\section{abc -- use ABC for technology mapping}
\label{cmd:abc}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    abc [options] [selection]

This pass uses the ABC tool [1] for technology mapping of yosys's internal gate
library to a target architecture.

    -exe <command>
        use the specified command name instead of "yosys-abc" to execute ABC.
        This can e.g. be used to call a specific version of ABC or a wrapper.

    -script <file>
        use the specified ABC script file instead of the default script.

        if <file> starts with a plus sign (+), then the rest of the filename
        string is interprated as the command string to be passed to ABC. the
        leading plus sign is removed and all commas (,) in the string are
        replaced with blanks before the string is passed to ABC.

        if no -script parameter is given, the following scripts are used:

        for -liberty without -constr:
          strash; scorr -v; ifraig -v; retime -v {D}; strash; dch -vf;
               map -v {D}

        for -liberty with -constr:
          strash; scorr -v; ifraig -v; retime -v {D}; strash; dch -vf;
               map -v {D}; buffer -v; upsize -v {D}; dnsize -v {D};
               stime -p

        for -lut:
          strash; scorr -v; ifraig -v; retime -v; strash; dch -vf; if -v

        otherwise:
          strash; scorr -v; ifraig -v; retime -v; strash; dch -vf; map -v

    -fast
        use different default scripts that are slightly faster (at the cost
        of output quality):

        for -liberty without -constr:
          retime -v {D}; map -v {D}

        for -liberty with -constr:
          retime -v {D}; map -v {D}; buffer -v; upsize -v {D};
               dnsize -v {D}; stime -p

        for -lut:
          retime -v; if -v

        otherwise:
          retime -v; map -v

    -liberty <file>
        generate netlists for the specified cell library (using the liberty
        file format).

    -constr <file>
        pass this file with timing constraints to ABC. use with -liberty.

        a constr file contains two lines:
            set_driving_cell <cell_name>
            set_load <floating_point_number>

        the set_driving_cell statement defines which cell type is assumed to
        drive the primary inputs and the set_load statement sets the load in
        femtofarads for each primary output.

    -D <picoseconds>
        set delay target. the string {D} in the default scripts above is
        replaced by this option when used, and an empty string otherwise.

    -lut <width>
        generate netlist using luts of (max) the specified width.

    -dff
        also pass $_DFF_?_ cells through ABC (only one clock domain, if many
        clock domains are present in a module, the one with the largest number
        of $_DFF_?_ cells in it is used)

    -clk [!]<signal-name>
        use the specified clock domain. (when this option is used in combination
        with -dff, then it falls back to the automatic dection of clock domain
        if the specified clock is not found in a module.)

    -keepff
        set the "keep" attribute on flip-flop output wires. (and thus preserve
        them, for example for equivialence checking.)

    -nocleanup
        when this option is used, the temporary files created by this pass
        are not removed. this is useful for debugging.

When neither -liberty nor -lut is used, the Yosys standard cell library is
loaded into ABC before the ABC script is executed.

This pass does not operate on modules with unprocessed processes in it.
(I.e. the 'proc' pass should be used first to convert processes to netlists.)

\end{lstlisting}

\section{add -- add objects to the design}
\label{cmd:add}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    add <command> [selection]

This command adds objects to the design. It operates on all fully selected
modules. So e.g. 'add -wire foo' will add a wire foo to all selected modules.


    add {-wire|-input|-inout|-output} <name> <width> [selection]

Add a wire (input, inout, output port) with the given name and width. The
command will fail if the object exists already and has different properties
than the object to be created.


    add -global_input <name> <width> [selection]

Like 'add -input', but also connect the signal between instances of the
selected modules.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{alumacc -- extract ALU and MACC cells}
\label{cmd:alumacc}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    alumacc [selection]

This pass translates arithmetic operations $add, $mul, $lt, etc. to $alu and
$macc cells.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{cd -- a shortcut for 'select -module <name>'}
\label{cmd:cd}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    cd <modname>

This is just a shortcut for 'select -module <modname>'.


    cd <cellname>

When no module with the specified name is found, but there is a cell
with the specified name in the current module, then this is equivialent
to 'cd <celltype>'.

    cd ..

This is just a shortcut for 'select -clear'.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{clean -- remove unused cells and wires}
\label{cmd:clean}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    clean [options] [selection]

This is identical to 'opt_clean', but less verbose.

When commands are separated using the ';;' token, this command will be executed
between the commands.

When commands are separated using the ';;;' token, this command will be executed
in -purge mode between the commands.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{connect -- create or remove connections}
\label{cmd:connect}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    connect [-nomap] [-nounset] -set <lhs-expr> <rhs-expr>

Create a connection. This is equivialent to adding the statement 'assign
<lhs-expr> = <rhs-expr>;' to the verilog input. Per default, all existing
drivers for <lhs-expr> are unconnected. This can be overwritten by using
the -nounset option.


    connect [-nomap] -unset <expr>

Unconnect all existing drivers for the specified expression.


    connect [-nomap] -port <cell> <port> <expr>

Connect the specified cell port to the specified cell port.


Per default signal alias names are resolved and all signal names are mapped
the the signal name of the primary driver. Using the -nomap option deactivates
this behavior.

The connect command operates in one module only. Either only one module must
be selected or an active module must be set using the 'cd' command.

This command does not operate on module with processes.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{connwrappers -- replace undef values with defined constants}
\label{cmd:connwrappers}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    connwrappers [options] [selection]

Wrappers are used in coarse-grain synthesis to wrap cells with smaller ports
in wrapper cells with a (larger) constant port size. I.e. the upper bits
of the wrapper outut are signed/unsigned bit extended. This command uses this
knowlege to rewire the inputs of the driven cells to match the output of
the driving cell.

    -signed <cell_type> <port_name> <width_param>
    -unsigned <cell_type> <port_name> <width_param>
        consider the specified signed/unsigned wrapper output

    -port <cell_type> <port_name> <width_param> <sign_param>
        use the specified parameter to decide if signed or unsigned

The options -signed, -unsigned, and -port can be specified multiple times.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{copy -- copy modules in the design}
\label{cmd:copy}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    copy old_name new_name

Copy the specified module. Note that selection patterns are not supported
by this command.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{cover -- print code coverage counters}
\label{cmd:cover}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    cover [options] [pattern]

Print the code coverage counters collected using the cover() macro in the Yosys
C++ code. This is useful to figure out what parts of Yosys are utilized by a
test bench.

    -q
        Do not print output to the normal destination (console and/or log file)

    -o file
        Write output to this file, truncate if exists.

    -a file
        Write output to this file, append if exists.

    -d dir
        Write output to a newly created file in the specified directory.

When one or more pattern (shell wildcards) are specified, then only counters
matching at least one pattern are printed.


It is also possible to instruct Yosys to print the coverage counters on program
exit to a file using environment variables:

    YOSYS_COVER_DIR="{dir-name}" yosys {args}

        This will create a file (with an auto-generated name) in this
        directory and write the coverage counters to it.

    YOSYS_COVER_FILE="{file-name}" yosys {args}

        This will append the coverage counters to the specified file.


