v1.12.1

This maintenance release mostly fixes bugs and improves some under-the-covers behaviors.

v1.12.0

This is a fairly small release that adds initial support for a chip tapeout prototyping board, yaml support, and a few improvements to the buildroot distro options. This release coordinates with Chipyard release 1.5.0.

v1.11.0

This release coordinates with Chipyard v1.4.0 and includes several board-related features, improving customizability of the hard-coded base components. Another important change to note is the inclusion of an updated default icenet driver that requires a recent version of that device in RocketChip (see details below). Finally, the Fedora distribution has been updated to a more recent version.

Version 1.10.0

The biggest change in this release is the introduction of OpenSBI as the default firmware. BBL is still supported, but no longer the default. Other changes include a number of performance improvements, better support for user-provided kernel modules, and various bug fixes.

See CHANGELOG.md for details

Version 1.9.0

This is largely a maintenance release with a few minor features and a bunch of bug fixes. The most significant change is a bump to Linux 5.7rc3. The new 'firesim-dir' configuration option is also signficant because it enables more flexible deployment of FireMarshal in Chipyard and FireSim and is required for Chipyard 1.3.0.
