Remove outdated documentation
By now, ibex depends not only on the a clock gating cell, but also on assert macros and a LFSR; there will be more to come. This removed piece of documentation was from the early days, when only a clock gating cell was to be provided (and we didn't ship one). Today, users need to either use FuseSoC, or run fusesoc on the simple system and "harvest" the resulting files if they want to copy-paste Ibex into their build system. That's not ideal, but not something we can very easily fix -- so let's remove the outdated documentation first to at least reduce the confusion.

Depending on the target technology, either the implementation in ``ibex_register_file_ff.sv`` or the one in ``ibex_register_file_latch.sv`` should be selected.

Clock Gating Cell
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Ibex requires clock gating cells.
|
||||
This cells are usually specific to the selected target technology and thus not provided as part of the RTL design.
|
||||
It is assumed that the clock gating cell is wrapped in a module called ``prim_clock_gating`` that has the following ports:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``clk_i``: Clock Input
|
||||
* ``en_i``: Clock Enable Input
|
||||
* ``test_en_i``: Test Enable Input (activates the clock even though ``en_i`` is not set)
|
||||
* ``clk_o``: Gated Clock Output
|
||||
|
||||
Inside Ibex, clock gating cells are used both in ``ibex_core.sv`` and ``ibex_register_file_latch.sv``.
|
||||
For more information on the expected behavior of the clock gating cell when using the latch-based register file check out :ref:`register-file`.
