-\title{Yosys Application Note 010: \\ Converting Verilog to BLIF}
-\author{Claire Xenia Wolf \\ November 2013}
-\maketitle
-
-\begin{abstract}
-Verilog-2005 is a powerful Hardware Description Language (HDL) that can be used
-to easily create complex designs from small HDL code. It is the preferred
-method of design entry for many designers\footnote{The other half prefers VHDL,
-a very different but -- of course -- equally powerful language.}.
-
-The Berkeley Logic Interchange Format (BLIF) \cite{blif} is a simple file format for
-exchanging sequential logic between programs. It is easy to generate and
-easy to parse and is therefore the preferred method of design entry for
-many authors of logic synthesis tools.
-
-Yosys \cite{yosys} is a feature-rich
-Open-Source Verilog synthesis tool that can be used to bridge the gap between
-the two file formats. It implements most of Verilog-2005 and thus can be used
-to import modern behavioral Verilog designs into BLIF-based design flows
-without dependencies on proprietary synthesis tools.
-
-The scope of Yosys goes of course far beyond Verilog logic synthesis. But
-it is a useful and important feature and this Application Note will focus
-on this aspect of Yosys.
-\end{abstract}
-
-\section{Installation}
-
-Yosys written in C++ (using features from C++11) and is tested on modern Linux.
-It should compile fine on most UNIX systems with a C++11 compiler. The README
-file contains useful information on building Yosys and its prerequisites.
-
-Yosys is a large and feature-rich program with a couple of dependencies. It is,
-however, possible to deactivate some of the dependencies in the Makefile,
-resulting in features in Yosys becoming unavailable. When problems with building
-Yosys are encountered, a user who is only interested in the features of Yosys
-that are discussed in this Application Note may deactivate {\tt TCL}, {\tt Qt}
-and {\tt MiniSAT} support in the {\tt Makefile} and may opt against building
-{\tt yosys-abc}.
-
-\bigskip
-
-This Application Note is based on GIT Rev. {\tt e216e0e} from 2013-11-23 of
-Yosys \cite{yosys}. The Verilog sources used for the examples are taken from
-yosys-bigsim \cite{bigsim}, a collection of real-world designs used for
-regression testing Yosys.
-
-\section{Getting Started}
-
-We start our tour with the Navr\'e processor from yosys-bigsim. The Navr\'e
-processor \cite{navre} is an Open Source AVR clone. It is a single module ({\tt
-softusb\_navre}) in a single design file ({\tt softusb\_navre.v}). It also is
-using only features that map nicely to the BLIF format, for example it only
-uses synchronous resets.
-
-Converting {\tt softusb\_navre.v} to {\tt softusb\_navre.blif} could not be
-easier:
-
-\begin{figure}[H]
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=sh]
-yosys -o softusb_navre.blif -S softusb_navre.v
-\end{lstlisting}
- \renewcommand{\figurename}{Listing}
-\caption{Calling Yosys without script file}
-\end{figure}
-
-Behind the scenes Yosys is controlled by synthesis scripts that execute
-commands that operate on Yosys' internal state. For example, the {\tt -o
-softusb\_navre.blif} option just adds the command {\tt write\_blif
-softusb\_navre.blif} to the end of the script. Likewise a file on the
-command line -- {\tt softusb\_navre.v} in this case -- adds the command
-{\tt read\_verilog softusb\_navre.v} to the beginning of the
-synthesis script. In both cases the file type is detected from the
-file extension.
-
-Finally the option {\tt -S} instantiates a built-in default synthesis script.
-Instead of using {\tt -S} one could also specify the synthesis commands
-for the script on the command line using the {\tt -p} option, either using
-individual options for each command or by passing one big command string
-with a semicolon-separated list of commands. But in most cases it is more
-convenient to use an actual script file.
-
-\section{Using a Synthesis Script}
-
-With a script file we have better control over Yosys. The following script
-file replicates what the command from the last section did:
-
-\begin{figure}[H]
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=sh]
-read_verilog softusb_navre.v
-hierarchy
-proc; opt; memory; opt; techmap; opt
-write_blif softusb_navre.blif
-\end{lstlisting}
- \renewcommand{\figurename}{Listing}
-\caption{\tt softusb\_navre.ys}
-\end{figure}
-
-The first and last line obviously read the Verilog file and write the BLIF
-file.
