current status of this

• firesim, firemarshal default source building (building buildroot linux) is untested
• gemmini spike extensions in riscv toolchain in step 3 is broken due to a linking issue, currently commented out in setup flow
• able to build chisel and compile down to verilog, able to elaborate RocketConfig + all collateral, including memory/SRAM dependency configs, diplomacy graphs etc
• currently not able to run a verilator rtl sim due to a missing file, see below
  • commercial tooling (vcs etc) untested
• if you need to install the riscv toolchain to complete ./build-setup.sh step, install via homebrew here https://github.com/jimfangx/homebrew-riscv
• this was tested on gcc version: riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc (g04696df09) 14.2.0

• look in generated-src/hello.out - seems like a missing file

build-setup.sh Step 1: Conda environment setup

• Step 1 currently does not work because some of the expected packages (riscv-tools) only exist for linux, and must be manually installed for arm. After this workaround is done, you can skip setting up step 1 with build-setup.sh.
