Is it possible to use newer versions of Verilator and FuseSOC
The version suggested in this repository is 4.104. Is it possible to use version 4.210, or even 5.107? Or should I install 2 versions of verilator? The reason is because i would like to build the docker container according to the instruction in ibex-demo-system, but the verilator version stated in container/Dockerfile mentioned
# Global configuration options.
ARG VERILATOR_VERSION=4.210
ARG VERIBLE_VERSION=v0.0-2135-gb534c1fe
ARG RISCV_TOOLCHAIN_RELEASE_TAG=20220210-1
This caused my docker to continue looping 5/17.

I am worried that if i update to the newest version, i might not be able to build the simulation.
On a side note, I thought of upgrading FuseSOC to the latest one too. Is it advisable to do it?
I have updated the fusesoc to the latest version (2.3), but now I cannot build the simulation, although it works fine before. Now I get the following error:

Is there a solution for that? And what version should I use? Since, I don't remember what was the version that works, I can't build the simulation again!
i checked my version is 0.1. I can't remember how i installed my fusesoc, but yeah i got the 0.1 instead. Thanks for letting me know about it!
Now, I have tried with all of the versions listed here: "1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.6.1, 1.7, 1.8, 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 1.8.3, 1.8.4, 1.9, 1.9.1, 1.9.2, 1.9.3, 1.10, 1.11.0, 1.12.0, 2.0rc1, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.3" and it worked for 2.0. I checked the version and 2.0 was there.
But then when I try to build the system again, I got the following error: "Key 'cores' not found in GAPI structure. Install a compatible version with 'pip3 install --user -r python-requirements.txt'."" Once I installed the requirements, I could build the system. But now, fusesoc --version command prints "0.1".
I did not understand how it worked, but it worked, although there is no version like "0.1" listed there.
That's interesting! Have you tried using different versions of verilator as well? Is it possible to share the commands you've used to install different versions of FuseSOC, i would like to replicate it myself too.
I did not try it. Currently, I am using the version "Verilator 5.018 2023-10-30 rev v5.018-38-g344f87abe".
The commands are:
- Uninstall the Current Version:
pip uninstall fusesoc - Install the Desired Version:
pip install fusesoc==2.0 - Verify the Installation:
fusesoc --version
Please let me know, if you learn something new!
I have updated the fusesoc to the latest version (2.3), but now I cannot build the simulation, although it works fine before. Now I get the following error:

—————————————————————————— I also encountered the same problem, please tell me how you solved it?
I was able to build correctly simple_system, following the instructions here. First, I got this same error when trying to use fusesoc installed through my package manger (2.3), and then checking how the CI installs it, found that inside the python requirements, a fork of fusesoc is used.
I'd recommend creating a python virtualenv, installing the requirements there, and using the fusesoc version shipped there:
python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r python-requirements.txt
which fusesoc
fusesoc --version # should return 0.1
I just saw the upstream changes of fusesoc, and the changes are ... linting? https://github.com/lowRISC/fusesoc/
