NAME
MOKA - Model checker ancestor 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. Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/ E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr SYNOPSIS
moka [-VDB] fsm_filename ctl_filename DESCRIPTION
moka is a CTL model checker. Made to run on FSM or RTL descriptions, moka supports the same VHDL subset as syf or boom (for further informations about this subset see SYF(1), BOOM(1), FSM(5), VBE(5) ). Nevertheless moka imposes that each register of the behavioral description have the same clock condi- tion and that there are no tristate or multiplexed buses. In particular VHDL type MUX_BIT and WOR_BIT aren't not supported. First of all moka build the fonction transition of the FSM using a Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams representation. It then applies the initial conditions to find the first state (keyword INITIAL and/or RESET_COND in the CTL(5) file format). After it computes a symbolic simulation of the FSM in order to find all reachable states. This computation takes into account the assump- tions conditions (ASSUME keyword in the CTL(5) file format). moka finally verifies one by one each CTL formulae. (see CTL(5) for CTL file format details). CTL OPERATORS
For each CTL sub-expression moka will return the set of states that verifies the formula. For example EX(p) will return the set of reach- able states that verifies EX(p). CTL operators : EX(p) : returns all states which have almost one primary state successor that verifies p. EU(p,q) : returns all states that are the root of almost one path, such that p is true until q is always true. EG(p) : returns all states that are the root of almost one path, such that p is always true. AX(p) : returns all states which have all their primary state successor that verifies p. AU(p,q) : returns all states that are the root of only pathes from which p is true until q is always true. AG(p) : returns all states that are the root of only pathes, such that p is always true. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
MBK_WORK_LIB gives the path for the description and the CTL file. The default value is the current directory. MBK_CATA_LIB gives some auxiliary pathes for the descriptions and the CTL file. The default value is the current directory. OPTIONS
-V Sets verbose mode on. Each step of the model checking is displayed on the standard output. -D Sets debug mode on. Each step of the model checking is detailed on the standard output. In particular all states set are displayed for each CTL sub-expression. -B The input file is a VHDL description using the Alliance VHDL subset (see VBE(5) file format). FSM EXAMPLE
