SiCl4

Tool for interactive reverse engineering of digital logic.

SiCl4 (silicon tetrachloride) is a tool for reverse-engineering digital logic designs. Starting from an FPGA bitstream or other types of netlists, this tool will assist users in interactively recovering higher-level structures. Algorithms will help with tasks such as finding shared subcircuits or identifying known patterns such as adders, counters, comparators, state machines, etc., so that the user can focus on understanding the higher-level functions of the target design. SiCl4 will be scriptable in order to allow for easy extension, and it will also integrate with the existing open-source EDA ecosystem.
