verilator: Create XML output about the design (files, modules, instance hierarchy, logic and data types) to feed into other tools.
$ verilator --xml-output -Wall ${path-to-output-xml}
try on your machine
The command "verilator --xml-output -Wall ${path-to-output-xml}" is used to run the Verilator tool with specific options.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "verilator": This is the name of the Verilator executable.
- "--xml-output": This option instructs Verilator to generate an XML file as the output. The XML file contains information about the design hierarchy, modules, ports, signals, etc.
- "-Wall": This option enables all warning messages to be displayed during Verilator's analysis and compilation process. It helps to identify potential issues or mistakes in the design.
- "${path-to-output-xml}": This is the path where the output XML file will be saved. You should replace "${path-to-output-xml}" with the actual file path and name where you want to save the XML file.
By executing this command, Verilator will analyze and compile a Verilog codebase and generate an XML file with design information while displaying all warning messages.
