This PR updates the NEORV32 Runtime Environment (RTE) to support easier emulation of unsupported CPU / SoC features like unimplemented instructions and even unaligned memory accesses.
The RTE now performs a full context backup of the interrupted application by storing all
x
integer registers to the stack. The base address of this stack frame is copied to themscratch
CSR. Dedicated "context access" function use this CSR value to provide easy access to the application context allowing reading and altering of registers:🚀 A demo program is added to
sw/example/demo_emulate_unaligned
to showcase how to emulate unaligned memory accesses.
