Here is an initial version which provides Verilator support. I'm not recommending that you adopt it as-is, but perhaps you can look at it and see how it can be modified to be acceptable. Thanks!

Things to add or fix: use the command-line info to set the VCD filename, add lint support, work out how to remove the verilator lint_off WIDTH comments in blinky.v.

the blinky project. Things to add or fix: use the command-line info to

verilator lint_off WIDTH comments in blinky.v.
Added files and blinky.core to support the ULX3S FPGA development board.
verilator_tb:
files:
- bench/blinky_tb.cpp : {file_type : cppSource}
- bench/testb.h : {file_type : user}

This should be specified as {file_type : cppSource, is_include_file : true} so that the backend knows to include the directory of the file in the include path

tools:
verilator:
verilator_options : [--trace]
parameters : [clk_freq_hz=10000]

I just checked that VCD generation works just fine if you create a new parameter (by adding an entry under the parameters section near the end of the core file) that looks like this

  vcd:
    datatype : bool
    paramtype : plusarg

add then add the newly created vcd parameter to the list of parameters for the target (i.e. change the line above to parameters : [clk_freq_hz=10000, vcd]


always @(posedge clk) begin
count <= count + 1;
/* verilator lint_off WIDTH */
