Synthesis Tools (such as Yosys) can transform HDL code to circuits:

\subsection{What Yosys can and can't do}
\begin{frame}{\subsecname}
Things Yosys can do:
\begin{itemize}
\item Read and process (most of) modern Verilog-2005 code.
\item Perform all kinds of operations on netlist (RTL, Logic, Gate).
\item Perform logic optimiziations and gate mapping with ABC\footnote{\url{http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~alanmi/abc/}}.
\end{itemize}
\bigskip
Things Yosys can't do:
\begin{itemize}
\item Process high-level languages such as C/C++/SystemC.
\item Create physical layouts (place\&route).
\end{itemize}
\bigskip
A typical flow combines Yosys with with a low-level implementation tool, such
as Qflow\footnote{\url{http://opencircuitdesign.com/qflow/}} for ASIC designs.
\end{frame}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Yosys Data- and Control-Flow}
\begin{frame}{\subsecname}
A (usually short) synthesis script controlls Yosys.
This scripts contain three types of commands:
\begin{itemize}
\item {\bf Frontends}, that read input files (usually Verilog).
\item {\bf Passes}, that perform transformation on the design in memory.
\item {\bf Backends}, that write the design in memory to a file (various formats are available, e.g. Verilog, BLIF, EDIF, SPICE, BTOR, etc.).
\end{itemize}
