Description

In Asynchronous Queue Line 99:
source_valid.reset := reset.asBool || !sio.sink_reset_n

Asynchronous reset signal of source_valid is driven by a combinational logic. There is a possibility of glitch on the reset signal. Am I missing something?

There are many places with same errors in AsyncQueue.scala
