Using Hog with Libero SoC#

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.
