cover - print code coverage counters

yosys> help cover

cover [options] [pattern]

Print the code coverage counters collected using the cover() macro in the Yosys
C++ code. This is useful to figure out what parts of Yosys are utilized by a
test bench.

-q

Do not print output to the normal destination (console and/or log file)

-o file

Write output to this file, truncate if exists.

-a file

Write output to this file, append if exists.

-d dir

Write output to a newly created file in the specified directory.

When one or more pattern (shell wildcards) are specified, then only counters
matching at least one pattern are printed.


It is also possible to instruct Yosys to print the coverage counters on program
exit to a file using environment variables:

    YOSYS_COVER_DIR="{dir-name}" yosys {args}

        This will create a file (with an auto-generated name) in this
        directory and write the coverage counters to it.

    YOSYS_COVER_FILE="{file-name}" yosys {args}

        This will append the coverage counters to the specified file.


Hint: Use the following AWK command to consolidate Yosys coverage files:

    gawk '{ p[$3] = $1; c[$3] += $2; } END { for (i in p)
      printf "%-60s %10d %s\n", p[i], c[i], i; }' {files} | sort -k3


Coverage counters are only available in Yosys for Linux.
