For trace generation we currently use
spike-dasmto dissassemble single instructions from core log files. The problem withspike-dasmis that is an external executable, that needs to be maintained by us. For instance, new instructions need to be added manually tospike-dasmfor decoding.The better alternative is
llvm-mcwhich is a CLI tool that is compiled alongside LLVM. This means all our custom ISA extensions supported by the LLVM toolchain are also automatically supported byllvm-mcand don't have to be added manually to the dissasembler as before.
