\title{Yosys Application Note 011: \\ Interactive Design Investigation}
\author{Clifford Wolf \\ November 2013}
\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
Yosys \cite{yosys} can be a great environment for building custom synthesis
flows \cite{glaserwolf}. It can also be an excellent tool for teaching and
learning Verilog based RTL synthesis. In both applications it is of great
importance to be able to analyze the designs produces easily.

This Yosys application note covers the generation of circuit diagrams with the
Yosys {\tt show} command and the selection of interesting parts of the circuit
using the {\tt select} command.
\end{abstract}

\section{Installation and Prerequisites}

This Application Note is based on GIT Rev. {\tt \FIXME} from \FIXME{} of
Yosys \cite{yosys}. The {\tt README} file covers how to install Yosys. The
{\tt show} command requires a working installation of GraphViz \cite{graphviz}
for generating the actual circuit diagrams. Yosys must be build with Qt
support in order to activate the built-in SVG viewer. Alternatively an
external viewer can be used.
