Triggered by @stokdam in #463 (comment)

This PR adds a new generic to the processor's top entity that allows to "downgrade" the on-chip debugger's debug module (DM) back to version 0.13.

  • DM_LEGACY_MODE = false: DM is compatible to debug spec. version 1.0
  • DM_LEGACY_MODE = true: DM is compatible to debug spec. version 0.13 (legacy mode)

This PR also provides some clean-ups and optimizations for the on-chip debugger modules (DTM & DM).

I think the "legacy" mode is working fine now - at least on my test setup. It would be great if you could test that with your setup, too. 😉

Just letting you know: this also works for me. Tested legacy v0.13 as well as v1.0 and successfully could debug the core.

$ openocd --version
> Open On-Chip Debugger 0.11.0-R22.4-gc5bf4f3-dirty (2023-04-25-10:00)
$ riscv32-unknown-elf-gdb --version
> GNU gdb (GDB) 12.1

Nice cleanups!

Once this merges I can provide an updated version of the Intel specific DTM in the neorv32-setups repo.

Also works with my setup (v 0.13). However, the error "Error: unable to halt hart 0" I think was due to missing IMEM in configuration. 1.7.9 forced me to enable it (I have not connected any system bus yet), while latest version does not. Running this PR with the same configuration (no IMEM) gives the same error, which disappeared after enabling IMEM.

Thanks for the feedback!

That would be very cool! 😉

So the debugger does not work if there is absolutely no memory available (no internal memories and no external ones)? At least the bootloader ROM should be there...
Anyway, good to hear that the setup is working now.

So I think this can be merged, right?
