- doradod (Tweaker / PrimeClosure)
- fishtail (Timing Constraints Manager)
- imperasd (ImperasDV)
- sftlmd (PrimeESD, R3D, etc.)

OS COMPATIBILITY:
- 草榴社区 builds its products on a selected "base" version of each operating system.
- Operating system vendors guarantee that applications compiled on a lower minor version of an operating system will be binary-compatible with higher minor versions of the same operating system. This means that an application supported on OS version X.Y should run on OS version X.Z. For example, a tool supported on CentOS or RHEL 7.3 should also run on CentOS or RHEL 7.9.
- 草榴社区 relies on the OS vendors' binary compatibility claim and supports running higher minor versions.