Hint: Use the following AWK command to consolidate Yosys coverage files:

    gawk '{ p[$3] = $1; c[$3] += $2; } END { for (i in p)
      printf "%-60s %10d %s\n", p[i], c[i], i; }' {files} | sort -k3


Coverage counters are only available in debug builds of Yosys for Linux.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{delete -- delete objects in the design}
\label{cmd:delete}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    delete [selection]

Deletes the selected objects. This will also remove entire modules, if the
whole module is selected.


    delete {-input|-output|-port} [selection]

Does not delete any object but removes the input and/or output flag on the
selected wires, thus 'deleting' module ports.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{design -- save, restore and reset current design}
\label{cmd:design}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    design -reset

Clear the current design.


    design -save <name>

Save the current design under the given name.


    design -stash <name>

Save the current design under the given name and then clear the current design.


    design -push

Push the current design to the stack and then clear the current design.


    design -pop

Reset the current design and pop the last design from the stack.


    design -load <name>

Reset the current design and load the design previously saved under the given
name.


    design -copy-from <name> [-as <new_mod_name>] <selection>

Copy modules from the specified design into the current one. The selection is
evaluated in the other design.


    design -copy-to <name> [-as <new_mod_name>] [selection]

Copy modules from the current design into the soecified one.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{dfflibmap -- technology mapping of flip-flops}
\label{cmd:dfflibmap}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    dfflibmap -liberty <file> [selection]

Map internal flip-flop cells to the flip-flop cells in the technology
library specified in the given liberty file.

This pass may add inverters as needed. Therefore it is recommended to
first run this pass and then map the logic paths to the target technology.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{dump -- print parts of the design in ilang format}
\label{cmd:dump}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    dump [options] [selection]

Write the selected parts of the design to the console or specified file in
ilang format.

    -m
        also dump the module headers, even if only parts of a single
        module is selected

    -n
        only dump the module headers if the entire module is selected

    -outfile <filename>
        write to the specified file.

    -append <filename>
        like -outfile but append instead of overwrite
\end{lstlisting}

\section{echo -- turning echoing back of commands on and off}
\label{cmd:echo}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    echo on

Print all commands to log before executing them.


    echo off

Do not print all commands to log before executing them. (default)
\end{lstlisting}

\section{eval -- evaluate the circuit given an input}
\label{cmd:eval}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    eval [options] [selection]

This command evaluates the value of a signal given the value of all required
inputs.

    -set <signal> <value>
        set the specified signal to the specified value.

    -set-undef
        set all unspecified source signals to undef (x)

    -table <signal>
        create a truth table using the specified input signals

    -show <signal>
        show the value for the specified signal. if no -show option is passed
        then all output ports of the current module are used.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{expose -- convert internal signals to module ports}
\label{cmd:expose}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    expose [options] [selection]

This command exposes all selected internal signals of a module as additional
outputs.

    -dff
        only consider wires that are directly driven by register cell.

    -cut
        when exposing a wire, create an input/output pair and cut the internal
        signal path at that wire.

    -shared
        only expose those signals that are shared ammong the selected modules.
        this is useful for preparing modules for equivialence checking.

    -evert
        also turn connections to instances of other modules to additional
        inputs and outputs and remove the module instances.

    -evert-dff
        turn flip-flops to sets of inputs and outputs.

    -sep <separator>
        when creating new wire/port names, the original object name is suffixed
        with this separator (default: '.') and the port name or a type
        designator for the exposed signal.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{extract -- find subcircuits and replace them with cells}
\label{cmd:extract}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    extract -map <map_file> [options] [selection]
    extract -mine <out_file> [options] [selection]

This pass looks for subcircuits that are isomorphic to any of the modules
in the given map file and replaces them with instances of this modules. The
map file can be a verilog source file (*.v) or an ilang file (*.il).

    -map <map_file>
        use the modules in this file as reference. This option can be used
        multiple times.

    -map %<design-name>
        use the modules in this in-memory design as reference. This option can
        be used multiple times.

    -verbose
        print debug output while analyzing

    -constports
        also find instances with constant drivers. this may be much
        slower than the normal operation.

    -nodefaultswaps
        normally builtin port swapping rules for internal cells are used per
        default. This turns that off, so e.g. 'a^b' does not match 'b^a'
        when this option is used.

    -compat <needle_type> <haystack_type>
        Per default, the cells in the map file (needle) must have the
        type as the cells in the active design (haystack). This option
        can be used to register additional pairs of types that should
        match. This option can be used multiple times.

    -swap <needle_type> <port1>,<port2>[,...]
        Register a set of swapable ports for a needle cell type.
        This option can be used multiple times.

    -perm <needle_type> <port1>,<port2>[,...] <portA>,<portB>[,...]
        Register a valid permutation of swapable ports for a needle
        cell type. This option can be used multiple times.

    -cell_attr <attribute_name>
        Attributes on cells with the given name must match.

    -wire_attr <attribute_name>
        Attributes on wires with the given name must match.

    -ignore_parameters
        Do not use parameters when matching cells.

    -ignore_param <cell_type> <parameter_name>
        Do not use this parameter when matching cells.

This pass does not operate on modules with uprocessed processes in it.
(I.e. the 'proc' pass should be used first to convert processes to netlists.)

This pass can also be used for mining for frequent subcircuits. In this mode
the following options are to be used instead of the -map option.

    -mine <out_file>
        mine for frequent subcircuits and write them to the given ilang file

    -mine_cells_span <min> <max>
        only mine for subcircuits with the specified number of cells
        default value: 3 5

    -mine_min_freq <num>
        only mine for subcircuits with at least the specified number of matches
        default value: 10

    -mine_limit_matches_per_module <num>
        when calculating the number of matches for a subcircuit, don't count
        more than the specified number of matches per module

    -mine_max_fanout <num>
        don't consider internal signals with more than <num> connections

The modules in the map file may have the attribute 'extract_order' set to an
integer value. Then this value is used to determine the order in which the pass
tries to map the modules to the design (ascending, default value is 0).

See 'help techmap' for a pass that does the opposite thing.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{flatten -- flatten design}
\label{cmd:flatten}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    flatten [selection]

This pass flattens the design by replacing cells by their implementation. This
pass is very simmilar to the 'techmap' pass. The only difference is that this
pass is using the current design as mapping library.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{freduce -- perform functional reduction}
\label{cmd:freduce}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    freduce [options] [selection]

This pass performs functional reduction in the circuit. I.e. if two nodes are
equivialent, they are merged to one node and one of the redundant drivers is
disconnected. A subsequent call to 'clean' will remove the redundant drivers.

    -v, -vv
        enable verbose or very verbose output

    -inv
        enable explicit handling of inverted signals

    -stop <n>
        stop after <n> reduction operations. this is mostly used for
        debugging the freduce command itself.

    -dump <prefix>
        dump the design to <prefix>_<module>_<num>.il after each reduction
        operation. this is mostly used for debugging the freduce command.

This pass is undef-aware, i.e. it considers don't-care values for detecting
equivialent nodes.

All selected wires are considered for rewiring. The selected cells cover the
circuit that is analyzed.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{fsm -- extract and optimize finite state machines}
\label{cmd:fsm}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    fsm [options] [selection]

This pass calls all the other fsm_* passes in a useful order. This performs
FSM extraction and optimiziation. It also calls opt_clean as needed:

    fsm_detect          unless got option -nodetect
    fsm_extract

    fsm_opt
    opt_clean
    fsm_opt

    fsm_expand          if got option -expand
    opt_clean           if got option -expand
    fsm_opt             if got option -expand

    fsm_recode          unless got option -norecode

    fsm_info

    fsm_export          if got option -export
    fsm_map             unless got option -nomap

Options:

    -expand, -norecode, -export, -nomap
        enable or disable passes as indicated above

    -encoding tye
    -fm_set_fsm_file file
        passed through to fsm_recode pass
\end{lstlisting}

\section{fsm\_detect -- finding FSMs in design}
\label{cmd:fsm_detect}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    fsm_detect [selection]

This pass detects finite state machines by identifying the state signal.
The state signal is then marked by setting the attribute 'fsm_encoding'
on the state signal to "auto".

Existing 'fsm_encoding' attributes are not changed by this pass.

