Architecture file hierarchy

[bgeorge]

I suggest you go through the Bender documentation in the README of this repository (https://github.com/pulp-platform/bender) to learn about how to use bender to assemble the f-lists. The makefiles internally just call Bender with certain flags. Regarding the file hierarchy, here are the three auto-generated files.

• file_dependencies.pdf shows a directed graph containing each RTL source files as a node with edges between the nodes file a requires file b (due to module instantiation, include, pkg usage etc.)
  
• hierarchy.pdf shows the Module instantiation hierarchy as tree graph. Each node (module instance) contains the instance name, module name and evaluated parameter values.
  
• hierarchy.json contains the machine readable module instantiation hierarchy in JSON format including the full relative path of the RTL files corresponding to the modules.
