Available commands Commands should be invoked in the window showing the netlist. Parse a Verilog netlist using the closed source parser: :Parse :ParseAll :Parse just extracts the user-defined Verilog modules and instances; whereas :ParseAll extracts everything, and standard cells will be shown in the hierarchy. Show the information of the module under the cursor: :Module Go to the definition of the module whose name matches with the given regular expression: :GoToModule <module name regex, e.g. free.*dom> Go to the declaration of the instance whose instance path matches with the given regular expression: :GoToInstance <instance path regex, e.g. /top_module_name/path/to/instanc.*> Extract the definition of a module and put it on a separate buffer/window: :OneModule <module name regex, e.g. free.*dom> Show the hierarchy of the design: :Hier Source hosted at github: https://github.com/tklam/birdie Demo .gif also available on github Thanks a lot for using

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
birdie.zip	2.0	2024-02-28	7.0	TK Lam	hdlConverter is used instead of the the proprietary parser. The problem with the proprietary parser is that its data structures are not available in Python. As a result, communication between the proprietary parser and the Vim script is based on a big JSON file, which is extremely inefficient. Using hdlConverter boosts the overall performance significantly. This script now requries the user to install hdlConverter, though.

birdie.zip	1.1	2022-04-23	7.0	TK Lam	Increased the parser's stack size so that it can process large netlists.