Signals can be protected from being detected by this pass by setting the
'fsm_encoding' attribute to "none".
\end{lstlisting}

\section{fsm\_expand -- expand FSM cells by merging logic into it}
\label{cmd:fsm_expand}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    fsm_expand [selection]

The fsm_extract pass is conservative about the cells that belong to a finite
state machine. This pass can be used to merge additional auxiliary gates into
the finate state machine.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{fsm\_export -- exporting FSMs to KISS2 files}
\label{cmd:fsm_export}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    fsm_export [-noauto] [-o filename] [-origenc] [selection]

This pass creates a KISS2 file for every selected FSM. For FSMs with the
'fsm_export' attribute set, the attribute value is used as filename, otherwise
the module and cell name is used as filename. If the parameter '-o' is given,
the first exported FSM is written to the specified filename. This overwrites
the setting as specified with the 'fsm_export' attribute. All other FSMs are
exported to the default name as mentioned above.

    -noauto
        only export FSMs that have the 'fsm_export' attribute set

    -o filename
        filename of the first exported FSM

    -origenc
        use binary state encoding as state names instead of s0, s1, ...
\end{lstlisting}

\section{fsm\_extract -- extracting FSMs in design}
\label{cmd:fsm_extract}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    fsm_extract [selection]

This pass operates on all signals marked as FSM state signals using the
'fsm_encoding' attribute. It consumes the logic that creates the state signal
and uses the state signal to generate control signal and replaces it with an
FSM cell.

The generated FSM cell still generates the original state signal with its
original encoding. The 'fsm_opt' pass can be used in combination with the
'opt_clean' pass to eliminate this signal.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{fsm\_info -- print information on finite state machines}
\label{cmd:fsm_info}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    fsm_info [selection]

This pass dumps all internal information on FSM cells. It can be useful for
analyzing the synthesis process and is called automatically by the 'fsm'
pass so that this information is included in the synthesis log file.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{fsm\_map -- mapping FSMs to basic logic}
\label{cmd:fsm_map}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    fsm_map [selection]

This pass translates FSM cells to flip-flops and logic.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{fsm\_opt -- optimize finite state machines}
\label{cmd:fsm_opt}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    fsm_opt [selection]

This pass optimizes FSM cells. It detects which output signals are actually
not used and removes them from the FSM. This pass is usually used in
combination with the 'opt_clean' pass (see also 'help fsm').
\end{lstlisting}

\section{fsm\_recode -- recoding finite state machines}
\label{cmd:fsm_recode}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    fsm_recode [-encoding type] [-fm_set_fsm_file file] [selection]

This pass reassign the state encodings for FSM cells. At the moment only
one-hot encoding and binary encoding is supported. The option -encoding
can be used to specify the encoding scheme used for FSMs without the
`fsm_encoding' attribute (or with the attribute set to `auto'.

The option -fm_set_fsm_file can be used to generate a file containing the
mapping from old to new FSM encoding in form of Synopsys Formality set_fsm_*
commands.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{help -- display help messages}
\label{cmd:help}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    help  .............  list all commands
    help <command>  ...  print help message for given command
    help -all  ........  print complete command reference
\end{lstlisting}

\section{hierarchy -- check, expand and clean up design hierarchy}
\label{cmd:hierarchy}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    hierarchy [-check] [-top <module>]
    hierarchy -generate <cell-types> <port-decls>

In parametric designs, a module might exists in several variations with
different parameter values. This pass looks at all modules in the current
design an re-runs the language frontends for the parametric modules as
needed.

    -check
        also check the design hierarchy. this generates an error when
        an unknown module is used as cell type.

    -purge_lib
        by default the hierarchy command will not remove library (blackbox)
        module. use this options to also remove unused blackbox modules.

    -libdir <directory>
        search for files named <module_name>.v in the specified directory
        for unknown modules and automatically run read_verilog for each
        unknown module.

    -keep_positionals
        per default this pass also converts positional arguments in cells
        to arguments using port names. this option disables this behavior.

    -nokeep_asserts
        per default this pass sets the "keep" attribute on all modules
        that directly or indirectly contain one or more $assert cells. this
        option disables this behavior.

    -top <module>
        use the specified top module to built a design hierarchy. modules
        outside this tree (unused modules) are removed.

        when the -top option is used, the 'top' attribute will be set on the
        specified top module. otherwise a module with the 'top' attribute set
        will implicitly be used as top module, if such a module exists.

In -generate mode this pass generates blackbox modules for the given cell
types (wildcards supported). For this the design is searched for cells that
match the given types and then the given port declarations are used to
determine the direction of the ports. The syntax for a port declaration is:

    {i|o|io}[@<num>]:<portname>

Input ports are specified with the 'i' prefix, output ports with the 'o'
prefix and inout ports with the 'io' prefix. The optional <num> specifies
the position of the port in the parameter list (needed when instanciated
using positional arguments). When <num> is not specified, the <portname> can
also contain wildcard characters.

This pass ignores the current selection and always operates on all modules
in the current design.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{hilomap -- technology mapping of constant hi- and/or lo-drivers}
\label{cmd:hilomap}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    hilomap [options] [selection]

Map constants to 'tielo' and 'tiehi' driver cells.

    -hicell <celltype> <portname>
        Replace constant hi bits with this cell.

    -locell <celltype> <portname>
        Replace constant lo bits with this cell.

    -singleton
        Create only one hi/lo cell and connect all constant bits
        to that cell. Per default a separate cell is created for
        each constant bit.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{history -- show last interactive commands}
\label{cmd:history}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    history

This command prints all commands in the shell history buffer. This are
all commands executed in an interactive session, but not the commands
from executed scripts.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{iopadmap -- technology mapping of i/o pads (or buffers)}
\label{cmd:iopadmap}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    iopadmap [options] [selection]

Map module inputs/outputs to PAD cells from a library. This pass
can only map to very simple PAD cells. Use 'techmap' to further map
the resulting cells to more sophisticated PAD cells.

    -inpad <celltype> <portname>[:<portname>]
        Map module input ports to the given cell type with
        the given port name. if a 2nd portname is given, the
        signal is passed through the pad call, using the 2nd
        portname as output.

    -outpad <celltype> <portname>[:<portname>]
    -inoutpad <celltype> <portname>[:<portname>]
        Similar to -inpad, but for output and inout ports.

    -widthparam <param_name>
        Use the specified parameter name to set the port width.

    -nameparam <param_name>
        Use the specified parameter to set the port name.

    -bits
        create individual bit-wide buffers even for ports that
        are wider. (the default behavio is to create word-wide
        buffers use -widthparam to set the word size on the cell.)
\end{lstlisting}

\section{log -- print text and log files}
\label{cmd:log}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    log string

Print the given string to the screen and/or the log file. This is useful for TCL
scripts, because the TCL command "puts" only goes to stdout but not to
logfiles.

    -stdout
        Print the output to stdout too. This is useful when all Yosys is executed
        with a script and the -q (quiet operation) argument to notify the user.

    -stderr
        Print the output to stderr too.

    -nolog
        Don't use the internal log() command. Use either -stdout or -stderr,
        otherwise no output will be generated at all.

    -n
        do not append a newline
\end{lstlisting}

\section{ls -- list modules or objects in modules}
\label{cmd:ls}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    ls [pattern]

When no active module is selected, this prints a list of all modules.

When an active module is selected, this prints a list of objects in the module.

