How should I use picker to test clock domain crossing circuits?

You can refer to the implementation of xclock and implement dual-clock or multi-clock management on your own. Contributions of Pull requests (PRs) are also welcome.

It is preferable to implement the different clocks on the Verilog side, although support is also available on the Python side. In a multi-clock scenario, each Step() should be considered as one minimal timeframe (such as 1ps). You can manually process the clock edge for each different clock.

For example,Clock A 3ps /cycle and Clock B 5ps /cycle, start with 0

Time (ps)	0	3	5	6	9	10	12	15
Clock	-	A+	B+	A-	A+	B-	A-	A+, B+
Step() Count	0	3	5	6	9	10	12	15

The toffe clock does not yet support cross clock-zone functionality, so you will need to handle it manually. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

In the future, we plan to enhance our support for multi-clock such as configurable mutli-clock witch auto match for toffe. If you have any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

@Devil-SX XClock has added a frequency division feature, which can be used to implement multi-clocks. You can refer to MultiClock for an example.
