Install

brew install verilator

“Install verilator with Homebrew and show me its version”
“Read verilator --help and give me three useful examples for my files”
“Update verilator and tell me what changed”

Can ChatGPT run verilator on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs verilator there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install verilator first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install verilator for you.

Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only: running commands is turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
