Installation
------------
Updates to install and tests Includes CAD suite info and details on the OSS CAD suite nightly build targets. Instructions for building from source, largely based on the readme but with some minor modifications. Tests are still WIP, but we replaced the old test suites with a brief comment on the github workflow tests. Still needs more on the tests themselves and how to run them locally. Also an extra todo on the index page.

This document will guide you through the process of installing Yosys.
CAD suite(s)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yosys is part of the `Tabby CAD Suite
<https://www.yosyshq.com/tabby-cad-datasheet>`_ and the `OSS CAD Suite
<https://github.com/YosysHQ/oss-cad-suite-build>`_! The easiest way to use yosys
is to install the binary software suite, which contains all required
dependencies and related tools.
* `Contact YosysHQ <https://www.yosyshq.com/contact>`_ for a `Tabby CAD Suite
<https://www.yosyshq.com/tabby-cad-datasheet>`_ Evaluation License and
download link
* OR go to https://github.com/YosysHQ/oss-cad-suite-build/releases to download
the free OSS CAD Suite
* Follow the `Install Instructions on GitHub
<https://github.com/YosysHQ/oss-cad-suite-build#installation>`_
Make sure to get a Tabby CAD Suite Evaluation License if you need features such
as industry-grade SystemVerilog and VHDL parsers!
For more information about the difference between Tabby CAD Suite and the OSS
CAD Suite, please visit https://www.yosyshq.com/tabby-cad-datasheet
Many Linux distributions also provide Yosys binaries, some more up to date than
others. Check with your package manager!
Targeted architectures
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The `OSS CAD Suite`_ releases `nightly builds`_ for the following architectures:
TODOs Blocking tasks are now capital TODO (compared to non-blocking todo). Updated some of the todos. Added note about which intel synth does which families. Rename extended Yosys universe to Yosys family. Added brief text to landing page, and also a note about the restructure and where to find old docs. Moved todolist above ToC in preparation for disabling it in the config (so that it doesn't need it's own header). Fixed pdf build, was previously breaking on trying to include the svg badges.

Building from source
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Refer to the `readme`_ for the most up-to-date install instructions.
.. _readme: https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys#building-from-source
docs: Moving 011 into main body of manual Mostly in the `more_scripting` section, with part of the intro in the `scripting_intro`. Also includes an extra todo on the installation page and some extra notes on where to find `show` details where relevant.

Supported platforms

Tests are still WIP, but we replaced the old test suites with a brief comment on the github workflow tests. Still needs more on the tests themselves and how to run them locally.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following platforms are supported and regularly tested:
- Linux
- macOS
Other platforms which may work, but instructions may not be up to date and are
not regularly tested:
- FreeBSD
- WSL
- Windows with (e.g.) Cygwin
Build prerequisites
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A C++ compiler with C++11 support is required as well as some standard tools
such as GNU Flex, GNU Bison, Make, libffi, and Python3.6 or later. Some
additional tools: readline, Tcl and zlib; are optional but enabled by default
(see ``ENABLE_*`` settings in Makefile). Xdot (graphviz) is optional unless
using the :cmd:ref:`show` command to display schematics.
..
unclear if libffi is required now or still optional
readme says optional, but I can't find a corresponding ENABLE_*
Installing all prerequisites for Ubuntu 20.04:
.. code:: console
sudo sudo apt-get install build-essential clang bison flex \
libreadline-dev gawk tcl-dev libffi-dev git make \
graphviz xdot pkg-config python3 libboost-system-dev \
libboost-python-dev libboost-filesystem-dev zlib1g-dev
Installing all prerequisites for macOS 11 (with Homebrew):
.. code:: console
brew install bison flex gawk libffi git graphviz \
pkg-config python3 tcl-tk xdot bash boost-python3
Running the build system
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To configure the build system to use a specific compiler, use one of the
following:
.. code:: console
make config-clang
make config-gcc
Then, simply run ``make`` in this directory.
.. code:: console
make
sudo make install
Note that this also downloads, builds, and installs ABC (using yosys-abc as the
executable name).
.. seealso::
Refer to :doc:`/test_suites` for details on testing Yosys once compiled.

Source tree and build system
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Yosys source tree is organized into the following top-level
directories:
Docs: installation/source tree
2024-01-17 18:52:32 -06:00
``backends/``
This directory contains a subdirectory for each of the backend modules.
``docs/``
Contains the source for this documentation, including images and sample code.
``examples/``
Contains example code for using Yosys with some other tools including a demo
of the Yosys Python api, and synthesizing for various toolchains such as
Intel and Anlogic.
``frontends/``
This directory contains a subdirectory for each of the frontend modules.
``guidelines/``
Contains developer guidelines, including the code of conduct and coding style
guide.
``kernel/``
This directory contains all the core functionality of Yosys. This includes
the functions and definitions for working with the RTLIL data structures
(``rtlil.{h|cc}``), the ``main()`` function (``driver.cc``), the internal
framework for generating log messages (``log.{h|cc}``), the internal
framework for registering and calling passes (``register.{h|cc}``), some core
commands that are not really passes (``select.cc``, ``show.cc``, …) and a
couple of other small utility libraries.
``libs/``
Libraries packaged with Yosys builds are contained in this folder. See
:doc:`/appendix/auxlibs`.
``misc/``
Other miscellany which doesn't fit anywhere else.
``passes/``
This directory contains a subdirectory for each pass or group of passes. For
example as of this writing the directory ``passes/hierarchy/`` contains the
code for three passes: :cmd:ref:`hierarchy`, :cmd:ref:`submod`, and
:cmd:ref:`uniquify`.
``techlibs/``
This directory contains simulation models and standard implementations for
the cells from the internal cell library.
``tests/``
This directory contains the suite of unit tests and regression tests used by
Yosys. See :doc:`/test_suites`.

Tidy/reflow some things
2023-08-02 17:23:39 -05:00
The top-level Makefile includes ``frontends/*/Makefile.inc``,
``passes/*/Makefile.inc`` and ``backends/*/Makefile.inc``. So when extending
Yosys it is enough to create a new directory in ``frontends/``, ``passes/`` or
``backends/`` with your sources and a ``Makefile.inc``. The Yosys kernel
automatically detects all commands linked with Yosys. So it is not needed to add
additional commands to a central list of commands.

See the top-level README file for a quick Getting Started guide and build
instructions. The Yosys build is based solely on Makefiles.
Users of the Qt Creator IDE can generate a QT Creator project file using make
qtcreator. Users of the Eclipse IDE can use the "Makefile Project with Existing
Code" project type in the Eclipse "New Project" dialog (only available after the
CDT plugin has been installed) to create an Eclipse project in order to
programming extensions to Yosys or just browse the Yosys code base.
