feat(spi): Increase Spi2TLUL bulk transfer size to 16-bit

This change increases the maximum bulk transfer size of the Spi2TLUL module from 256 bytes to 65536 bytes by widening the length registers from 8 to 16 bits.

The key changes include:
- Updated the Spi2TLUL Chisel module to use 16-bit length registers for both bulk and regular TileLink transfers.
- Modified the SPI command state machine to handle two-byte length transactions.
- Re-implemented the internal data buffers using SyncReadMem to support larger, configurable depths, and increased the buffer size to 4KB.
- Introduced pipelining for SRAM reads to improve performance with larger data transfers.
- Updated the Python SPI master utility and cocotb tests to support 16-bit register accesses and larger data transfers.
- Added new cocotb tests to verify large (up to 4KB) packed writes and pipelined reads.

Kelvin

Kelvin is a RISC-V32IM core with a custom instruction set.

Kelvin block diagram

More information on the design can be found in the overview.

Getting Started

  • If you are hardware engineer looking to integrate Kelvin into your design, check out our integration guide.
  • If you are a software engineer looking to write code for Kelvin, start with this tutorial.

Building

Kelvin uses bazel as it's build system. The Verilated simulator for Kelvin can be generated using:

bazel build //tests/verilator_sim:core_sim

The verilog source for the Kelvin core can be generated using:

bazel build //hdl/chisel/src/kelvin:core_cc_library_emit_verilog

Verilog source for the Matcha SoC can be generated using:

bazel clean --expunge  # To generate the ToT sha
bazel build //hdl/chisel:matcha_kelvin_verilog
