+SymbiFlow Verilog to VtR XML (v2x)
+===================================

+   :alt: Build Status
+
+
+v2x is a tool for converting specialized annotated Verilog models into XML needed for
+`Verilog to Routing flow <https://docs.verilogtorouting.org/en/latest/arch/reference/>`_.
+
+Documentation can be found at `https://python-symbiflow-v2x.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ <https://python-symbiflow-v2x.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html>`_.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+v2x can be installed from a local git repository using pip.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   cd python-symbiflow-v2x
+   pip install .
+
+Alternatively, it can be installed from GitHub directly.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   pip install git+https://github.com/SymbiFlow/python-symbiflow-v2x.git#egg=python-symbiflow-v2x
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+After installing v2x, you can run ``python -m v2x`` to use it.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   python -m v2x -h
+   usage: __main__.py [-h] [--top TOP] [--outfile OUTFILE] [--includes INCLUDES]
+                      [--mode {pb_type,model}]
+                      input.v [input.v ...]
+
+   Verilog to XML
+
+   positional arguments:
+     input.v               One or more Verilog input files, that will be passed
+                           to Yosys internally. They should be enough to generate
+                           a flattened representation of the model, so that paths
+                           through the model can be determined.
+
+   optional arguments:
+     -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+     --top TOP             Top level module, will usually be automatically
+                           determined from the file name im.v
+     --outfile OUTFILE, -o OUTFILE
+                           Output filename, default 'output.xml'
+     --includes INCLUDES   Comma separate list of include directories.
+     --mode {pb_type,model}
+                           Output file type, possible values are: pb_type and
+                           model. Default value is pb_type
+
+For example, to generate a pb_type xml file from adder.v, run 
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   python -m v2x -o adder.pb_type.xml adder.v
+
+Or, to generate a model xml file, run 
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   python -m v2x --mode model -o adder.model.xml adder.v
+
+v2x expects the module name to be the same as the file name. If it is different, make sure to specifiy it with the ``--top`` argument.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   python -m v2x --top BLOCK -o adder.pb_type.xml adder.v
+
+Tests
+-----
+
+The test cases are stored in tests/, and pytest can be used to run them.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   rm -rf build  # run this step so that pytest uses the latest files for the tests
+   pytest -vv
+
+If you are making changes to any python code, make sure that they follow the PEP8 style guide by running flake8.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   flake8 tests
+   flake8 v2x
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+We use sphinx for our documentation and the files are stored in docs/. To host it locally (if you are planning to update it), you can use the Makefile inside.
+
+First, run ``make env`` to prepare a Conda environment that contains the necessary packages to build and host the documentation site. After that, simply run ``make livehtml`` which starts a local server running at port 8000 with the documentation site.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   cd docs
+   make env
+   make livehtml
