SYNTAX

DESCRIPTION

12       Converts  Verilator  XML  AST representation to stems file for use with
13       rtlbrowse.  Intended to replace the obsolete vermin, and in the future,
14       advanced tool features may possibly use additional data provided by the
15       Verilator AST.  Using "-" as an input filename reads from stdin.  Omit‐
16       ting the output filename outputs to stdout.
17

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.
