Hello Siva, Thanks for the fast response. I read some articles about CGEN and Simn-ML which probably can help me dealing with these files. But I did not get them to work. Do you think that these tools are useful for such purpose ? About the document you have recommended. I have it, but it looks more like a reference. And some parts of it are still incomplete for example RTL section. However, I started changing an existing machine description , but I can't still get of my head that there must be some tools :)).