If a pattern is given, the objects matching the pattern are printed

Note that this command does not use the selection mechanism and always operates
on the whole design or whole active module. Use 'select -list' to show a list
of currently selected objects.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{maccmap -- mapping macc cells}
\label{cmd:maccmap}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    maccmap [-unmap] [selection]

This pass maps $macc cells to yosys gate primitives. When the -unmap option is
used then the $macc cell is mapped to $and, $sub, etc. cells instead.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{memory -- translate memories to basic cells}
\label{cmd:memory}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    memory [-nomap] [selection]

This pass calls all the other memory_* passes in a useful order:

    memory_dff
    opt_clean
    memory_share
    opt_clean
    memory_collect
    memory_map          (skipped if called with -nomap)

This converts memories to word-wide DFFs and address decoders
or multiport memory blocks if called with the -nomap option.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{memory\_collect -- creating multi-port memory cells}
\label{cmd:memory_collect}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    memory_collect [selection]

This pass collects memories and memory ports and creates generic multiport
memory cells.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{memory\_dff -- merge input/output DFFs into memories}
\label{cmd:memory_dff}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    memory_dff [options] [selection]

This pass detects DFFs at memory ports and merges them into the memory port.
I.e. it consumes an asynchronous memory port and the flip-flops at its
interface and yields a synchronous memory port.

    -wr_only
        do not merge registers on read ports
\end{lstlisting}

\section{memory\_map -- translate multiport memories to basic cells}
\label{cmd:memory_map}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    memory_map [selection]

This pass converts multiport memory cells as generated by the memory_collect
pass to word-wide DFFs and address decoders.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{memory\_share -- consolidate memory ports}
\label{cmd:memory_share}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    memory_share [selection]

This pass merges share-able memory ports into single memory ports.

The following methods are used to consolidate the number of memory ports:

  - When write ports are connected to async read ports accessing the same
    address, then this feedback path is converted to a write port with
    byte/part enable signals.

  - When multiple write ports access the same address then this is converted
    to a single write port with a more complex data and/or enable logic path.

  - When multiple write ports are never accessed at the same time (a SAT
    solver is used to determine this), then the ports are merged into a single
    write port.

Note that in addition to the algorithms implemented in this pass, the $memrd
and $memwr cells are also subject to generic resource sharing passes (and other
optimizations) such as opt_share.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{memory\_unpack -- unpack multi-port memory cells}
\label{cmd:memory_unpack}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    memory_unpack [selection]

This pass converts the multi-port $mem memory cells into individual $memrd and
$memwr cells. It is the counterpart to the memory_collect pass.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{miter -- automatically create a miter circuit}
\label{cmd:miter}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    miter -equiv [options] gold_name gate_name miter_name

Creates a miter circuit for equivialence checking. The gold- and gate- modules
must have the same interfaces. The miter circuit will have all inputs of the
two source modules, prefixed with 'in_'. The miter circuit has a 'trigger'
output that goes high if an output mismatch between the two source modules is
detected.

    -ignore_gold_x
        a undef (x) bit in the gold module output will match any value in
        the gate module output.

    -make_outputs
        also route the gold- and gate-outputs to 'gold_*' and 'gate_*' outputs
        on the miter circuit.

    -make_outcmp
        also create a cmp_* output for each gold/gate output pair.

    -make_assert
        also create an 'assert' cell that checks if trigger is always low.

    -flatten
        call 'flatten; opt_const -keepdc -undriven;;' on the miter circuit.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{opt -- perform simple optimizations}
\label{cmd:opt}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    opt [options] [selection]

This pass calls all the other opt_* passes in a useful order. This performs
a series of trivial optimizations and cleanups. This pass executes the other
passes in the following order:

    opt_const [-mux_undef] [-mux_bool] [-undriven] [-fine] [-full] [-keepdc]
    opt_share -nomux

    do
        opt_muxtree
        opt_reduce [-fine] [-full]
        opt_share
        opt_rmdff
        opt_clean [-purge]
        opt_const [-mux_undef] [-mux_bool] [-undriven] [-fine] [-full] [-keepdc]
    while <changed design>

When called with -fast the following script is used instead:

    do
        opt_const [-mux_undef] [-mux_bool] [-undriven] [-fine] [-full] [-keepdc]
        opt_share
        opt_rmdff
        opt_clean [-purge]
    while <changed design in opt_rmdff>

Note: Options in square brackets (such as [-keepdc]) are passed through to
the opt_* commands when given to 'opt'.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{opt\_clean -- remove unused cells and wires}
\label{cmd:opt_clean}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    opt_clean [options] [selection]

This pass identifies wires and cells that are unused and removes them. Other
passes often remove cells but leave the wires in the design or reconnect the
wires but leave the old cells in the design. This pass can be used to clean up
after the passes that do the actual work.

This pass only operates on completely selected modules without processes.

    -purge
        also remove internal nets if they have a public name
\end{lstlisting}

\section{opt\_const -- perform const folding}
\label{cmd:opt_const}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    opt_const [options] [selection]

This pass performs const folding on internal cell types with constant inputs.

    -mux_undef
        remove 'undef' inputs from $mux, $pmux and $_MUX_ cells

    -mux_bool
        replace $mux cells with inverters or buffers when possible

    -undriven
        replace undriven nets with undef (x) constants

    -fine
        perform fine-grain optimizations

    -full
        alias for -mux_undef -mux_bool -undriven -fine

    -keepdc
        some optimizations change the behavior of the circuit with respect to
        don't-care bits. for example in 'a+0' a single x-bit in 'a' will cause
        all result bits to be set to x. this behavior changes when 'a+0' is
        replaced by 'a'. the -keepdc option disables all such optimizations.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{opt\_muxtree -- eliminate dead trees in multiplexer trees}
\label{cmd:opt_muxtree}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    opt_muxtree [selection]

This pass analyzes the control signals for the multiplexer trees in the design
and identifies inputs that can never be active. It then removes this dead
branches from the multiplexer trees.

This pass only operates on completely selected modules without processes.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{opt\_reduce -- simplify large MUXes and AND/OR gates}
\label{cmd:opt_reduce}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    opt_reduce [options] [selection]

This pass performs two interlinked optimizations:

1. it consolidates trees of large AND gates or OR gates and eliminates
duplicated inputs.

2. it identifies duplicated inputs to MUXes and replaces them with a single
input with the original control signals OR'ed together.

    -fine
      perform fine-grain optimizations

    -full
      alias for -fine
\end{lstlisting}

\section{opt\_rmdff -- remove DFFs with constant inputs}
\label{cmd:opt_rmdff}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    opt_rmdff [selection]

This pass identifies flip-flops with constant inputs and replaces them with
a constant driver.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{opt\_share -- consolidate identical cells}
\label{cmd:opt_share}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    opt_share [-nomux] [selection]

This pass identifies cells with identical type and input signals. Such cells
are then merged to one cell.

    -nomux
        Do not merge MUX cells.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{plugin -- load and list loaded plugins}
\label{cmd:plugin}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    plugin [options]

Load and list loaded plugins.

    -i <plugin_filename>
        Load (install) the specified plugin.

    -a <alias_name>
        Register the specified alias name for the loaded plugin

    -l
        List loaded plugins
\end{lstlisting}

\section{proc -- translate processes to netlists}
\label{cmd:proc}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    proc [options] [selection]

This pass calls all the other proc_* passes in the most common order.

    proc_clean
    proc_rmdead
    proc_init
    proc_arst
    proc_mux
    proc_dff
    proc_clean

This replaces the processes in the design with multiplexers and flip-flops.

The following options are supported:

    -global_arst [!]<netname>
        This option is passed through to proc_arst.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{proc\_arst -- detect asynchronous resets}
\label{cmd:proc_arst}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    proc_arst [-global_arst [!]<netname>] [selection]

This pass identifies asynchronous resets in the processes and converts them
to a different internal representation that is suitable for generating
flip-flop cells with asynchronous resets.

