Change directories for default layers to use lowercase output directories. While this is independently likely a better choice, it is a somewhat pragmatic, as these directory names match the legacy names of
firtool
's extract-test-code feature (which was a custom SiFive pass for the SFC before being open-sourced infirtool
). This will help us land an extract-test-code replacement without having to disturb build flows. Secondarily, and independently, lower case directories are likely better.There are two alternative changes which were rejected:
The layers could be renamed to be lowercase. Generally, it's better to have objects and classes be uppercase.
The automatic directory names could be mangled to be lowercase as opposed to the exact layer names.
