When creating a new "Config" we define a function that takes three "View"s (site, here, up) as arguments. What is the meaning of these three Views?
As purely a historical reference, take a look at the Chisel2 Advanced Parameterization Manual (with the huge caveat to not take this too literally as it's old). However, I believe that the motivation and discussion of site
, here
, and up
still holds in sections 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, and 3.6.
Roughly, site
, here
, and up
help with handling and resolving dependencies on other parameters.
site
allows you to disambiguate different parameters that may have the same name, e.g., Width
, based on a defined location. here
allows parameters to query other parameters defined in the same group. up
allows you to access a parent configuration's parameter object with the intended purpose being if you want to copy it while modifying parameters.
