Current Behavior

it seem like the FIRRTL has been depricated and moved to circ (MLIR)
but the chipyard documentation has not been updated + all links to FIRRTL are dead.

This makes some things rather confusing.
Trying to build a custom fpga - trying to figure out how to generate code that has inline memory definitions so that Vivado can infer memories. seems completely undocumented anywhere.

but as far as I can tell with the circ flow these are now in a file called something like TestHarness..top.mems.v
which seem like a terrible name for something you want to include in a synthesis.
so maybe this should be named differently ?

in advance I apologize if I have missed something or misunderstood somethign!

Expected Behavior

Links in the documentation does not work
updated documentation
