NAME

       xml2stems - Verilator XML to rtlbrowse stems conversion.

SYNTAX

       xml2stems [option]... INFILE [OUTFILE]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       -V,--vl_sim
              Adds TOP hierarchy for Verilator sim.  Not necessary for other simulators.

       -h,--help
              Display help then exit.

EXAMPLES

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

       verilator -Wno-fatal des.v -xml-only --bbox-sys

       xml2stems obj_dir/Vdes.xml des.stems

       gtkwave -t des.stems des.fst
