Versioning is aligned on chisel stack version policy and this release is fully compatible with chisel stack x.5.+:

• sv2chisel generates valid chisel3 3.5.+
• sv2chisel-helpers is published with a dependency on chisel3 3.5.0, de facto compatible with all chisel3 3.5.+ versions

---

Downloads available below, provided with GPG signatures and with the following flavors:

• Native standalone binaries for linux, mac and windows.
• Cross platform fat jar with launcher in tarball (requiring an existing java 8+ installation)

To check the signature, download both the executable and its signature in the same folder and run for example on linux gpg --verify sv2chisel_linux_amd64.asc

Release candidate for the first official release of sv2chisel & sv2chisel_helpers

sv2chisel and sv2chisel-helpers are now available on Maven central https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/ovhcloud/ and might be added directly to your scala projects.
For example with sbt

libraryDependencies += "com.ovhcloud" % "sv2chisel-helpers_2.12" % "0.1.0-RC2"
libraryDependencies += "com.ovhcloud" % "sv2chisel_2.12" % "0.1.0-RC2"

More syntax examples on respective maven pages:

• https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.ovhcloud/sv2chisel-helpers_2.12/0.1.0-RC2/jar

Download both in the same directory (or update path within the bash file) and you are all set!

Usage example

# get all the syntax
./sv2chisel --help

# preferred usage based on config files
./sv2chisel -c <my_config_file.yml>

# most simple call, directly translating to <path/to/my_verilog_file.scala> 
./sv2chisel <path/to/my_verilog_file1.sv> ... <path/to/my_verilog_fileN.sv>