-
-\medskip
-
-The 2nd line checks the design hierarchy and instantiates parametrized
-versions of the modules in the design, if necessary. In the case of this
-simple design this is a no-op. However, as a general rule a synthesis script
-should always contain this command as first command after reading the input
-files.
-
-\medskip
-
-The 3rd line does most of the actual work:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item The command {\tt opt} is the Yosys' built-in optimizer. It can perform
-some simple optimizations such as const-folding and removing unconnected parts
-of the design. It is common practice to call opt after each major step in the
-synthesis procedure. In cases where too much optimization is not appreciated
-(for example when analyzing a design), it is recommended to call {\tt clean}
-instead of {\tt opt}.
-\item The command {\tt proc} converts {\it processes} (Yosys' internal
-representation of Verilog {\tt always}- and {\tt initial}-blocks) to circuits
-of multiplexers and storage elements (various types of flip-flops).
-\item The command {\tt memory} converts Yosys' internal representations of
-arrays and array accesses to multi-port block memories, and then maps this
-block memories to address decoders and flip-flops, unless the option {\tt -nomap}
-is used, in which case the multi-port block memories stay in the design
-and can then be mapped to architecture-specific memory primitives using
-other commands.
-\item The command {\tt techmap} turns a high-level circuit with coarse grain
-cells such as wide adders and multipliers to a fine-grain circuit of simple
-logic primitives and single-bit storage elements. The command does that by
-substituting the complex cells by circuits of simpler cells. It is possible
-to provide a custom set of rules for this process in the form of a Verilog
-source file, as we will see in the next section.
-\end{itemize}
-
-Now Yosys can be run with the filename of the synthesis script as argument:
-
-\begin{figure}[H]
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=sh]
-yosys softusb_navre.ys
-\end{lstlisting}
- \renewcommand{\figurename}{Listing}
-\caption{Calling Yosys with script file}
-\end{figure}
-
-\medskip
-
-Now that we are using a synthesis script we can easily modify how Yosys
-synthesizes the design. The first thing we should customize is the
-call to the {\tt hierarchy} command:
-
-Whenever it is known that there are no implicit blackboxes in the design, i.e.
-modules that are referenced but are not defined, the {\tt hierarchy} command
-should be called with the {\tt -check} option. This will then cause synthesis
-to fail when implicit blackboxes are found in the design.
-
-The 2nd thing we can improve regarding the {\tt hierarchy} command is that we
-can tell it the name of the top level module of the design hierarchy. It will
-then automatically remove all modules that are not referenced from this top
-level module.
-
-\medskip
-
-For many designs it is also desired to optimize the encodings for the finite
-state machines (FSMs) in the design. The {\tt fsm} command finds FSMs, extracts
-them, performs some basic optimizations and then generate a circuit from
-the extracted and optimized description. It would also be possible to tell
-the {\tt fsm} command to leave the FSMs in their extracted form, so they can be
-further processed using custom commands. But in this case we don't want that.
-
-\medskip
-
-So now we have the final synthesis script for generating a BLIF file
-for the Navr\'e CPU:
-
-\begin{figure}[H]
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=sh]
-read_verilog softusb_navre.v
-hierarchy -check -top softusb_navre
-proc; opt; memory; opt; fsm; opt; techmap; opt
-write_blif softusb_navre.blif
-\end{lstlisting}
- \renewcommand{\figurename}{Listing}
-\caption{{\tt softusb\_navre.ys} (improved)}
-\end{figure}
-
-\section{Advanced Example: The Amber23 ARMv2a CPU}
-
-Our 2nd example is the Amber23 \cite{amber}
-ARMv2a CPU. Once again we base our example on the Verilog code that is included
-in yosys-bigsim \cite{bigsim}.

-\label{aber23.ys}
-\end{figure}
-
-The problem with this core is that it contains no dedicated reset logic.
-Instead the coding techniques shown in Listing~\ref{glob_arst} are used to
-define reset values for the global asynchronous reset in an FPGA
-implementation. This design can not be expressed in BLIF as it is. Instead we
-need to use a synthesis script that transforms this form to synchronous resets that
-can be expressed in BLIF.
-
-(Note that there is no problem if this coding techniques are used to model
-ROM, where the register is initialized using this syntax but is never updated
-otherwise.)