    -global_arst [!]<netname>
        In modules that have a net with the given name, use this net as async
        reset for registers that have been assign initial values in their
        declaration ('reg foobar = constant_value;'). Use the '!' modifier for
        active low reset signals. Note: the frontend stores the default value
        in the 'init' attribute on the net.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{proc\_clean -- remove empty parts of processes}
\label{cmd:proc_clean}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    proc_clean [selection]

This pass removes empty parts of processes and ultimately removes a process
if it contains only empty structures.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{proc\_dff -- extract flip-flops from processes}
\label{cmd:proc_dff}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    proc_dff [selection]

This pass identifies flip-flops in the processes and converts them to
d-type flip-flop cells.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{proc\_init -- convert initial block to init attributes}
\label{cmd:proc_init}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    proc_init [selection]

This pass extracts the 'init' actions from processes (generated from verilog
'initial' blocks) and sets the initial value to the 'init' attribute on the
respective wire.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{proc\_mux -- convert decision trees to multiplexers}
\label{cmd:proc_mux}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    proc_mux [selection]

This pass converts the decision trees in processes (originating from if-else
and case statements) to trees of multiplexer cells.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{proc\_rmdead -- eliminate dead trees in decision trees}
\label{cmd:proc_rmdead}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    proc_rmdead [selection]

This pass identifies unreachable branches in decision trees and removes them.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{read\_ilang -- read modules from ilang file}
\label{cmd:read_ilang}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    read_ilang [filename]

Load modules from an ilang file to the current design. (ilang is a text
representation of a design in yosys's internal format.)
\end{lstlisting}

\section{read\_liberty -- read cells from liberty file}
\label{cmd:read_liberty}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    read_liberty [filename]

Read cells from liberty file as modules into current design.

    -lib
        only create empty blackbox modules

    -ignore_redef
        ignore re-definitions of modules. (the default behavior is to
        create an error message.)

    -ignore_miss_func
        ignore cells with missing function specification of outputs

    -ignore_miss_dir
        ignore cells with a missing or invalid direction
        specification on a pin

    -setattr <attribute_name>
        set the specified attribute (to the value 1) on all loaded modules
\end{lstlisting}

\section{read\_verilog -- read modules from verilog file}
\label{cmd:read_verilog}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    read_verilog [options] [filename]

Load modules from a verilog file to the current design. A large subset of
Verilog-2005 is supported.

    -sv
        enable support for SystemVerilog features. (only a small subset
        of SystemVerilog is supported)

    -dump_ast1
        dump abstract syntax tree (before simplification)

    -dump_ast2
        dump abstract syntax tree (after simplification)

    -dump_vlog
        dump ast as verilog code (after simplification)

    -yydebug
        enable parser debug output

    -nolatches
        usually latches are synthesized into logic loops
        this option prohibits this and sets the output to 'x'
        in what would be the latches hold condition

        this behavior can also be achieved by setting the
        'nolatches' attribute on the respective module or
        always block.

    -nomem2reg
        under certain conditions memories are converted to registers
        early during simplification to ensure correct handling of
        complex corner cases. this option disables this behavior.

        this can also be achieved by setting the 'nomem2reg'
        attribute on the respective module or register.

    -mem2reg
        always convert memories to registers. this can also be
        achieved by setting the 'mem2reg' attribute on the respective
        module or register.

    -ppdump
        dump verilog code after pre-processor

    -nopp
        do not run the pre-processor

    -lib
        only create empty blackbox modules

    -noopt
        don't perform basic optimizations (such as const folding) in the
        high-level front-end.

    -icells
        interpret cell types starting with '$' as internal cell types

    -ignore_redef
        ignore re-definitions of modules. (the default behavior is to
        create an error message.)

    -defer
        only read the abstract syntax tree and defer actual compilation
        to a later 'hierarchy' command. Useful in cases where the default
        parameters of modules yield invalid or not synthesizable code.

    -setattr <attribute_name>
        set the specified attribute (to the value 1) on all loaded modules

    -Dname[=definition]
        define the preprocessor symbol 'name' and set its optional value
        'definition'

    -Idir
        add 'dir' to the directories which are used when searching include
        files

The command 'verilog_defaults' can be used to register default options for
subsequent calls to 'read_verilog'.

Note that the Verilog frontend does a pretty good job of processing valid
verilog input, but has not very good error reporting. It generally is
recommended to use a simulator (for example icarus verilog) for checking
the syntax of the code, rather than to rely on read_verilog for that.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{rename -- rename object in the design}
\label{cmd:rename}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    rename old_name new_name

Rename the specified object. Note that selection patterns are not supported
by this command.


    rename -enumerate [-pattern <pattern>] [selection]

Assign short auto-generated names to all selected wires and cells with private
names. The -pattern option can be used to set the pattern for the new names.
The character % in the pattern is replaced with a integer number. The default
pattern is '_%_'.

    rename -hide [selection]

Assign private names (the ones with $-prefix) to all selected wires and cells
with public names. This ignores all selected ports.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{sat -- solve a SAT problem in the circuit}
\label{cmd:sat}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    sat [options] [selection]

This command solves a SAT problem defined over the currently selected circuit
and additional constraints passed as parameters.

    -all
        show all solutions to the problem (this can grow exponentially, use
        -max <N> instead to get <N> solutions)

    -max <N>
        like -all, but limit number of solutions to <N>

    -enable_undef
        enable modeling of undef value (aka 'x-bits')
        this option is implied by -set-def, -set-undef et. cetera

    -max_undef
        maximize the number of undef bits in solutions, giving a better
        picture of which input bits are actually vital to the solution.

    -set <signal> <value>
        set the specified signal to the specified value.

    -set-def <signal>
        add a constraint that all bits of the given signal must be defined

    -set-any-undef <signal>
        add a constraint that at least one bit of the given signal is undefined

    -set-all-undef <signal>
        add a constraint that all bits of the given signal are undefined

    -set-def-inputs
        add -set-def constraints for all module inputs

    -show <signal>
        show the model for the specified signal. if no -show option is
        passed then a set of signals to be shown is automatically selected.

    -show-inputs, -show-outputs
        add all module input (output) ports to the list of shown signals

    -ignore_div_by_zero
        ignore all solutions that involve a division by zero

    -ignore_unknown_cells
        ignore all cells that can not be matched to a SAT model

The following options can be used to set up a sequential problem:

    -seq <N>
        set up a sequential problem with <N> time steps. The steps will
        be numbered from 1 to N.

    -set-at <N> <signal> <value>
    -unset-at <N> <signal>
        set or unset the specified signal to the specified value in the
        given timestep. this has priority over a -set for the same signal.

    -set-def-at <N> <signal>
    -set-any-undef-at <N> <signal>
    -set-all-undef-at <N> <signal>
        add undef constraints in the given timestep.

    -set-init <signal> <value>
        set the initial value for the register driving the signal to the value

    -set-init-undef
        set all initial states (not set using -set-init) to undef

    -set-init-def
        do not force a value for the initial state but do not allow undef

    -set-init-zero
        set all initial states (not set using -set-init) to zero

    -dump_vcd <vcd-file-name>
        dump SAT model (counter example in proof) to VCD file

    -dump_cnf <cnf-file-name>
        dump CNF of SAT problem (in DIMACS format). in temporal induction
        proofs this is the CNF of the first induction step.

The following additional options can be used to set up a proof. If also -seq
is passed, a temporal induction proof is performed.

    -tempinduct
        Perform a temporal induction proof. In a temporalinduction proof it is
        proven that the condition holds forever after the number of time steps
        specified using -seq.

    -tempinduct-def
        Perform a temporal induction proof. Assume an initial state with all
        registers set to defined values for the induction step.

    -prove <signal> <value>
        Attempt to proof that <signal> is always <value>.

    -prove-x <signal> <value>
        Like -prove, but an undef (x) bit in the lhs matches any value on
        the right hand side. Useful for equivialence checking.

