Installation

Using Docker (Recommended)

The easiest way to use TMRX is with the prebuilt Docker container that includes all dependencies:

docker pull ghcr.io/xelef2000/vlsi-toolbox:latest-amd64
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/workspace ghcr.io/xelef2000/vlsi-toolbox:latest-amd64

The container includes Yosys, yosys-slang, and all required build tools.

Building from Source

Prerequisites

The following tools must be installed and available in your PATH:

  • Yosys with yosys-config

  • Meson build system

  • C++17-compatible compiler (GCC or Clang)

  • Git for fetching dependencies

  • Make for building sub-dependencies

Build Steps

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/Xelef2000/TMRX.git
cd TMRX

  2. Configure the build directory:

    meson setup build

  3. Build the plugin:

    meson compile -C build

The shared library tmrx.so is generated in build/.

Auto-cloned Dependencies

During the first build, Meson automatically clones:

  • yosys-slang: SystemVerilog frontend for Yosys

  • IHP-Open-PDK: Open-source PDK used for testing
