Hammer Development
------------------
Hammer Development and Upgrades
-------------------------------
If you need to develop Hammer within Chipyard or use a version of Hammer beyond the latest PyPI release, clone the `Hammer repository <https://github.com/ucb-bar/hammer>`__ somewhere else on your disk. Then:
.. code-block:: shell
pip install -e <path/to/hammer>
To bump specific plugins to their latest commits and install them, you can use the upgrade script from the Chipyard root directory, with arguments for match patterns for the plugin names:
.. code-block:: shell
./scripts/upgrade-vlsi.sh <pattern(s)>
If you would like to upgrade your Hammer installation to the latest PyPI release and bump all of your plugins at once, run the above script without arguments. WARNING: this may pull in plugin changes that are newer than the latest Hammer release and cause incompatibility issues.
Alternative RTL Flows
---------------------
The Make-based build system provided supports using Hammer without using RTL generated by Chipyard. To push a custom Verilog module through, one only needs to append the following environment variables to the ``make buildfile`` command (or edit them directly in the Makefile).