-
-\medskip
-
-Listing~\ref{aber23.ys} shows the synthesis script for the Amber23 core. In
-line 17 the {\tt add} command is used to add a 1-bit wide global input signal
-with the name {\tt globrst}. That means that an input with that name is added
-to each module in the design hierarchy and then all module instantiations are
-altered so that this new signal is connected throughout the whole design
-hierarchy.

-
-In line 18 the {\tt proc} command is called. But in this script the signal name
-{\tt globrst} is passed to the command as a global reset signal for resetting
-the registers to their assigned initial values.
-
-Finally in line 19 the {\tt techmap} command is used to replace all instances
-of flip-flops with asynchronous resets with flip-flops with synchronous resets.
-The map file used for this is shown in Listing~\ref{adff2dff.v}. Note how the
-{\tt techmap\_celltype} attribute is used in line 1 to tell the techmap command
-which cells to replace in the design, how the {\tt \_TECHMAP\_FAIL\_} wire in
-lines 15 and 16 (which evaluates to a constant value) determines if the
-parameter set is compatible with this replacement circuit, and how the {\tt
-\_TECHMAP\_DO\_} wire in line 13 provides a mini synthesis-script to be used to
-process this cell.

-\section{Verification of the Amber23 CPU}
-
-The BLIF file for the Amber23 core, generated using Listings~\ref{aber23.ys}
-and \ref{adff2dff.v} and the version of the Amber23 RTL source that is bundled
-with yosys-bigsim, was verified using the test-bench from yosys-bigsim.
-It successfully executed the program shown in Listing~\ref{sieve} in the
-test-bench.
-
-For simulation the BLIF file was converted back to Verilog using ABC
-\cite{ABC}. So this test includes the successful transformation of the BLIF
-file into ABC's internal format as well.
-
-The only thing left to write about the simulation itself is that it probably
-was one of the most energy inefficient and time consuming ways of successfully
-calculating the first 31 primes the author has ever conducted.
-
-\section{Limitations}
-
-At the time of this writing Yosys does not support multi-dimensional memories,
-does not support writing to individual bits of array elements, does not
-support initialization of arrays with {\tt \$readmemb} and {\tt \$readmemh},
-and has only limited support for tristate logic, to name just a few
-limitations.
-
-That being said, Yosys can synthesize an overwhelming majority of real-world
-Verilog RTL code. The remaining cases can usually be modified to be compatible
-with Yosys quite easily.
-
-The various designs in yosys-bigsim are a good place to look for examples
-of what is within the capabilities of Yosys.
-
-\section{Conclusion}
-
-Yosys is a feature-rich Verilog-2005 synthesis tool. It has many uses, but
-one is to provide an easy gateway from high-level Verilog code to low-level
-logic circuits.
-
-The command line option {\tt -S} can be used to quickly synthesize Verilog
-code to BLIF files without a hassle.
-
-With custom synthesis scripts it becomes possible to easily perform high-level
-optimizations, such as re-encoding FSMs. In some extreme cases, such as the
-Amber23 ARMv2 CPU, the more advanced Yosys features can be used to change a
-design to fit a certain need without actually touching the RTL code.

-\title{Yosys Application Note 011: \\ Interactive Design Investigation}
-\author{Claire Xenia Wolf \\ Original Version December 2013}
-\maketitle
-
-\begin{abstract}
-Yosys \cite{yosys} can be a great environment for building custom synthesis
-flows. It can also be an excellent tool for teaching and learning Verilog based
-RTL synthesis. In both applications it is of great importance to be able to
-analyze the designs it produces easily.
-
-This Yosys application note covers the generation of circuit diagrams with the
-Yosys {\tt show} command, the selection of interesting parts of the circuit
-using the {\tt select} command, and briefly discusses advanced investigation
-commands for evaluating circuits and solving SAT problems.
-\end{abstract}
-
-\section{Installation and Prerequisites}
-
-This Application Note is based on the Yosys \cite{yosys} GIT Rev. {\tt 2b90ba1} from
-2013-12-08. The {\tt README} file covers how to install Yosys. The
-{\tt show} command requires a working installation of GraphViz \cite{graphviz}
-and \cite{xdot} for generating the actual circuit diagrams.
-
-\section{Overview}
-
-This application note is structured as follows:
-
-Sec.~\ref{intro_show} introduces the {\tt show} command and explains the
-symbols used in the circuit diagrams generated by it.
