This project has been made as per the specificatinos provided by FOSSEE for the 3rd Task: Linux Package Management System
FOSSEE_LPMS is a packaged executable installer/Front-end for Verilator, a free and open-source software tool which converts Verilog (a hardware description language) to a cycle-accurate behavioral model in C++ or SystemC
it can be freely distributed for any Linux-based platform (OS), it is written in Python using the PyQT5 library and packaged as an Appimage.
Detailed explaination has been priveded in pdf format
- Accepts Verilog & C++ Files to create executable object
- Checks if Verilator is installed on the system
- Checks for supported versions of Verilator
- Provides automated installation of latest Stable Release of Verilator
IMPORTANT: Do this only if you wish to build from Source
git clone https://github.com/suchinton/FOSSEE_LPMS.git
Downlad equilant packages on other Linux Distributions Resolves dependencies for Verilator as well but dosen't insall it by default (Refer to Verilator install instruction for latest version)
cd ./FOSSEE_LPMS/
bash ./Ubuntu_install_script.sh
bash ./make_appimage.sh
