About:
sv2v is a command-line tool that converts SystemVerilog hardware design code into standard Verilog. It enables developers to use modern SystemVerilog features while maintaining compatibility with tools that only support legacy Verilog. This facilitates broader toolchain support and legacy integration without requiring manual code rewriting.
Key Features:
  • Comprehensive SystemVerilog to Verilog conversion
  • Preserves design semantics and functionality
  • Command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
  • Open-source implementation in Haskell
Use Cases:
  • Converting modern SystemVerilog designs for use with legacy Verilog-only synthesis or simulation tools
  • Standardizing codebases that mix SystemVerilog and Verilog for consistent toolchain processing
  • Preparing designs for submission to foundries or partners with strict Verilog-only requirements
Alternatives:
  • Verilator – Primarily a simulator/linter; includes limited preprocessing capabilities but is not a dedicated conversion tool.
  • Icarus Verilog – A simulation-focused compiler that supports a subset of SystemVerilog; does not perform full conversion to standard Verilog.