-
-Sec.~\ref{navigate} introduces additional commands used to navigate in the
-design, select portions of the design, and print additional information on
-the elements in the design that are not contained in the circuit diagrams.
-
-Sec.~\ref{poke} introduces commands to evaluate the design and solve SAT
-problems within the design.
-
-Sec.~\ref{conclusion} concludes the document and summarizes the key points.
-

-\caption{Output of the three {\tt show} commands from Fig.~\ref{example_src}}
-\label{example_out}
-\end{figure}
-
-The {\tt show} command generates a circuit diagram for the design in its
-current state. Various options can be used to change the appearance of the
-circuit diagram, set the name and format for the output file, and so forth.
-When called without any special options, it saves the circuit diagram in
-a temporary file and launches {\tt xdot} to display the diagram.
-Subsequent calls to {\tt show} re-use the {\tt xdot} instance
-(if still running).
-
-\subsection{A simple circuit}
-
-Fig.~\ref{example_src} shows a simple synthesis script and a Verilog file that
-demonstrate the usage of {\tt show} in a simple setting. Note that {\tt show}
-is called with the {\tt -pause} option, that halts execution of the Yosys
-script until the user presses the Enter key. The {\tt show -pause} command
-also allows the user to enter an interactive shell to further investigate the
-circuit before continuing synthesis.
-
-So this script, when executed, will show the design after each of the three
-synthesis commands. The generated circuit diagrams are shown in Fig.~\ref{example_out}.
-
-The first diagram (from top to bottom) shows the design directly after being
-read by the Verilog front-end. Input and output ports are displayed as
-octagonal shapes. Cells are displayed as rectangles with inputs on the left
-and outputs on the right side. The cell labels are two lines long: The first line
-contains a unique identifier for the cell and the second line contains the cell
-type. Internal cell types are prefixed with a dollar sign. The Yosys manual
-contains a chapter on the internal cell library used in Yosys.
-
-Constants are shown as ellipses with the constant value as label. The syntax
-{\tt <bit\_width>'<bits>} is used for for constants that are not 32-bit wide
-and/or contain bits that are not 0 or 1 (i.e. {\tt x} or {\tt z}). Ordinary
-32-bit constants are written using decimal numbers.
-
-Single-bit signals are shown as thin arrows pointing from the driver to the
-load. Signals that are multiple bits wide are shown as think arrows.
-
-Finally {\it processes\/} are shown in boxes with round corners. Processes
-are Yosys' internal representation of the decision-trees and synchronization
-events modelled in a Verilog {\tt always}-block. The label reads {\tt PROC}
-followed by a unique identifier in the first line and contains the source code
-location of the original {\tt always}-block in the 2nd line. Note how the
-multiplexer from the {\tt ?:}-expression is represented as a {\tt \$mux} cell
-but the multiplexer from the {\tt if}-statement is yet still hidden within the
-process.
-
-\medskip
-
-The {\tt proc} command transforms the process from the first diagram into a
-multiplexer and a d-type flip-flip, which brings us to the 2nd diagram.
-
-The Rhombus shape to the right is a dangling wire. (Wire nodes are only shown
-if they are dangling or have ``public'' names, for example names assigned from
-the Verilog input.) Also note that the design now contains two instances of a
-{\tt BUF}-node. This are artefacts left behind by the {\tt proc}-command. It is
-quite usual to see such artefacts after calling commands that perform changes
-in the design, as most commands only care about doing the transformation in the
-least complicated way, not about cleaning up after them. The next call to {\tt
-clean} (or {\tt opt}, which includes {\tt clean} as one of its operations) will
-clean up this artefacts. This operation is so common in Yosys scripts that it
-can simply be abbreviated with the {\tt ;;} token, which doubles as
-separator for commands. Unless one wants to specifically analyze this artefacts
-left behind some operations, it is therefore recommended to always call {\tt clean}
-before calling {\tt show}.
-
-\medskip
-
-In this script we directly call {\tt opt} as next step, which finally leads us to
-the 3rd diagram in Fig.~\ref{example_out}. Here we see that the {\tt opt} command
-not only has removed the artifacts left behind by {\tt proc}, but also determined
-correctly that it can remove the first {\tt \$mux} cell without changing the behavior
-of the circuit.

