This - is potentially dangerous. Usually the front-end has good reasons - for converting an array to a list of registers. Prohibiting this - step will likely result in incorrect synthesis results. - -- The ``mem2reg`` attribute on modules or arrays forces the early - conversion of arrays to separate registers. - -- The ``nomeminit`` attribute on modules or arrays prohibits the - creation of initialized memories. This effectively puts ``mem2reg`` - on all memories that are written to in an ``initial`` block and - are not ROMs. - -- The ``nolatches`` attribute on modules or always-blocks - prohibits the generation of logic-loops for latches. Instead - all not explicitly assigned values default to x-bits. This does - not affect clocked storage elements such as flip-flops. - -- The ``nosync`` attribute on registers prohibits the generation of a - storage element. The register itself will always have all bits set - to 'x' (undefined). The variable may only be used as blocking assigned - temporary variable within an always block. This is mostly used internally - by Yosys to synthesize Verilog functions and access arrays. - -- The ``nowrshmsk`` attribute on a register prohibits the generation of - shift-and-mask type circuits for writing to bit slices of that register. - -- The ``onehot`` attribute on wires mark them as one-hot state register. This - is used for example for memory port sharing and set by the fsm_map pass. - -- The ``blackbox`` attribute on modules is used to mark empty stub modules - that have the same ports as the real thing but do not contain information - on the internal configuration. This modules are only used by the synthesis - passes to identify input and output ports of cells. The Verilog backend - also does not output blackbox modules on default. ``read_verilog``, unless - called with ``-noblackbox`` will automatically set the blackbox attribute - on any empty module it reads. - -- The ``noblackbox`` attribute set on an empty module prevents ``read_verilog`` - from automatically setting the blackbox attribute on the module. - -- The ``whitebox`` attribute on modules triggers the same behavior as - ``blackbox``, but is for whitebox modules, i.e. library modules that - contain a behavioral model of the cell type. - -- The ``lib_whitebox`` attribute overwrites ``whitebox`` when ``read_verilog`` - is run in `-lib` mode. Otherwise it's automatically removed. - -- The ``dynports`` attribute is used by the Verilog front-end to mark modules - that have ports with a width that depends on a parameter. - -- The ``hdlname`` attribute is used by some passes to document the original - (HDL) name of a module when renaming a module. It should contain a single - name, or, when describing a hierarchical name in a flattened design, multiple - names separated by a single space character. - -- The ``keep`` attribute on cells and wires is used to mark objects that should - never be removed by the optimizer. This is used for example for cells that - have hidden connections that are not part of the netlist, such as IO pads. - Setting the ``keep`` attribute on a module has the same effect as setting it - on all instances of the module. - -- The ``keep_hierarchy`` attribute on cells and modules keeps the ``flatten`` - command from flattening the indicated cells and modules. - -- The `gate_cost_equivalent` attribute on a module can be used to specify - the estimated cost of the module as a number of basic gate instances. See - the help message of command `keep_hierarchy` which interprets this - attribute. - -- The ``init`` attribute on wires is set by the frontend when a register is - initialized "FPGA-style" with ``reg foo = val``. It can be used during - synthesis to add the necessary reset logic. - -- The ``top`` attribute on a module marks this module as the top of the - design hierarchy. The ``hierarchy`` command sets this attribute when called - with ``-top``. Other commands, such as ``flatten`` and various backends - use this attribute to determine the top module. - -- The ``src`` attribute is set on cells and wires created by to the string - ``:`` by the HDL front-end and is then carried - through the synthesis. When entities are combined, a new |-separated - string is created that contains all the string from the original entities. - -- The ``defaultvalue`` attribute is used to store default values for - module inputs. The attribute is attached to the input wire by the HDL - front-end when the input is