Using Hog with Libero SoC#

Warning

Outdated Documentation! This documentation version is out of date. Please check the latest version 2026.1.

From Hog2025.1, we added support to Lattice Diamond. To use Hog with Diamond, some special configurations must be set by the users.

Tcllib#

Unfortunately, Diamond does not ship with a full version of tcllib. Therefore, Hog has to use the system installed tcllib library.

This can be installed easily,

sudo apt install tcllib # On Ubuntu
sudo yum install tcllib # On Fedora/CentOs/RedHat
sudo zypper install tcllib # On OpenSuse

Once installed, you must tell Hog the location of the tcllib libraries, by setting the HOG_TCLLIB_PATH accordingly. E.g.

export HOG_TCLLIB_PATH=/usr/share/tcl/tcllib1.20/

This variable must be also set in the CI, following the instructions for GitLab CI/CD and for GitHub Actions.

Diamond’s IP are packed in the .ipx format. Simply include them in your .src list file, to use them in your project

# Example Diamond.src list file including a pll IP
diamond/ips/my_pll/my_pll.ipx 

Currently, we do not support any simulation tools for Libero SoC. Support is planned in future releases.