-\label{splitnets_libfile}
-\end{figure}
-
-\subsection{Break-out boxes for signal vectors}
-
-As has been indicated by the last example, Yosys is can manage signal vectors (aka.
-multi-bit wires or buses) as native objects. This provides great advantages
-when analyzing circuits that operate on wide integers. But it also introduces
-some additional complexity when the individual bits of of a signal vector
-are accessed. The example show in Fig.~\ref{splice_dia} and \ref{splice_src}
-demonstrates how such circuits are visualized by the {\tt show} command.
-
-The key elements in understanding this circuit diagram are of course the boxes
-with round corners and rows labeled {\tt <MSB\_LEFT>:<LSB\_LEFT> -- <MSB\_RIGHT>:<LSB\_RIGHT>}.
-Each of this boxes has one signal per row on one side and a common signal for all rows on the
-other side. The {\tt <MSB>:<LSB>} tuples specify which bits of the signals are broken out
-and connected. So the top row of the box connecting the signals {\tt a} and {\tt x} indicates
-that the bit 0 (i.e. the range 0:0) from signal {\tt a} is connected to bit 1 (i.e. the range
-1:1) of signal {\tt x}.
-
-Lines connecting such boxes together and lines connecting such boxes to cell
-ports have a slightly different look to emphasise that they are not actual signal
-wires but a necessity of the graphical representation. This distinction seems
-like a technicality, until one wants to debug a problem related to the way
-Yosys internally represents signal vectors, for example when writing custom
-Yosys commands.
-
-\subsection{Gate level netlists}
-
-Finally Fig.~\ref{splitnets_libfile} shows two common pitfalls when working
-with designs mapped to a cell library. The top figure has two problems: First
-Yosys did not have access to the cell library when this diagram was generated,
-resulting in all cell ports defaulting to being inputs. This is why all ports
-are drawn on the left side the cells are awkwardly arranged in a large column.
-Secondly the two-bit vector {\tt y} requires breakout-boxes for its individual
-bits, resulting in an unnecessary complex diagram.
-
-For the 2nd diagram Yosys has been given a description of the cell library as
-Verilog file containing blackbox modules. There are two ways to load cell
-descriptions into Yosys: First the Verilog file for the cell library can be
-passed directly to the {\tt show} command using the {\tt -lib <filename>}
-option. Secondly it is possible to load cell libraries into the design with
-the {\tt read\_verilog -lib <filename>} command. The 2nd method has the great
-advantage that the library only needs to be loaded once and can then be used
-in all subsequent calls to the {\tt show} command.
-
-In addition to that, the 2nd diagram was generated after {\tt splitnet -ports}
-was run on the design. This command splits all signal vectors into individual
-signal bits, which is often desirable when looking at gate-level circuits. The
-{\tt -ports} option is required to also split module ports. Per default the
-command only operates on interior signals.
-
-\subsection{Miscellaneous notes}
-
-Per default the {\tt show} command outputs a temporary {\tt dot} file and launches
-{\tt xdot} to display it. The options {\tt -format}, {\tt -viewer}
-and {\tt -prefix} can be used to change format, viewer and filename prefix.
-Note that the {\tt pdf} and {\tt ps} format are the only formats that support
-plotting multiple modules in one run.
-
-In densely connected circuits it is sometimes hard to keep track of the
-individual signal wires. For this cases it can be useful to call {\tt show}
-with the {\tt -colors <integer>} argument, which randomly assigns colors to the
-nets. The integer (> 0) is used as seed value for the random color
-assignments. Sometimes it is necessary it try some values to find an assignment
-of colors that looks good.
-
-The command {\tt help show} prints a complete listing of all options supported
-by the {\tt show} command.
-
-\section{Navigating the design}
-\label{navigate}
-
-Plotting circuit diagrams for entire modules in the design brings us only helps
-in simple cases. For complex modules the generated circuit diagrams are just stupidly big
-and are no help at all. In such cases one first has to select the relevant
-portions of the circuit.
-
-In addition to {\it what\/} to display one also needs to carefully decide
-{\it when\/} to display it, with respect to the synthesis flow. In general
-it is a good idea to troubleshoot a circuit in the earliest state in which
-a problem can be reproduced. So if, for example, the internal state before calling
-the {\tt techmap} command already fails to verify, it is better to troubleshoot
-the coarse-grain version of the circuit before {\tt techmap} than the gate-level
-circuit after {\tt techmap}.
