+Checklist for adding internal cell types
+========================================
+
+Things to do right away:
+
+ - Add to kernel/celltypes.h (incl. eval() handling for non-mem cells)
+ - Add to InternalCellChecker::check() in kernel/rtlil.cc
+ - Add to techlibs/common/simlib.v
+ - Add to techlibs/common/techmap.v
+
+Things to do after finalizing the cell interface:
+
+ - Add support to kernel/satgen.h for the new cell type
+ - Add to manual/CHAPTER_CellLib.tex (or just add a fixme to the bottom)
+ - Maybe add support to the Verilog backend for dumping such cells as expression
+
+
+
+Checklist for creating Yosys releases

- git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git
- cd mxe

-How to add unit test
-====================
-
-Unit test brings some advantages, briefly, we can list some of them (reference
-[1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_testing)):
-
-* Tests reduce bugs in new features;
-* Tests reduce bugs in existing features;
-* Tests are good documentation;
-* Tests reduce the cost of change;
-* Tests allow refactoring;
-
-With those advantages in mind, it was required to choose a framework which fits
-well with C/C++ code. Hence, it was chosen (google test)
-[https://github.com/google/googletest], because it is largely used and it is
-relatively easy learn.
-
-Install and configure google test (manually)
---------------------------------------------
-
-In this section, you will see a brief description of how to install google
-test. However, it is strongly recommended that you take a look to the official
-repository (https://github.com/google/googletest) and refers to that if you
-have any problem to install it. Follow the steps below:
-
-* Install: cmake and pthread
-* Clone google test project from: https://github.com/google/googletest and
- enter in the project directory
-* Inside project directory, type:
-
-```
-cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON .
-make
-```
-
-* After compilation, copy all "*.so" inside directory "googlemock" and
- "googlemock/gtest" to "/usr/lib/"
-* Done! Now you can compile your tests.
-
-If you have any problem, go to the official repository to find help.
-
-Ps.: Some distros already have googletest packed. If your distro supports it,
-you can use it instead of compile.
-
-Create new unit test
---------------------
-
-If you want to add new unit tests for Yosys, just follow the steps below:
-
-* Go to directory "yosys/test/unit/"
-* In this directory you can find something similar Yosys's directory structure.
- To create your unit test file you have to follow this pattern:
- fileNameToImplementUnitTest + Test.cc. E.g.: if you want to implement the
- unit test for kernel/celledges.cc, you will need to create a file like this:
- tests/unit/kernel/celledgesTest.cc;
-* Implement your unit test
-
-Run unit test
--------------
-
-To compile and run all unit tests, just go to yosys root directory and type:
-```
-make unit-test
-```
-
-If you want to remove all unit test files, type:
-```
-make clean-unit-test
-```
