Is there any way to get the output from a generator or chain generators? about fusesoc

Unfortunately not in a nice way at least. Other people have asked for the same thing, and we actually sat down and tried to figure out a way to chain generators a couple of years ago, but never got to a good conclusion on how to do that.

I have three suggestions for workarounds, in case any of those are of help.

1. Make a larger generator that does both tasks. If you also want to use them separately, perhaps you can structure the code so that it's possible to share the business logic
2. Call FuseSoC from inside the generator. This might become messy with paths to libraries and such, but at least the newer versions of FuseSoC can more easily be integrated directly into Python projects without having to call the command-line
3. If you are using the new flow API in Edalize, you could perhaps define the generators as frontend tools instead. That way you can chain them together in front of the ordinary flow.

Thanks, I'll look at those options.
