Thanks to Vinzenz Esser for reminding me of summarizing this. I had no
plans of summarizing because I did not get very much information. But as
I wrote an answer to Vinzenz, it occurred to me that I did have
something to say anyway.
I had hoped that there was some nice freeware tool that could work upon
cxref(1) data for example. There is one, called cxref that makes html
out of cxref(1) output, a colleague showed me that, but it looked to me
as if the whole thing became even more confusing.
Another company where I was formerly employed used a tool called
´sniff´ (
http://www.takefive.com/products/).What I saw worked nicely, it
could show inheritance diagrams from c++ classes and a lot of other
stuff graphically.
DEC FUSE might be worth considering, K McManus felt that
"The DEC Fuse system is not too bad, the worst bit being dxladebug."
MC Vialette proposed something called logiscope
"You may find some explanations at
http://www.verilogusa.com/
particularly at
http://www.verilogusa.com/solution/logiscop.htm
"
But then again, this is a major profiling, test coverage, whatever suite
and I just needed a browser.
So,
DECFuse or SNIFF, I guess.
