Description

Currently we have a verible and a Verilator lint target in Ibex, and an AscentLint lint target in OpenTitan. Each target has an associated waiver file. For consistency, we should think about adding the AscentLint target to Ibex as well, together with the waiver file that currently lives at https://github.com/lowRISC/opentitan/blob/master/hw/ip/rv_core_ibex/lint/rv_core_ibex.waiver

We cannot run AscentLint in CI on Ibex, but we'll get the lint results by either manually running the tool (if someone has access to it), or as soon as Ibex is vendored into OT.

Research direction

Compare Ibex’s existing Verible and Verilator lint targets with OpenTitan’s AscentLint setup. Start with hw/ip/rv_core_ibex/lint/rv_core_ibex.waiver in OpenTitan and determine where the corresponding Ibex waiver and target belong. Done means Ibex has an AscentLint target and associated waiver, with results obtainable manually or through future vendoring into OT.