    -prove-asserts
        Prove that all asserts in the design hold.

    -prove-skip <N>
        Do not enforce the prove-condition for the first <N> time steps.

        Set a maximum length for the induction.

    -initsteps <N>
        Set initial length for the induction.

    -timeout <N>
        Maximum number of seconds a single SAT instance may take.

    -verify
        Return an error and stop the synthesis script if the proof fails.

    -verify-no-timeout
        Like -verify but do not return an error for timeouts.

    -falsify
        Return an error and stop the synthesis script if the proof succeeds.

    -falsify-no-timeout
        Like -falsify but do not return an error for timeouts.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{scatter -- add additional intermediate nets}
\label{cmd:scatter}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    scatter [selection]

This command adds additional intermediate nets on all cell ports. This is used
for testing the correct use of the SigMap helper in passes. If you don't know
what this means: don't worry -- you only need this pass when testing your own
extensions to Yosys.

Use the opt_clean command to get rid of the additional nets.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{scc -- detect strongly connected components (logic loops)}
\label{cmd:scc}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    scc [options] [selection]

This command identifies strongly connected components (aka logic loops) in the
design.

    -max_depth <num>
        limit to loops not longer than the specified number of cells. This can
        e.g. be useful in identifying local loops in a module that turns out
        to be one gigantic SCC.

    -all_cell_types
        Usually this command only considers internal non-memory cells. With
        this option set, all cells are considered. For unknown cells all ports
        are assumed to be bidirectional 'inout' ports.

    -set_attr <name> <value>
    -set_cell_attr <name> <value>
    -set_wire_attr <name> <value>
        set the specified attribute on all cells and/or wires that are part of
        a logic loop. the special token {} in the value is replaced with a
        unique identifier for the logic loop.

    -select
        replace the current selection with a selection of all cells and wires
        that are part of a found logic loop
\end{lstlisting}

\section{script -- execute commands from script file}
\label{cmd:script}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    script <filename> [<from_label>:<to_label>]

This command executes the yosys commands in the specified file.

The 2nd argument can be used to only execute the section of the
file between the specified labels. An empty from label is synonymous
for the beginning of the file and an empty to label is synonymous
for the end of the file.

If only one label is specified (without ':') then only the block
marked with that label (until the next label) is executed.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{select -- modify and view the list of selected objects}
\label{cmd:select}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    select [ -add | -del | -set <name> ] <selection>
    select [ -assert-none | -assert-any ] <selection>
    select [ -list | -write <filename> | -count | -clear ]
    select -module <modname>

Most commands use the list of currently selected objects to determine which part
of the design to operate on. This command can be used to modify and view this
list of selected objects.

Note that many commands support an optional [selection] argument that can be
used to override the global selection for the command. The syntax of this
optional argument is identical to the syntax of the <selection> argument
described here.

    -add, -del
        add or remove the given objects to the current selection.
        without this options the current selection is replaced.

    -set <name>
        do not modify the current selection. instead save the new selection
        under the given name (see @<name> below). to save the current selection,
        use "select -set <name> %"

    -assert-none
        do not modify the current selection. instead assert that the given
        selection is empty. i.e. produce an error if any object matching the
        selection is found.

    -assert-any
        do not modify the current selection. instead assert that the given
        selection is non-empty. i.e. produce an error if no object matching
        the selection is found.

    -assert-count N
        do not modify the current selection. instead assert that the given
        selection contains exactly N objects.

    -list
        list all objects in the current selection

    -write <filename>
        like -list but write the output to the specified file

    -count
        count all objects in the current selection

    -clear
        clear the current selection. this effectively selects the whole
        design. it also resets the selected module (see -module). use the
        command 'select *' to select everything but stay in the current module.

    -none
        create an empty selection. the current module is unchanged.

    -module <modname>
        limit the current scope to the specified module.
        the difference between this and simply selecting the module
        is that all object names are interpreted relative to this
        module after this command until the selection is cleared again.

When this command is called without an argument, the current selection
is displayed in a compact form (i.e. only the module name when a whole module
is selected).

The <selection> argument itself is a series of commands for a simple stack
machine. Each element on the stack represents a set of selected objects.
After this commands have been executed, the union of all remaining sets
on the stack is computed and used as selection for the command.

Pushing (selecting) object when not in -module mode:

    <mod_pattern>
        select the specified module(s)

    <mod_pattern>/<obj_pattern>
        select the specified object(s) from the module(s)

Pushing (selecting) object when in -module mode:

    <obj_pattern>
        select the specified object(s) from the current module

A <mod_pattern> can be a module name, wildcard expression (*, ?, [..])
matching module names, or one of the following:

    A:<pattern>, A:<pattern>=<pattern>
        all modules with an attribute matching the given pattern
        in addition to = also <, <=, >=, and > are supported

An <obj_pattern> can be an object name, wildcard expression, or one of
the following:

    w:<pattern>
        all wires with a name matching the given wildcard pattern

    i:<pattern>, o:<pattern>, x:<pattern>
        all inputs (i:), outputs (o:) or any ports (x:) with matching names

    s:<size>, s:<min>:<max>
        all wires with a matching width

    m:<pattern>
        all memories with a name matching the given pattern

    c:<pattern>
        all cells with a name matching the given pattern

    t:<pattern>
        all cells with a type matching the given pattern

    p:<pattern>
        all processes with a name matching the given pattern

    a:<pattern>
        all objects with an attribute name matching the given pattern

    a:<pattern>=<pattern>
        all objects with a matching attribute name-value-pair.
        in addition to = also <, <=, >=, and > are supported

    r:<pattern>, r:<pattern>=<pattern>
        cells with matching parameters. also with <, <=, >= and >.

    n:<pattern>
        all objects with a name matching the given pattern
        (i.e. 'n:' is optional as it is the default matching rule)

    @<name>
        push the selection saved prior with 'select -set <name> ...'

The following actions can be performed on the top sets on the stack:

    %
        push a copy of the current selection to the stack

    %%
        replace the stack with a union of all elements on it

    %n
        replace top set with its invert

    %u
        replace the two top sets on the stack with their union

    %i
        replace the two top sets on the stack with their intersection

    %d
        pop the top set from the stack and subtract it from the new top

    %D
        like %d but swap the roles of two top sets on the stack

    %c
        create a copy of the top set rom the stack and push it

    %x[<num1>|*][.<num2>][:<rule>[:<rule>..]]
        expand top set <num1> num times according to the specified rules.
        (i.e. select all cells connected to selected wires and select all
        wires connected to selected cells) The rules specify which cell
        ports to use for this. the syntax for a rule is a '-' for exclusion
        and a '+' for inclusion, followed by an optional comma separated
        list of cell types followed by an optional comma separated list of
        cell ports in square brackets. a rule can also be just a cell or wire
        name that limits the expansion (is included but does not go beyond).
        select at most <num2> objects. a warning message is printed when this
        limit is reached. When '*' is used instead of <num1> then the process
        is repeated until no further object are selected.

    %ci[<num1>|*][.<num2>][:<rule>[:<rule>..]]
    %co[<num1>|*][.<num2>][:<rule>[:<rule>..]]
        simmilar to %x, but only select input (%ci) or output cones (%co)

    %a
        expand top set by selecting all wires that are (at least in part)
        aliases for selected wires.

    %s
        expand top set by adding all modules of instantiated cells in selected
        modules

    %m
        expand top set by selecting all modules that contain selected objects

Example: the following command selects all wires that are connected to a
'GATE' input of a 'SWITCH' cell:

    select */t:SWITCH %x:+[GATE] */t:SWITCH %d
\end{lstlisting}

\section{setattr -- set/unset attributes on objects}
\label{cmd:setattr}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    setattr [ -mod ] [ -set name value | -unset name ]... [selection]

Set/unset the given attributes on the selected objects. String values must be
passed in double quotes (").

