********************************************* <!channel> Hello everyone, I want to make you aware that we posted a set of new tags 

mpw-5b

 for 

caravel_user_project

 and 

caravel

.  This update addresses issue many of you reported related following the instructions recently posted and executing the make pdk step.   The instructions required that you had magic installed to build the pdk.  The new update uses a docker container for magic to build the pdk. *********************************************

@User @User

The simulation is still broken as the include paths are wrong and the C files don't compile. Having done all necessary prior steps, running

make verify-io_ports

gives the a linker error when combining the linker scripts:

/opt/riscv32i/lib/gcc/riscv32-unknown-elf/8.2.0/../../../../riscv32-unknown-elf/bin/ld: cannot open linker script file ../../generated/output_format.ld: No such file or directory

Trying to run instead

make verify-la_test1

gives a compilation error:

la_test1.c:121:7: error: 'reg_la0_data_in' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'reg_la0_data'?

These can be fixed but presumably they were flagged by the failing CI before the tag was created?

@User we had an issue where we missing a merge for one of the repos (mgmt_core_wrapper). would you mind trying again. you will need to reinstall or update the mcw.

@User I've updated

mgmt_core_wrapper

and I can confirm this now works! Thank you so much. Is there any reason that the

mgmt_core_wrapper

hasn't been added as a git submodule? Also just for public information the

make simenv

isn't necessary since in the verify command docker will pull that image if it can't find it locally

we’ve had git submodules previously, but it caused some issues with consistency and automation previously and we have back away from it in the current version.

@User Is there hope for the analog caravel (caravan) to be updated to mpw-5b, or should I use mpw-5a?

we are reviewing it and will update
