Rebuild with changes to caravel host which where not included in previous rebuild. Also removed GL simulations from GitHub action as they take too long and where causing it to time out.

Need to do
- Make final version of art
- Decide on probe values
- Check for any remaining errors
Could do
- Misaligned architecture instructions
- Look into simulation with CVC
- Write macro level simulations to get more coverage due to shorter simulations
- Add JTAG test
- Add interrupt test
- Add uart pin swapping
- Page based flash controller
- Tile map rendering
- Fetch next instruction a clock cycle earlier so instructions only take 2 cycles
- Allow JTAG to read from wishbone bus
Reference work and inspiration
- Zero to ASIC Course: Complete course on ASIC design. Also has useful references and terminology definitions.
- Openlane Documentation: Reference for a lot of configuration. The Variables and Hardening Macros pages have been particularity useful.
- Caravel Documentation: Reference for caravel and configuration. This seems slightly out of date, but an alternate version can be found in the github repository.
- Riscduino: Used for inspiration and as a reference for using openlane. There are a number of similar aspects to this project, but all have been reimplemented rather than copied.