When called with -mod, this command will set and unset attributes on modules
instead of objects within modules.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{setparam -- set/unset parameters on objects}
\label{cmd:setparam}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    setparam [ -set name value | -unset name ]... [selection]

Set/unset the given parameters on the selected cells. String values must be
passed in double quotes (").
\end{lstlisting}

\section{setundef -- replace undef values with defined constants}
\label{cmd:setundef}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    setundef [options] [selection]

This command replaced undef (x) constants with defined (0/1) constants.

    -undriven
        also set undriven nets to constant values

    -zero
        replace with bits cleared (0)

    -one
        replace with bits set (1)

    -random <seed>
        replace with random bits using the specified integer als seed
        value for the random number generator.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{share -- perform sat-based resource sharing}
\label{cmd:share}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    share [options] [selection]

This pass merges shareable resources into a single resource. A SAT solver
is used to determine if two resources are share-able.

  -force
    Per default the selection of cells that is considered for sharing is
    narrowed using a list of cell types. With this option all selected
    cells are considered for resource sharing.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: If the -all option is used then no cells with internal
    state must be selected!

  -aggressive
    Per default some heuristics are used to reduce the number of cells
    considered for resource sharing to only large resources. This options
    turns this heuristics off, resulting in much more cells being considered
    for resource sharing.

  -fast
    Only consider the simple part of the control logic in SAT solving, resulting
    in much easier SAT problems at the cost of maybe missing some oportunities
    for resource sharing.

  -limit N
    Only perform the first N merges, then stop. This is useful for debugging.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{shell -- enter interactive command mode}
\label{cmd:shell}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    shell

This command enters the interactive command mode. This can be useful
in a script to interrupt the script at a certain point and allow for
interactive inspection or manual synthesis of the design at this point.

The command prompt of the interactive shell indicates the current
selection (see 'help select'):

    yosys>
        the entire design is selected

    yosys*>
        only part of the design is selected

    yosys [modname]>
        the entire module 'modname' is selected using 'select -module modname'

    yosys [modname]*>
        only part of current module 'modname' is selected

When in interactive shell, some errors (e.g. invalid command arguments)
do not terminate yosys but return to the command prompt.

This command is the default action if nothing else has been specified
on the command line.

Press Ctrl-D or type 'exit' to leave the interactive shell.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{show -- generate schematics using graphviz}
\label{cmd:show}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    show [options] [selection]

Create a graphviz DOT file for the selected part of the design and compile it
to a graphics file (usually SVG or PostScript).

    -viewer <viewer>
        Run the specified command with the graphics file as parameter.

    -format <format>
        Generate a graphics file in the specified format.
        Usually <format> is 'svg' or 'ps'.

    -lib <verilog_or_ilang_file>
        Use the specified library file for determining whether cell ports are
        inputs or outputs. This option can be used multiple times to specify
        more than one library.

    -prefix <prefix>
        generate <prefix>.* instead of ~/.yosys_show.*

    -color <color> <object>
        assign the specified color to the specified object. The object can be
        a single selection wildcard expressions or a saved set of objects in
        the @<name> syntax (see "help select" for details).

    -label <text> <object>
        assign the specified label text to the specified object. The object can
        be a single selection wildcard expressions or a saved set of objects in
        the @<name> syntax (see "help select" for details).

    -colors <seed>
        Randomly assign colors to the wires. The integer argument is the seed
        for the random number generator. Change the seed value if the colored
        graph still is ambigous. A seed of zero deactivates the coloring.

    -width
        annotate busses with a label indicating the width of the bus.

    -signed
        mark ports (A, B) that are declarted as signed (using the [AB]_SIGNED
        cell parameter) with an asterisk next to the port name.

    -stretch
        stretch the graph so all inputs are on the left side and all outputs
        (including inout ports) are on the right side.

    -pause
        wait for the use to press enter to before returning

    -enum
        enumerate objects with internal ($-prefixed) names

    -long
        do not abbeviate objects with internal ($-prefixed) names

    -notitle
        do not add the module name as graph title to the dot file

When no <format> is specified, 'dot' is used. When no <format> and <viewer> is
specified, 'xdot' is used to display the schematic.

The generated output files are '~/.yosys_show.dot' and '~/.yosys_show.<format>',
unless another prefix is specified using -prefix <prefix>.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{simplemap -- mapping simple coarse-grain cells}
\label{cmd:simplemap}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    simplemap [selection]

This pass maps a small selection of simple coarse-grain cells to yosys gate
primitives. The following internal cell types are mapped by this pass:

  $not, $pos, $and, $or, $xor, $xnor
  $reduce_and, $reduce_or, $reduce_xor, $reduce_xnor, $reduce_bool
  $logic_not, $logic_and, $logic_or, $mux
  $sr, $dff, $dffsr, $adff, $dlatch
\end{lstlisting}

\section{splice -- create explicit splicing cells}
\label{cmd:splice}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    splice [options] [selection]

This command adds $slice and $concat cells to the design to make the splicing
of multi-bit signals explicit. This for example is useful for coarse grain
synthesis, where dedidacted hardware is needed to splice signals.

    -sel_by_cell
        only select the cell ports to rewire by the cell. if the selection
        contains a cell, than all cell inputs are rewired, if necessary.

    -sel_by_wire
        only select the cell ports to rewire by the wire. if the selection
        contains a wire, than all cell ports driven by this wire are wired,
        if necessary.

    -sel_any_bit
        it is sufficient if the driver of any bit of a cell port is selected.
        by default all bits must be selected.

    -no_outputs
        do not rewire selected module outputs.

    -port <name>
        only rewire cell ports with the specified name. can be used multiple
        times. implies -no_output.

    -no_port <name>
        do not rewire cell ports with the specified name. can be used multiple
        times. can not be combined with -port <name>.

By default selected output wires and all cell ports of selected cells driven
by selected wires are rewired.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{splitnets -- split up multi-bit nets}
\label{cmd:splitnets}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    splitnets [options] [selection]

This command splits multi-bit nets into single-bit nets.

    -format char1[char2[char3]]
        the first char is inserted between the net name and the bit index, the
        second char is appended to the netname. e.g. -format () creates net
        names like 'mysignal(42)'. the 3rd character is the range separation
        character when creating multi-bit wires. the default is '[]:'.

    -ports
        also split module ports. per default only internal signals are split.

    -driver
        don't blindly split nets in individual bits. instead look at the driver
        and split nets so that no driver drives only part of a net.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{stat -- print some statistics}
\label{cmd:stat}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    stat [options] [selection]

Print some statistics (number of objects) on the selected portion of the
design.

    -top <module>
        print design hierarchy with this module as top. if the design is fully
        selected and a module has the 'top' attribute set, this module is used
        default value for this option.

    -width
        annotate internal cell types with their word width.
        e.g. $add_8 for an 8 bit wide $add cell.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{submod -- moving part of a module to a new submodule}
\label{cmd:submod}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    submod [selection]

This pass identifies all cells with the 'submod' attribute and moves them to
a newly created module. The value of the attribute is used as name for the
cell that replaces the group of cells with the same attribute value.

This pass can be used to create a design hierarchy in flat design. This can
be useful for analyzing or reverse-engineering a design.

This pass only operates on completely selected modules with no processes
or memories.


    submod -name <name> [selection]

As above, but don't use the 'submod' attribute but instead use the selection.
Only objects from one module might be selected. The value of the -name option
is used as the value of the 'submod' attribute above.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{synth -- generic synthesis script}
\label{cmd:synth}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    synth [options]

This command runs the default synthesis script. This command does not operate
on partly selected designs.

