verilator:tldr:3c882

verilator: Build a specific C project in the current directory.
$ verilator --binary --build-jobs 0 -Wall ${path-to-source-v}
try on your machine

This command is using the "verilator" tool to compile and simulate a Verilog source file. Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • verilator: This is the command to execute the verilator tool.
  • --binary: This option tells verilator to generate a binary file as the output.
  • --build-jobs 0: This option sets the number of parallel build jobs to 0, meaning verilator will not use multiple threads for compilation.
  • -Wall: This option enables the display of all warning messages during the compilation process.
  • ${path-to-source-v}: This is the placeholder for the path to the Verilog source file or directory that you want to compile.

In summary, this command will use verilator to compile the specified Verilog source file while enabling the display of warning messages. The output will be a binary file.