declared with a default value. - -- The ``parameter`` and ``localparam`` attributes are used to mark wires - that represent module parameters or localparams (when the HDL front-end - is run in ``-pwires`` mode). - -- Wires marked with the ``hierconn`` attribute are connected to wires with the - same name (format ``cell_name.identifier``) when they are imported from - sub-modules by ``flatten``. - -- The ``clkbuf_driver`` attribute can be set on an output port of a blackbox - module to mark it as a clock buffer output, and thus prevent ``clkbufmap`` - from inserting another clock buffer on a net driven by such output. - -- The ``clkbuf_sink`` attribute can be set on an input port of a module to - request clock buffer insertion by the ``clkbufmap`` pass. - -- The ``clkbuf_inv`` attribute can be set on an output port of a module - with the value set to the name of an input port of that module. When - the ``clkbufmap`` would otherwise insert a clock buffer on this output, - it will instead try inserting the clock buffer on the input port (this - is used to implement clock inverter cells that clock buffer insertion - will "see through"). - -- The ``clkbuf_inhibit`` is the default attribute to set on a wire to prevent - automatic clock buffer insertion by ``clkbufmap``. This behaviour can be - overridden by providing a custom selection to ``clkbufmap``. - -- The ``invertible_pin`` attribute can be set on a port to mark it as - invertible via a cell parameter. The name of the inversion parameter - is specified as the value of this attribute. The value of the inversion - parameter must be of the same width as the port, with 1 indicating - an inverted bit and 0 indicating a non-inverted bit. - -- The ``iopad_external_pin`` attribute on a blackbox module's port marks - it as the external-facing pin of an I/O pad, and prevents ``iopadmap`` - from inserting another pad cell on it. - -- The module attribute ``abc9_lut`` is an integer attribute indicating to - `abc9` that this module describes a LUT with an area cost of this value, and - propagation delays described using `specify` statements. - -- The module attribute ``abc9_box`` is a boolean specifying a black/white-box - definition, with propagation delays described using `specify` statements, for - use by `abc9`. - -- The port attribute ``abc9_carry`` marks the carry-in (if an input port) and - carry-out (if output port) ports of a box. This information is necessary for - `abc9` to preserve the integrity of carry-chains. Specifying this attribute - onto a bus port will affect only its most significant bit. - -- The module attribute ``abc9_flop`` is a boolean marking the module as a - flip-flop. This allows `abc9` to analyse its contents in order to perform - sequential synthesis. - -- The frontend sets attributes ``always_comb``, ``always_latch`` and - ``always_ff`` on processes derived from SystemVerilog style always blocks - according to the type of the always. These are checked for correctness in - ``proc_dlatch``. - -- The cell attribute ``wildcard_port_conns`` represents wildcard port - connections (SystemVerilog ``.*``). These are resolved to concrete - connections to matching wires in ``hierarchy``. - -- In addition to the ``(* ... *)`` attribute syntax, Yosys supports - the non-standard ``{* ... *}`` attribute syntax to set default attributes - for everything that comes after the ``{* ... *}`` statement. (Reset - by adding an empty ``{* *}`` statement.) - -- In module parameter and port declarations, and cell port and parameter - lists, a trailing comma is ignored. This simplifies writing Verilog code - generators a bit in some cases. - -- Modules can be declared with ``module mod_name(...);`` (with three dots - instead of a list of module ports). With this syntax it is sufficient - to simply declare a module port as 'input' or 'output' in the module - body. - -- When defining a macro with `define, all text between triple double quotes - is interpreted as macro body, even if it contains unescaped newlines. The - triple double quotes are removed from the macro body. For example: - - `define MY_MACRO(a, b) """ - assign a = 23; - assign b = 42; - """ - -- The attribute ``via_celltype`` can be used to implement a Verilog task or - function by instantiating the specified cell type. The value is the name - of the cell type to use. For functions the name of the output port can - be specified by appending it to the cell type separated by a whitespace. - The body