the quicklogic installation flow is pretty weird
<whitequark[cis]>
I reported a bunch of issues against it to try and make it function passably but it never quite did

does nextpnt-ecp5 --gui actually work? or how can you get it to work? I see entries in the Cells and Nets tabs, but when I select them, I see nothing in the Device tab
<Guest97>
I'm assuming nextpnr is on topic even if it's not strictly part of yosys
<Guest97>
maybe there's a better way to view what yosys actually generated?
<whitequark[cis]>
what do you want to see?
<whitequark[cis]>
just a netlist?
<Guest97>
whitequark[cis] the netlist with write_verilog is not very readable so I wanted something nicer
<whitequark[cis]>
does show work for you?
<whitequark[cis]>
usually it does not, but it's not like nextpnr is better
<whitequark[cis]>
it is not readable, i mean
<Guest97>
"show"? I don't know that
<whitequark[cis]>
yosys command
<whitequark[cis]>
use it in place of write_verilog
<Guest97>
will try
<Guest97>
it generated a 33 MB .dot file, and dot is chewing on it hard...
<Guest97>
will this even terminate? I aborted it
<Guest97>
any other options?

There is a 3rd party tool netlistsvg which takes the output of `write_json` and converts it into a "schematic"
<lethalbit>
but for large designs it's going to be painful
<lethalbit>
if the `show` command didn't work for you, I doubt netlistsvg will do any better
<Guest97>
most of the design is just a vexriscv soc
<lethalbit>
in that case, assuming the design isn't fully flattend you might just want to use `select` to filter out that
<Guest97>
interesting idea
<lethalbit>
I mean, I suspect that will trim your netlist down by a lot, making `show` more reasonable
