Bumping specific tools
======================
Sometimes it may be preferable to get the latest versions of the tools even before the full Toolchain is validated and upgraded.
These tools **are not guaranteered to be bug free**, but they enable users to take advantage of the latest fixes available.
Updating Yosys SystemVerilog plugin
-----------------------------------
.. Warning::
The expected usage of the plugin by using the ``read_systemverilog`` command (used by default in F4PGA flow) should work.
When using the plugin by calling ``read_uhdm`` command, take additional care to use the same Surelog and UHDM version for creating and reading the UHDM file - updating only the plugin can create a mismatch in this case.
Make sure ``curl``, ``jq``, ``tar`` and ``wget`` are installed (used to automatically download newest version):
.. code-block:: bash
:name: activate-xc7
apt install curl jq tar wget
Activate the conda repository for the correct family:
.. code-block:: bash
:name: activate-xc7
conda activate xc7
Obtain the latest release of the plugin from `here <https://github.com/antmicro/yosys-uhdm-plugin-integration/releases>`_:
.. code-block:: bash
:name: get-plugin
curl https://api.github.com/repos/antmicro/yosys-uhdm-plugin-integration/releases/latest | jq .assets[1] | grep "browser_download_url" | grep -Eo 'https://[^\"]*' | xargs wget -O - | tar -xz
Install the plugin using provided installation script.
It will use the ``yosys-config`` from conda, so it will install into the conda environment.
.. code-block:: bash
:name: install-plugin
./install-plugin.sh
