JSON2STEMS(1)                 Filetype Conversion                JSON2STEMS(1)

NAME
       json2stems - Verilator JSON to rtlbrowse stems conversion.

SYNTAX
       json2stems METAINFILE TREEINFILE OUTFILE

DESCRIPTION
       Converts Verilator JSON AST representation to stems file for use with
       rtlbrowse.  Intended to replace the obsolete xml2stems(1), and in the
       future, advanced tool features may possibly use additional data
       provided by the Verilator AST.

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 -json-only --bbox-sys

       json2stems obj_dir/Vdes.tree.meta.json obj_dir/Vdes.tree.json des.stems

       gtkwave -t des.stems des.fst