of the task or function is unused in this case and can be used - to specify a behavioral model of the cell type for simulation. For example: - - module my_add3(A, B, C, Y); - parameter WIDTH = 8; - input [WIDTH-1:0] A, B, C; - output [WIDTH-1:0] Y; - ... - endmodule - - module top; - ... - (* via_celltype = "my_add3 Y" *) - (* via_celltype_defparam_WIDTH = 32 *) - function [31:0] add3; - input [31:0] A, B, C; - begin - add3 = A + B + C; - end - endfunction - ... - endmodule - -- The ``wiretype`` attribute is added by the verilog parser for wires of a - typedef'd type to indicate the type identifier. - -- Various ``enum_value_{value}`` attributes are added to wires of an enumerated type - to give a map of possible enum items to their values. - -- The ``enum_base_type`` attribute is added to enum items to indicate which - enum they belong to (enums -- anonymous and otherwise -- are - automatically named with an auto-incrementing counter). Note that enums - are currently not strongly typed. - -- A limited subset of DPI-C functions is supported. The plugin mechanism - (see ``help plugin``) can be used to load .so files with implementations - of DPI-C routines. As a non-standard extension it is possible to specify - a plugin alias using the ``:`` syntax. For example: - - module dpitest; - import "DPI-C" function foo:round = real my_round (real); - parameter real r = my_round(12.345); - endmodule - - $ yosys -p 'plugin -a foo -i /lib/libm.so; read_verilog dpitest.v' - -- Sized constants (the syntax ``'s?[bodh]``) support constant - expressions as ````. If the expression is not a simple identifier, it - must be put in parentheses. Examples: ``WIDTH'd42``, ``(4+2)'b101010`` - -- The system tasks ``$finish``, ``$stop`` and ``$display`` are supported in - initial blocks in an unconditional context (only if/case statements on - expressions over parameters and constant values are allowed). The intended - use for this is synthesis-time DRC. - -- There is limited support for converting ``specify`` .. ``endspecify`` - statements to special ``$specify2``, ``$specify3``, and ``$specrule`` cells, - for use in blackboxes and whiteboxes. Use ``read_verilog -specify`` to - enable this functionality. (By default these blocks are ignored.) - -- The ``reprocess_after`` internal attribute is used by the Verilog frontend to - mark cells with bindings which might depend on the specified instantiated - module. Modules with such cells will be reprocessed during the ``hierarchy`` - pass once the referenced module definition(s) become available. - -- The ``smtlib2_module`` attribute can be set on a blackbox module to specify a - formal model directly using SMT-LIB 2. For such a module, the - ``smtlib2_comb_expr`` attribute can be used on output ports to define their - value using an SMT-LIB 2 expression. For example: - - (* blackbox *) - (* smtlib2_module *) - module submod(a, b); - input [7:0] a; - (* smtlib2_comb_expr = "(bvnot a)" *) - output [7:0] b; - endmodule - -Non-standard or SystemVerilog features for formal verification -============================================================== - -- Support for ``assert``, ``assume``, ``restrict``, and ``cover`` is enabled - when ``read_verilog`` is called with ``-formal``. - -- The system task ``$initstate`` evaluates to 1 in the initial state and - to 0 otherwise. - -- The system function ``$anyconst`` evaluates to any constant value. This is - equivalent to declaring a reg as ``rand const``, but also works outside - of checkers.

This is equivalent to declaring a reg as ``rand``, - but also works outside of checkers. (Yosys also supports ``rand`` - variables outside checkers.) - -- The system functions ``$allconst`` and ``$allseq`` can be used to construct - formal exist-forall problems. Assumptions only hold if the trace satisfies - the assumption for all ``$allconst/$allseq`` values. For assertions and cover - statements it is sufficient if just one ``$allconst/$allseq`` value triggers - the property (similar to ``$anyconst/$anyseq``). - -- Wires/registers declared using the ``anyconst/anyseq/allconst/allseq`` attribute - (for example ``(* anyconst *) reg [7:0] foobar;``) will behave as if driven - by a ``$anyconst/$anyseq/$allconst/$allseq`` function. - -- The SystemVerilog tasks ``$past``, ``$stable``, ``$rose`` and ``$fell`` are - supported in any clocked block. - -- The syntax ``@($global_clock)`` can be used to create FFs that have no - explicit clock input (``$ff`` cells).

