It is needed to clarify dependent tools version about rocket-chip HOT 5 OPEN

The version of firtool seems to be 1.30.0 for current master branch. Correct me if not.

from rocket-chip.

Merges to master would ideally be accompanied by release notes. My own volunteer time has been limited to help with changelog and automation.

A first step would be something in vein of #3231 which would update the changelog and mark a commit as a released version.

From a code management perspective, this would look something like the following using git flow:

• release tags - designated commit versions for users. tooling and verification policies are documented to these commits.

• master - a stable edge for power users comfortable following tooling changes on the fly

• dev - rc developers / bleeding edge users.

What about to add a new target "init" in Makefile? Just like this:

`

init:
add init tools... ...

rocketchip: init
... ...
