NAME

       fmi    - FSM state miminization

ORIGIN

       This  software  belongs	to  the  ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
       Paris, France.

SYNOPSIS

       fmi [-V] input_file  output_file

DESCRIPTION

       Made to run on FSM descriptions, fmi supports the same subset of VHDL as syf (for further informations about this  subset  see  SYF(1)  and
       FSM(5)).   fmi uses a Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams representation and identifies equivalent states.	After this step, it drives
       a new FSM where all equivalent states are replaced by a single state.
       As a restriction fmi doesn't handle don't cares (as this much more difficult).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES


       MBK_WORK_LIB gives the path of the FSM description.  The default value is the current directory.

       MBK_CATA_LIB gives some auxiliary pathes for the FSM descriptions.  The default value is the current directory.

OPTIONS

       -V Sets verbose mode on. Each step of the minimization is displayed on the standard output.

EXAMPLE

	    fmi digi digi_min
