Integrated Silicon Terminal

Integrated Silicon Terminal

SiliFlow embeds a multi-session shell terminal directly in the bottom panel so build scripts, make, Git, and CLI EDA checks stay side by side with your RTL.

1. Opening & Toggling

  • Press Ctrl+` (or Ctrl+~ / Ctrl+J).
  • Click the Terminal tab in the bottom panel or the Terminal icon in the bottom Status Bar.

2. Shell Auto-Detection & Multi-Tab Sessions

SiliFlow detects installed shells on your host via get_available_shells:

  • Windows: PowerShell / PowerShell 7, Command Prompt (cmd.exe), and Git Bash (bash.exe) when present.
  • macOS / Linux: Your default login shell (zsh, bash, sh).

Create multiple independent terminal sessions (+), split terminal views, switch shells cleanly, copy command output, and keep working directories automatically synced to your active project root.

3. Automatic EDA Toolchain PATH Injection

On Windows, MSYS2 and OSS CAD Suite binaries are often outside your global OS PATH. Whenever SiliFlow spawns an internal terminal or runner process, it scans managed tool paths (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Siliflow\tools / ~/.siliflow/tools) and common toolchain directories (C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin, C:\oss-cad-suite\bin, etc.) so commands like iverilog -V, verilator --version, yosys -V, slang --version, and sv2v work immediately inside SiliFlow.
