Builtin fusesoc parsing cores tree command

[newfrogg]

Recently, I am dealing with ibex-demo-system. There are many cores and I find it hard searching for RTL in each .core file because they loop deeper in vendor directory. In addition, name of core file someway are different from the core names. E.g: core name: "lowrisc:ibex:rv_timer" for rv_timer.core. Thanks.

So I wonder:

• Are there any commands we can use to parse the core tree.
• And if existed, can we move through nodes of tree it quickly (like g-f in vim)

There isn't any built-in command for that, but I agree it would be handy. Especially with IDE integration.

I have a WIP here https://github.com/olofk/fusesoc/blob/filters/fusesoc/filters/dot.py that generates a dot (gv?) file that describes the core tree, so it is definitely possible to add a variant of that, which could also print out all files associated with each core.
