Subject: Add extmodule support to firrtl backend
X-Git-Tag: working-ls180~530^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1f1b64b8808137efa9e15017c839791367fbd221;p=yosys.git

Add extmodule support to firrtl backend

The current firrtl backend emits blackboxes as standard modules
with an empty body, but this causes the firrtl compiler to
optimize out entire circuits due to the absence of any drivers.

Yosys already tags blackboxes with a (*blackbox*) attribute, so this
commit just propagates this change to firrtl's syntax for blackboxes.