This effectively puts ``mem2reg`` on all memories that + are written to in an ``initial`` block and are not ROMs. + +- The ``nolatches`` attribute on modules or always-blocks prohibits the + generation of logic-loops for latches. Instead all not explicitly assigned + values default to x-bits. This does not affect clocked storage elements such + as flip-flops. + +- The ``nosync`` attribute on registers prohibits the generation of a storage + element. The register itself will always have all bits set to 'x' (undefined). + The variable may only be used as blocking assigned temporary variable within + an always block. This is mostly used internally by Yosys to synthesize Verilog + functions and access arrays. + +- The ``nowrshmsk`` attribute on a register prohibits the generation of + shift-and-mask type circuits for writing to bit slices of that register. + +- The ``onehot`` attribute on wires mark them as one-hot state register. This is + used for example for memory port sharing and set by the fsm_map pass. + +- The ``blackbox`` attribute on modules is used to mark empty stub modules that + have the same ports as the real thing but do not contain information on the + internal configuration. This modules are only used by the synthesis passes to + identify input and output ports of cells. The Verilog backend also does not + output blackbox modules on default. `read_verilog`, unless called with + ``-noblackbox`` will automatically set the blackbox attribute on any empty + module it reads. + +- The ``noblackbox`` attribute set on an empty module prevents `read_verilog` + from automatically setting the blackbox attribute on the module. + +- The ``whitebox`` attribute on modules triggers the same behavior as + ``blackbox``, but is for whitebox modules, i.e. library modules that contain a + behavioral model of the cell type. + +- The ``lib_whitebox`` attribute overwrites ``whitebox`` when `read_verilog` is + run in ``-lib`` mode. Otherwise it's automatically removed. + +- The ``dynports`` attribute is used by the Verilog front-end to mark modules + that have ports with a width that depends on a parameter. + +- The ``hdlname`` attribute is used by some passes to document the original + (HDL) name of a module when renaming a module. It should contain a single + name, or, when describing a hierarchical name in a flattened design, multiple + names separated by a single space character. + +- The ``keep`` attribute on cells and wires is used to mark objects that should + never be removed by the optimizer. This is used for example for cells that + have hidden connections that are not part of the netlist, such as IO pads. + Setting the ``keep`` attribute on a module has the same effect as setting it + on all instances of the module. + +- The ``keep_hierarchy`` attribute on cells and modules keeps the `flatten` + command from flattening the indicated cells and modules. + +- The `gate_cost_equivalent` attribute on a module can be used to specify + the estimated cost of the module as a number of basic gate instances. See + the help message of command `keep_hierarchy` which interprets this + attribute. + +- The ``init`` attribute on wires is set by the frontend when a register is + initialized "FPGA-style" with ``reg foo = val``. It can be used during + synthesis to add the necessary reset logic. + +- The ``top`` attribute on a module marks this module as the top of the design + hierarchy. The `hierarchy` command sets this attribute when called with + ``-top``. Other commands, such as `flatten` and various backends use this + attribute to determine the top module. + +- The ``src`` attribute is set on cells and wires created by to the string + ``:`` by the HDL front-end and is then carried + through the synthesis. When entities are combined, a new \|-separated string + is created that contains all the strings from the original entities. + +- The ``defaultvalue`` attribute is used to store default values for module + inputs. The attribute is attached to the input wire by the HDL front-end when + the input is declared with a default value. + +- The ``parameter`` and ``localparam`` attributes are used to mark wires that + represent module parameters or localparams (when the HDL front-end is run in + ``-pwires`` mode). + +- Wires marked with the ``hierconn`` attribute are connected to wires with