iverilog: Compile using Verilog library files from a different path.
$ iverilog ${path-to-source-v} -o ${path-to-executable} -I${path-to-library_directory}
try on your machine

This command is using the iverilog compiler, which is a computer-aided design tool used for compiling and simulating digital circuits written in the Verilog hardware description language.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • ${path-to-source-v}: This is a placeholder for the path to your source code file(s) with the .v extension. You need to provide the actual path to your Verilog source file(s).

  • -o ${path-to-executable}: -o is an option to specify the output file name for the compiled executable. ${path-to-executable} is a placeholder for the desired path and name of the executable file to be generated. You need to replace it with the actual path and name you want for your executable.

  • -I${path-to-library_directory}: -I is an option used to specify the directory location for any library files or module dependencies that your Verilog code relies on. ${path-to-library_directory} should be replaced with the actual path to your library directory.

So, in summary, this command compiles the source Verilog code file(s) specified by ${path-to-source-v}, saving the compiled executable file with the desired path and name specified by ${path-to-executable}, and includes any necessary library files or modules from ${path-to-library_directory} during the compilation process.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
