\subsubsection{Changing the design from Yosys}
\begin{frame}{\subsubsecname}
Yosys commands can be used to change the design in memory. Examples of this are:
\begin{itemize}
\item {\bf Changes in design hierarchy} \\
Commands such as {\tt flatten} and {\tt submod} can be used to change the design hierarchy, i.e.
flatten the hierarchy or moving parts of a module to a submodule. This has applications in synthesis
scripts as well as in reverse engineering and analysis.
\item {\bf Behavioral changes} \\
Commands such as {\tt techmap} can be used to make behavioral changes to the design, for example
changing asynchronous resets to synchronous resets. This has applications in design space exploration
(evaluation of various architectures for one circuit).
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\subsubsection{Example: Async reset to sync reset}
\begin{frame}[t, fragile]{\subsubsecname}
The following techmap map file replaces all positive-edge async reset flip-flops with
positive-edge sync reset flip-flops. The code is taken from the example Yosys script
for ASIC synthesis of the Amber ARMv2 CPU.

\subsection{Summary}
\begin{frame}{\subsecname}
\begin{itemize}
\item A lot can be achieved in Yosys just with the standard set of commands.
\item The commands {\tt techmap} and {\tt extract} can be used to prototype many complex synthesis tasks.
\end{itemize}
