Make verilog Error

[Krishnakumarmohanraj]

Hi Team,

we installed rocket tools and chisel in machine and set the path, when we run the cmd "make verilog" in rocket-chip we are geeting attached error. Can you help me on this issue please

Same here. It seems like firtool isn't being built properly and I narrowed down the error portion to this specific piece of code in the build.sc file:

object mfccompiler extends Module {
    def compile = T {
      os.proc("firtool",
        generator.chirrtl().path,
        s"--annotation-file=${generator.chiselAnno().path}",
        "--disable-annotation-unknown",
        "-dedup",
        "-O=debug",
        "--split-verilog",
        "--preserve-values=named",
        "--output-annotation-file=mfc.anno.json",
        s"-o=${T.dest}"
      ).call(T.dest)
      PathRef(T.dest)
    }

so what is debup? I have firtool installed and when i run make verilog, the following error occurs:

`No mill version specified.

To generate Verilog from rocket-chip, I recommend using Chipyard. The rocket-chip repo is intended to be used as a library by more complex projects.

@yulong-lan
Maybe you can modify build.sc, about line 145 in object mfccompiler, change the parameter "-dedup" to "--no-dedup". I guess it's due to the update of firtool.(and my firtool version is 1.62.0)
