Hi Team,

Let me clarify on the installation process on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.7.

Here is my installation setting followed the "Symbiflow Installation Guide and Tutorial."

1. >chmod 755 ./Symbiflow-Linux-7-3_05_15_2020.gz.run
2. >export SYM_INSTALL_PATH=/home/username/Tool/
3. >./Symbiflow-Linux-7-3_05_15_2020.gz.run
4. >cd /home/username/Tool/symbiflow-arch-defs/install/bin
5. >source ql_env
6. >cd /home/username/Work
7. >ql_symbiflow -h

---
[username@machinename Work]$ ql_symbiflow -h

Below are the supported commands:
To synthesize and dump a eblif file:
>ql_symbiflow -synth -src <source_dir path> -d <device> -k <package> -t <top> -v <verilog_list file> -p <pcf file>
To run synthesis, pack, place and route, generate bitstream:
>ql_symbiflow -compile -src <source_dir path> -d <device> -k <package> -t <top> -v <verilog_list file> -p <pcf file>
To generate the jlink file:
>ql_symbiflow -jlink -src <source_dir path> -d <device> -k <package> -t <top> -v <verilog_list file> -p <pcf file>
To generate the post verilog file:
>ql_symbiflow -post_verilog -src <source_dir path> -d <device> -k <package> -t <top> -v <verilog_list file> -p <pcf file >
To generate the ascii header file from bitstream:
>ql_symbiflow -bit2header -src <source_dir path> -d <device> -k <package> -t <top> -v <verilog_list file> -p <pcf file>
To generate the ascii header file from jlink:
>ql_symbiflow -jlink2header -src <source_dir path> -d <device> -k <package> -t <top> -v <verilog_list file> -p <pcf file >

Is this correct? or need any correction on installation?

thanks for your advise!!

I have the same issue with a Windows 10 machine running VM and CentOS 7.x

Hi,

/v_list: Permission denied error has gone using the latest installer.

Will have some trial for synthesis and compile.

thanks
