Build through Mill

SpinalHDL itself can be built with Mill. This is an alternative to the Sbt build tool that can be found at Introduction_to_Mill. It can compile/test/publishLocal the existing modules. Build through mill can be much faster than Sbt, which is useful while debugging.

mill __.compile
sbt compile # equivalent alternatives

Run all test suites

mill __.test
sbt test # equivalent alternatives

Run a specified test suite

mill tester.test.testOnly spinal.xxxxx.xxxxx
sbt "tester/testOnly spinal.xxxxx.xxxxx" # equivalent alternatives

Run a specified App

mill tester.runMain spinal.xxxxx.xxxxx
sbt "tester/runMain spinal.xxxxx.xxxxx" # equivalent alternatives

Mill can also publish the library to the local ivy2 repository as a dev version.
