I am trying to add an accelerator to the rocket chip framework through the MMIO peripheral. I went through the GCD example and was able to build the basic GCD code. I then replaced the GCD with an accelerator which has it's own Config, Parameters and Field information. Now when I try to pass this information to the rocket chip there is a name clash with the freechips.rocketchip.config.{Parameters, Field, Config}. I tried specifying the whole path i.e; accelerator.util.conig.Parameters to distinguish it from freechips.rocketchip.config.Parameters but it still gave me the same error. When I remove my accelerator configs and parameters and pass simple hand made parameters the build is successful, however, when I add my config I get %Error-TIMESCALEMOD and this error is in the generated file which I am not modifying. I tried a work around by altering my verilator options but that goes down a rabbit hole of errors. I have narrowed down the problem to the fact that this is being caused because I am using two different configs both of which have their own Config.scala file shown here Is there a way to fix this problem? I have attached the error with this question.
The problem was with a blackbox, not sure why it was giving me that error, but yes we can mix two different configs having different util.config files. We just have to specify them explicitly.
