanks for looking into this. This was more of an annoyance more than anything - it wasn't affecting functionality since the bottom most cycle controls were still working.
