The pyEDAA.OutputFilter Documentation

Proposal to define an abstract model for outputs from EDA tools and logging libraries.

Main Goals

• Live and offline parsing and classification of message lines from tool outputs.

• Provide a data model for tool specific log files.

• Extract values, lists and tables of embedded reports or summaries.

• Implement checks and policies.

Use Cases

• Write colorized logs to CI server logs or to shells based on classification.

• Increase or decrease the severity level of message.

• List messages of a certain kind (e.g. unused sequential elements).

• Check for existence / non-existence of messages or outputs (e.g. latches).

• Collect statistics and convert to datasets for a time series database (TSDB).

Examples

List all warnings

from pyEDAA.OutputFilter.Xilinx.Synthesis import Processor

logfile = Path("tests/data/Stopwatch/toplevel.vds")
processor = Processor(logfile)
processor.Parse()

print(f"CRITICAL WARNING Messages ({len(processor.CriticalWarningMessages}):")
for message in processor.CriticalWarningMessages:
  print(f"  {message}")
