OpenSTA's
read_verilog
command supports a limited subset of Verilog. With this PR, yosys should be able to consistently present a design including derived blackboxes of internal cells made public with. The usefulness of these code changes is yet to be determined so it's a draft for nowI'm adding to
box_derive
a mode named-apply
which actually remaps instances of parametric modules to be instances of the new derived ones. I'm also adding apublish
pass that escapes internal cell types to become valid identifiers. @povik does the-apply
mode seem sensible?discard cell parameters inI ended up not using this but for my use case I'm contributing it anyway since it's well defined and tested. Removing the parameters could be done in a followup if necessarybox_derive -apply