    -top <module>
        use the specified module as top module (default='top')

    -run <from_label>[:<to_label>]
        only run the commands between the labels (see below). an empty
        from label is synonymous to 'begin', and empty to label is
        synonymous to the end of the command list.


The following commands are executed by this synthesis command:

    begin:
        hierarchy -check [-top <top>]

    coarse:
        proc
        opt
        wreduce
        alumacc
        share
        opt
        fsm
        opt -fast
        memory -nomap
        opt_clean

    fine:
        opt -fast -full
        memory_map
        opt -full
        techmap
        opt -fast

    abc:
        abc -fast
        opt -fast
\end{lstlisting}

\section{synth\_xilinx -- synthesis for Xilinx FPGAs}
\label{cmd:synth_xilinx}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    synth_xilinx [options]

This command runs synthesis for Xilinx FPGAs. This command does not operate on
partly selected designs.

    -top <module>
        use the specified module as top module (default='top')

    -arch <arch>
        select architecture. the following architectures are supported:
            spartan6 (default), artix7, kintex7, virtex7, zynq7000
            (this parameter is not used by the command at the moment)

    -edif <file>
        write the design to the specified edif file. writing of an output file
        is omitted if this parameter is not specified.

    -run <from_label>:<to_label>
        only run the commands between the labels (see below). an empty
        from label is synonymous to 'begin', and empty to label is
        synonymous to the end of the command list.


The following commands are executed by this synthesis command:

    begin:
        hierarchy -check -top <top>

    coarse:
        proc
        opt
        memory
        clean
        fsm
        opt

    fine:

\end{lstlisting}

\section{tcl -- execute a TCL script file}
\label{cmd:tcl}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    tcl <filename>

This command executes the tcl commands in the specified file.
Use 'yosys cmd' to run the yosys command 'cmd' from tcl.

The tcl command 'yosys -import' can be used to import all yosys
commands directly as tcl commands to the tcl shell. The yosys
command 'proc' is wrapped using the tcl command 'procs' in order
to avoid a name collision with the tcl builting command 'proc'.
\end{lstlisting}

\section{techmap -- generic technology mapper}
\label{cmd:techmap}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    techmap [-map filename] [selection]

This pass implements a very simple technology mapper that replaces cells in
the design with implementations given in form of a verilog or ilang source
file.

    -map filename
        the library of cell implementations to be used.
        without this parameter a builtin library is used that
        transforms the internal RTL cells to the internal gate
        library.

    -map %<design-name>
        like -map above, but with an in-memory design instead of a file.

    -share_map filename
        like -map, but look for the file in the share directory (where the
        yosys data files are). this is mainly used internally when techmap
        is called from other commands.

    -extern
        load the cell implementations as separate modules into the design
        instead of inlining them.

    -max_iter <number>
        only run the specified number of iterations.

    -recursive
        instead of the iterative breadth-first algorithm use a recursive
        depth-first algorithm. both methods should yield equivialent results,
        but may differ in performance.

    -autoproc
        Automatically call "proc" on implementations that contain processes.

    -assert
        this option will cause techmap to exit with an error if it can't map
        a selected cell. only cell types that end on an underscore are accepted
        as final cell types by this mode.

    -D <define>, -I <incdir>
        this options are passed as-is to the verilog frontend for loading the
        map file. Note that the verilog frontend is also called with the
        '-ignore_redef' option set.

When a module in the map file has the 'techmap_celltype' attribute set, it will
match cells with a type that match the text value of this attribute. Otherwise
the module name will be used to match the cell.

When a module in the map file has the 'techmap_simplemap' attribute set, techmap
will use 'simplemap' (see 'help simplemap') to map cells matching the module.

When a module in the map file has the 'techmap_maccmap' attribute set, techmap
will use 'maccmap' (see 'help maccmap') to map cells matching the module.

When a module in the map file has the 'techmap_wrap' attribute set, techmap
will create a wrapper for the cell and then run the command string that the
attribute is set to on the wrapper module.

All wires in the modules from the map file matching the pattern _TECHMAP_*
or *._TECHMAP_* are special wires that are used to pass instructions from
the mapping module to the techmap command. At the moment the following special
wires are supported:

    _TECHMAP_FAIL_
        When this wire is set to a non-zero constant value, techmap will not
        use this module and instead try the next module with a matching
        'techmap_celltype' attribute.

        When such a wire exists but does not have a constant value after all
        _TECHMAP_DO_* commands have been executed, an error is generated.

    _TECHMAP_DO_*
        This wires are evaluated in alphabetical order. The constant text value
        of this wire is a yosys command (or sequence of commands) that is run
        by techmap on the module. A common use case is to run 'proc' on modules
        that are written using always-statements.

        When such a wire has a non-constant value at the time it is to be
        evaluated, an error is produced. That means it is possible for such a
        wire to start out as non-constant and evaluate to a constant value
        during processing of other _TECHMAP_DO_* commands.

        A _TECHMAP_DO_* command may start with the special token 'CONSTMAP; '.
        in this case techmap will create a copy for each distinct configuration
        of constant inputs and shorted inputs at this point and import the
        constant and connected bits into the map module. All further commands
        are executed in this copy. This is a very convenient way of creating
        optimizied specializations of techmap modules without using the special
        parameters described below.

        A _TECHMAP_DO_* command may start with the special token 'RECURSION; '.
        then techmap will recursively replace the cells in the module with their
        implementation. This is not affected by the -max_iter option.

        It is possible to combine both prefixes to 'RECURSION; CONSTMAP; '.

In addition to this special wires, techmap also supports special parameters in
modules in the map file:

    _TECHMAP_CELLTYPE_
        When a parameter with this name exists, it will be set to the type name
        of the cell that matches the module.

    _TECHMAP_CONSTMSK_<port-name>_
    _TECHMAP_CONSTVAL_<port-name>_
        When this pair of parameters is available in a module for a port, then
        former has a 1-bit for each constant input bit and the latter has the
        value for this bit. The unused bits of the latter are set to undef (x).

    _TECHMAP_BITS_CONNMAP_
    _TECHMAP_CONNMAP_<port-name>_
        For an N-bit port, the _TECHMAP_CONNMAP_<port-name>_ parameter, if it
        exists, will be set to an N*_TECHMAP_BITS_CONNMAP_ bit vector containing
        N words (of _TECHMAP_BITS_CONNMAP_ bits each) that assign each single
        bit driver a unique id. The values 0-3 are reserved for 0, 1, x, and z.
        This can be used to detect shorted inputs.

When a module in the map file has a parameter where the according cell in the
design has a port, the module from the map file is only used if the port in
the design is connected to a constant value. The parameter is then set to the
constant value.

A cell with the name _TECHMAP_REPLACE_ in the map file will inherit the name
of the cell that is beeing replaced.

See 'help extract' for a pass that does the opposite thing.

See 'help flatten' for a pass that does flatten the design (which is
esentially techmap but using the design itself as map library).

\section{test\_autotb -- generate simple test benches}
\label{cmd:test_autotb}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,frame=single]
    test_autotb [options] [filename]

Automatically create primitive verilog test benches for all modules in the
design. The generated testbenches toggle the input pins of the module in
a semi-random manner and dumps the resulting output signals.

This can be used to check the synthesis results for simple circuits by
comparing the testbench output for the input files and the synthesis results.

The backend automatically detects clock signals. Additionally a signal can
be forced to be interpreted as clock signal by setting the attribute
'gentb_clock' on the signal.

The attribute 'gentb_constant' can be used to force a signal to a constant
value after initialization. This can e.g. be used to force a reset signal
low in order to explore more inner states in a state machine.

    -n <int>
        number of iterations the test bench shuld run (default = 1000)
