systemc-clang parses SystemC 2.3.3. It parses RTL constructs and some TLM 2.0 constructs. There is a HDL synthesis plugin that generates Verilog from SystemC RTL descriptions.
- llvm/clang (version 13.0.0)
- SystemC version 2.3.3.
- c++14 is required. We are using some features that necessitate c++17. Down-porting it is also possible, but not supported.
- Please see this
To compile with the HDL plugin, run cmake with the -DHDL=on flag.
Doxygen: https://anikau31.github.io/systemc-clang/index.html
It is possible to build the documentation by specifying the
-DBUILD_DOC=ONflag. This will provide the following targetsdoxygen: Builds Doxygen documentation.sphinx: Builds Sphinx documentation.
To enable compilation of tests, run cmake with the -DENABLE_TESTS=on flag and also the -DSYSTEMC_DIR=<path> flag to pass the location for SystemC. Without specifying the SYSTEMC_DIR path, it will not be possible to run the unit tests.
For information about running verilog conversion tests, see this file.
If you encounter problems, please create issues with a minimally working example that illustrates the issue.
We build all the dependencies necessary for systemc-clang in a Docker image that you may use. Follow these Docker systemc-clang instructions to use the Docker image for building systemc-clang, and running benchmarks.
