Working with the assistant

Ask the RTL++ assistant about a design, a failing test or a waveform. It reads your files, edits them, runs the tests, builds and traces values through the same engines you use.

Open it with ⌘I, or type a question in the command bar. Ask the assistant under a failing test, Explain on a problem, Pipeline it on a slow path and Describe it on a new project ask for you, with the test, the time, the path or the message attached. The assistant needs you to be signed in; a question asked before signing in is kept and asked once you are back.

Why does tb_uart_rx fail at 12.3 µs?
Write a PWM module with an 8-bit duty cycle and a testbench for it
What limits the clock frequency of this design?

For a failing test the deterministic Why chain comes first: the value, what it should have been, and each step back to the line that caused it, free and at once. The assistant starts from it.

What it can do

Read: Any file, find where a module or signal is defined and used, and the current diagnostics.
Edit: Change or create files with exact replacements, shown to you as a diff.
Run: The tests, the same way Run does, so the Tests rail and the waveform show the result.
Build: Synthesize, place and route for the project's device, for utilization and timing.
Read waveforms: Values at a time, the edges of a signal, and when a condition first holds.
Trace: The same walk as Why this value, from a signal at a time.
Link: A moment link to a test at a time, for you to share.

It sees the project as it is now before every step: the files, the top module, the device, the diagnostics, the last run and the waveform in the dock. A conversation belongs to the open project, and keeps running if you close the panel. Stop ends a turn at once. History, in the panel header, lists this project's conversations.

Every file and line, time, signal, test and note an answer names is a link: it opens the line, moves the waveform cursor, selects the signal, shows the test or opens the note.
