The firrtl backend does not support yosys'
$lut

pass.Firrtl does not have a native cell type to represent LUTs, so this PR uses the same mechanism currently employed by the verilog backend (shifting the LUT equation to the right by the amount specified by the LUT inputs).
I'm using the following verilog input circuit and yosys script for demonstration purposes, but this pass has also been tested on a floating-point adder:
The
write_verilog
command emits the following:Before this PR, the following error is emitted by the firrtl backend:
After this PR, the following firrtl is output (note that I have shortened the names and aligned them with what the verilog backend emits through
