Move presentation intro example

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.

Where Yosys exists in the layers of abstraction
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
