\subsection{Interactive Design Investigation}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{\subsecname}
Yosys can also be used to investigate designs (or netlists created
from other tools).

\begin{itemize}
\item
The selection mechanism (see slides ``Using Selections''), especially pattern such
as {\tt \%ci} and {\tt \%co}, can be used to figure out how parts of the design
are connected.

\item
Commands such as {\tt submod}, {\tt expose}, {\tt splice}, \dots can be used 
to transform the design into an equivialent design that is easier to analyse.

\item
Commands such as {\tt eval} and {\tt sat} can be used to investigate the
behavior of the circuit.
\end{itemize}
