Rework images makefile a bit to get it to import and build from resources folder(s). Currently requires running twice from a clean build due to the way it finds `.dot` files to convert.

|

This document was originally published as bachelor thesis at the Vienna
|
||||
University of Technology :cite:p:`BACC`.
|
||||
|
||||
Yosys is a tool for synthesising (behavioural) Verilog HDL code to target
|
||||
architecture netlists. Yosys aims at a wide range of application domains and
|
||||
thus must be flexible and easy to adapt to new tasks.
|
||||
Yosys is a Verilog HDL synthesis tool. This means that it takes a behavioural
|
||||
design description as input and generates an RTL, logical gate or physical gate
|
||||
level description of the design as output. Yosys' main strengths are behavioural
|
||||
and RTL synthesis. A wide range of commands (synthesis passes) exist within
|
||||
Yosys that can be used to perform a wide range of synthesis tasks within the
|
||||
domain of behavioural, rtl and logic synthesis. Yosys is designed to be
|
||||
extensible and therefore is a good basis for implementing custom synthesis tools
|
||||
for specialised tasks.

What you can do with Yosys
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Read and process (most of) modern Verilog-2005 code
|
||||
- Perform all kinds of operations on netlist (RTL, Logic, Gate)
|
||||
- Perform logic optimizations and gate mapping with ABC
|
||||
|
||||
Things you can't do
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
- Process high-level languages such as C/C++/SystemC
|
||||
- Create physical layouts (place&route)
|
||||
+ Check out `nextpnr`_ for that
