Guide

The Rox guide gives an overview of the current state of Rox.

The roadmap gives an indication of the next features that will be implemented.

Building from source

1. Make sure you have installed:

   • cargo
   • git
   • rustc

2. Clone the source with git:

   git clone https://gitlab.com/tspiteri/rox.git
   cd rox
   

3. Build:

   cargo build --release
   

4. Install: Once you build, you can copy the generated executable rox to a directory in your path.

Running

The rox executable will read a list of files and output a VHDL for each component defined in the files. For more help run:

rox --help