the + same name (format ``cell_name.identifier``) when they are imported from + sub-modules by `flatten`. + +- The ``clkbuf_driver`` attribute can be set on an output port of a blackbox + module to mark it as a clock buffer output, and thus prevent `clkbufmap` from + inserting another clock buffer on a net driven by such output. + +- The ``clkbuf_sink`` attribute can be set on an input port of a module to + request clock buffer insertion by the `clkbufmap` pass. + +- The ``clkbuf_inv`` attribute can be set on an output port of a module with the + value set to the name of an input port of that module. When the `clkbufmap` + would otherwise insert a clock buffer on this output, it will instead try + inserting the clock buffer on the input port (this is used to implement clock + inverter cells that clock buffer insertion will "see through"). + +- The ``clkbuf_inhibit`` is the default attribute to set on a wire to prevent + automatic clock buffer insertion by `clkbufmap`. This behaviour can be + overridden by providing a custom selection to `clkbufmap`. + +- The ``invertible_pin`` attribute can be set on a port to mark it as invertible + via a cell parameter. The name of the inversion parameter is specified as the + value of this attribute. The value of the inversion parameter must be of the + same width as the port, with 1 indicating an inverted bit and 0 indicating a + non-inverted bit. + +- The ``iopad_external_pin`` attribute on a blackbox module's port marks it as + the external-facing pin of an I/O pad, and prevents `iopadmap` from inserting + another pad cell on it. + +- The module attribute ``abc9_lut`` is an integer attribute indicating to `abc9` + that this module describes a LUT with an area cost of this value, and + propagation delays described using ``specify`` statements. + +- The module attribute ``abc9_box`` is a boolean specifying a black/white-box + definition, with propagation delays described using ``specify`` statements, + for use by `abc9`. + +- The port attribute ``abc9_carry`` marks the carry-in (if an input port) and + carry-out (if output port) ports of a box. This information is necessary for + `abc9` to preserve the integrity of carry-chains. Specifying this attribute + onto a bus port will affect only its most significant bit. + +- The module attribute ``abc9_flop`` is a boolean marking the module as a + flip-flop. This allows `abc9` to analyse its contents in order to perform + sequential synthesis. + +- The frontend sets attributes ``always_comb``, ``always_latch`` and + ``always_ff`` on processes derived from SystemVerilog style always blocks + according to the type of the always. These are checked for correctness in + ``proc_dlatch``. + +- The cell attribute ``wildcard_port_conns`` represents wildcard port + connections (SystemVerilog ``.*``). These are resolved to concrete connections + to matching wires in `hierarchy`. + +- In addition to the ``(* ... *)`` attribute syntax, Yosys supports the + non-standard ``{* ... *}`` attribute syntax to set default attributes for + everything that comes after the ``{* ... *}`` statement. (Reset by adding an + empty ``{* *}`` statement.) + +- In module parameter and port declarations, and cell port and parameter lists, + a trailing comma is ignored. This simplifies writing Verilog code generators a + bit in some cases. + +- Modules can be declared with ``module mod_name(...);`` (with three dots + instead of a list of module ports). With this syntax it is sufficient to + simply declare a module port as 'input' or 'output' in the module body. + +- When defining a macro with ``\`define``, all text between triple double quotes + is interpreted as macro body, even if it contains unescaped newlines. The + triple double quotes are removed from the macro body. For example: + +.. code-block:: verilog + + `define MY_MACRO(a, b) """ + assign a = 23; + assign b = 42; + """ + +- The attribute ``via_celltype`` can be used to implement a Verilog task or + function by instantiating the specified cell type. The value is the name of + the cell type to use. For functions the name of the output port can be + specified by appending it to the cell type separated by a whitespace. The body + of the task or function is unused in this case and can be used to specify a + behavioral model of the cell type for simulation. For