Updating to a recent Chisel 7 version pulls in chipsalliance/chisel#5099, which causes source incompatibilities in Rocket Chip. That was fixed in chipsalliance/rocket-chip#3775, so I bumped that submodule to the latest.

That in turn causes an incompatibility with Shuttle. That was fixed in ucb-bar/shuttle#15, so I bumped that submodule to latest.

Updating to a non-RC version of Chisel 7 also causes linking errors with json4s, as mentioned in chipsalliance/chisel#4955. So I've updated the version of json4s-jackson that Rocket Chip uses during the Chisel 7 build.

The CI failures appear to be a combination of:

  • Artifact fetching failures
  • No vcs setup
  • Firesim runner unavailable

@tynan-jdwk can you remove the shuttle commit? we've already bumped it on the branch that this will be going into. we'll use the dev-june2026-release branch for the upcoming firesim & chipyard releases. we can keep the changes in build.sbt; thanksa!
