Steps required for the transition from v1.1.0 to v1.2.0:

Synthesis

Replace LWC package source files with corresponding updated versions in hardware/LWC_rtl. Note that NIST_LWAPI_pkg.vhd should now be used without modification. LWC API configuration should be set in a user-provided LWC_config package. Please see the provided template and examples: LWC_config_32.vhd, LWC_config_8.vhd.
The list of synthesis source files has slightly changed:
- The file containing the LWC_config VHDL package (e.g., LWC_config.vhd) usually needs to go at the top of source compilation list, following with NIST_LWAPI_pkg.vhd and the file containing the design_pkg package (e.g., design_pkg.vhd). The source files for user's implementation of CryptoCore or CryptoCore_SCA need to be added next, following by the package implementation source files: data_sipo.vhd, data_piso.vhd, key_piso.vhd, FIFO.vhd, PreProcessor.vhd, PostProcessor.vhd, and LWC.vhd (or LWC_SCA.vhd for protected implementations).
- The implementation for the FIFO has been optimized and the entity and the source file have been renamed to FIFO and FIFO.vhd.

Replace the files previously stored in hardware/LWCsrc by the files from the folder hardware/LWC_rtl

Replace LWC_TB.vhd, previously provided in the folder hardware/LWCsrc, with the two files from the folder hardware/LWC_tb
Modify values of the top-level testbench generics by revising LWC_TB.vhd or by overriding values of generics using options of the simulator

Generate KATs using cryptotvgen
Set the generic G_TEST_MODE in LWC_TB to 4
Run simulation
Review the files timing.csv and timing.txt generated in the same folder as other log files
