Enable OS by default and optimize
addrgen
critical paths.Most of the
addrgen
critical quantities are calculated in advance with the least dependencies possible.For example, the expensive computation to find the AXI end address should not depend on the
mmu_valid_i
signal from CVA6, i.e., the virtual address computation should not depend on CVA6's answer.The new address can be computed ahead of time and saved as "next request" as soon as CVA6 answers back with the previous physical address, while the old virtual address is kept constant with the translation request.
