NAME

6       xml2stems - Verilator XML to rtlbrowse stems conversion.

SYNTAX

9       xml2stems [option]... INFILE [OUTFILE]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Converts  Verilator  XML  AST representation to stems file for use with
13       rtlbrowse.  Intended to replace vermin, and  in  the  future,  advanced
14       tool  features may possibly use additional data provided by the Verila‐
15       tor AST.  Using "-" as an input filename reads  from  stdin.   Omitting
16       the output filename outputs to stdout.

EXAMPLES

27       The following is a chain of commands to compile Verilog source and then
28       bring  up  gtkwave  and  rtlbrowse together for source code annotation.
29       This assumes the file des.fst was already generated from a prior  simu‐
30       lation.
