We would like to integrate an existing network-on-chip written in Chisel, which is a subset of scala, to the rocket chip generator. The rocket chip generator is a tool that supports generation of different architectures based on RISC-V ISA. The tool has a crossbar network for on chip communication. However this is not a feasible structure when the number of cores increase to hundreds. Therefore we plan to replace this network with a scalable 2D mesh network.

- Scala knowledge is required as the generator and the network-on-chip are written in Chisel. 

- Hardware development and/or system-on-chip design knowledge will be helpful.