example: + +.. code-block:: verilog + + module my_add3(A, B, C, Y); + parameter WIDTH = 8; + input [WIDTH-1:0] A, B, C; + output [WIDTH-1:0] Y; + ... + endmodule + + module top; + ... + (* via_celltype = "my_add3 Y" *) + (* via_celltype_defparam_WIDTH = 32 *) + function [31:0] add3; + input [31:0] A, B, C; + begin + add3 = A + B + C; + end + endfunction + ... + endmodule + +- The ``wiretype`` attribute is added by the verilog parser for wires of a + typedef'd type to indicate the type identifier. + +- Various ``enum_value_{value}`` attributes are added to wires of an enumerated + type to give a map of possible enum items to their values. + +- The ``enum_base_type`` attribute is added to enum items to indicate which enum + they belong to (enums -- anonymous and otherwise -- are automatically named + with an auto-incrementing counter). Note that enums are currently not strongly + typed. + +- A limited subset of DPI-C functions is supported. The plugin mechanism (see + ``help plugin``) can be used to load .so files with implementations of DPI-C + routines. As a non-standard extension it is possible to specify a plugin alias + using the ``:`` syntax. For example: + +.. code-block:: verilog + + module dpitest; + import "DPI-C" function foo:round = real my_round (real); + parameter real r = my_round(12.345); + endmodule + +.. code-block:: + + $ yosys -p 'plugin -a foo -i /lib/libm.so; read_verilog dpitest.v' + +- Sized constants (the syntax ``'s?[bodh]``) support constant + expressions as ````. If the expression is not a simple identifier, it + must be put in parentheses. Examples: ``WIDTH'd42``, ``(4+2)'b101010`` + +- The system tasks ``$finish``, ``$stop`` and ``$display`` are supported in + initial blocks in an unconditional context (only if/case statements on + expressions over parameters and constant values are allowed). The intended use + for this is synthesis-time DRC. + +- There is limited support for converting ``specify`` .. ``endspecify`` + statements to special ``$specify2``, ``$specify3``, and ``$specrule`` cells, + for use in blackboxes and whiteboxes. Use ``read_verilog -specify`` to enable + this functionality. (By default these blocks are ignored.) + +- The ``reprocess_after`` internal attribute is used by the Verilog frontend to + mark cells with bindings which might depend on the specified instantiated + module. Modules with such cells will be reprocessed during the `hierarchy` + pass once the referenced module definition(s) become available. + +- The ``smtlib2_module`` attribute can be set on a blackbox module to specify a + formal model directly using SMT-LIB 2. For such a module, the + ``smtlib2_comb_expr`` attribute can be used on output ports to define their + value using an SMT-LIB 2 expression. For example: + +.. code-block:: verilog + + (* blackbox *) + (* smtlib2_module *) + module submod(a, b); + input [7:0] a; + (* smtlib2_comb_expr = "(bvnot a)" *) + output [7:0] b; + endmodule + +Non-standard or SystemVerilog features for formal verification +-------------------------------------------------------------- + +- Support for ``assert``, ``assume``, ``restrict``, and ``cover`` is enabled + when `read_verilog` is called with ``-formal``. + +- The system task ``$initstate`` evaluates to 1 in the initial state and to 0 + otherwise. + +- The system function ``$anyconst`` evaluates to any constant value.

This is equivalent to declaring a reg as ``rand``, but + also works outside of checkers. (Yosys also supports ``rand`` variables + outside checkers.) + +- The system functions ``$allconst`` and ``$allseq`` can be used to construct + formal exist-forall problems. Assumptions only hold if the trace satisfies the + assumption for all ``$allconst/$allseq`` values. For assertions and cover + statements it is sufficient if just one ``$allconst/$allseq`` value triggers + the property (similar to ``$anyconst/$anyseq``). + +- Wires/registers declared using the ``anyconst/anyseq/allconst/allseq`` + attribute (for example ``(* anyconst *) reg [7:0] foobar;``) will behave as if + driven by a ``$anyconst/$anyseq/$allconst/$allseq`` function. + +- The SystemVerilog tasks ``$past``, ``$stable``, ``$rose`` and ``$fell`` are + supported in any clocked block. + +- The syntax ``@($global_clock)`` can be used to create FFs that have no + explicit clock input (``$ff`` cells).
