It would be good if GHDL is also able to generate a bloated (but flattened) netlist. If GHDL is able to do that, great. If it's not able to do that yet, then we need to figure out how we can make that happen, hence my suggestion on having GHDL generate intermediate code. It's just one of the many approaches we could explore. > > > I "just" wish to lower the barreer of entry in the digital design world, > where commercial solutions are so expensive that people just prefer > to not think about it.

Might take a while, but surely worth the effort. cheers, dan
