Make DSP multipliers a parameter

Open glaserf opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

The DSP multipliers are not required in every usecase and make up for quite a significant share of the core area. Hence it would be nice to control the instantiation with a top-level parameter.

@glaserf A pull request has been made to guard all of the PULP extensions (including the DSP multipliers), see https://github.com/openhwgroup/cv32e40p/pull/398. The reasons for not implementing finer grained control on CV32E40P are explained in https://github.com/openhwgroup/cv32e40p/issues/381. On a next core, e.g. CV32E40, it is the intention to have an extension interface such that it becomes easier for everybody to exactly add the required extensions.