-
-\medskip
-
-Note: It is generally recommended to verify the internal state of a design by
-writing it to a Verilog file using {\tt write\_verilog -noexpr} and using the
-simulation models from {\tt simlib.v} and {\tt simcells.v} from the Yosys data
-directory (as printed by {\tt yosys-config -{}-datdir}).
-

-\end{lstlisting}
-\caption{Output of {\tt dump \$2} using the design from Fig.~\ref{example_src} and Fig.~\ref{example_out}}
-\label{dump2}
-\end{figure}
-
-Once the right state within the synthesis flow for debugging the circuit has
-been identified, it is recommended to simply add the {\tt shell} command
-to the matching place in the synthesis script. This command will stop the
-synthesis at the specified moment and go to shell mode, where the user can
-interactively enter commands.
-
-For most cases, the shell will start with the whole design selected (i.e. when
-the synthesis script does not already narrow the selection). The command {\tt
-ls} can now be used to create a list of all modules. The command {\tt cd} can
-be used to switch to one of the modules (type {\tt cd ..} to switch back). Now
-the {\tt ls} command lists the objects within that module. Fig.~\ref{lscd}
-demonstrates this using the design from Fig.~\ref{example_src}.
-
-There is a thing to note in Fig.~\ref{lscd}: We can see that the cell names
-from Fig.~\ref{example_out} are just abbreviations of the actual cell names,
-namely the part after the last dollar-sign. Most auto-generated names (the ones
-starting with a dollar sign) are rather long and contains some additional
-information on the origin of the named object. But in most cases those names
-can simply be abbreviated using the last part.
-
-Usually all interactive work is done with one module selected using the {\tt cd}
-command. But it is also possible to work from the design-context ({\tt cd ..}). In
-this case all object names must be prefixed with {\tt <module\_name>/}. For
-example {\tt a*/b*} would refer to all objects whose names start with {\tt b} from
-all modules whose names start with {\tt a}.
-
-The {\tt dump} command can be used to print all information about an object.
-For example {\tt dump \$2} will print Fig.~\ref{dump2}. This can for example
-be useful to determine the names of nets connected to cells, as the net-names
-are usually suppressed in the circuit diagram if they are auto-generated.
-
-For the remainder of this document we will assume that the commands are run from
-module-context and not design-context.
-
-\subsection{Working with selections}
-
-\begin{figure}[t]
-\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{APPNOTE_011_Design_Investigation/example_03.pdf}
-\caption{Output of {\tt show} after {\tt select \$2} or {\tt select t:\$add}
-(see also Fig.~\ref{example_out})}
-\label{seladd}
-\end{figure}
-
-When a module is selected using the {\tt cd} command, all commands (with a few
-exceptions, such as the {\tt read\_*} and {\tt write\_*} commands) operate
-only on the selected module. This can also be useful for synthesis scripts
-where different synthesis strategies should be applied to different modules
-in the design.
-
-But for most interactive work we want to further narrow the set of selected
-objects. This can be done using the {\tt select} command.
-
-For example, if the command {\tt select \$2} is executed, a subsequent {\tt show}
-command will yield the diagram shown in Fig.~\ref{seladd}. Note that the nets are
-now displayed in ellipses. This indicates that they are not selected, but only
-shown because the diagram contains a cell that is connected to the net. This
-of course makes no difference for the circuit that is shown, but it can be a useful
-information when manipulating selections.
-
-Objects can not only be selected by their name but also by other properties.
-For example {\tt select t:\$add} will select all cells of type {\tt \$add}. In
-this case this is also yields the diagram shown in Fig.~\ref{seladd}.
-
-\begin{figure}[b]
-\lstinputlisting{APPNOTE_011_Design_Investigation/foobaraddsub.v}
-\caption{Test module for operations on selections}
-\label{foobaraddsub}
-\end{figure}
-
-The output of {\tt help select} contains a complete syntax reference for
-matching different properties.
-
-Many commands can operate on explicit selections. For example the command {\tt
-dump t:\$add} will print information on all {\tt \$add} cells in the active
-module. Whenever a command has {\tt [selection]} as last argument in its usage
-help, this means that it will use the engine behind the {\tt select} command
-to evaluate additional arguments and use the resulting selection instead of
-the selection created by the last {\tt select} command.
-
-Normally the {\tt select} command overwrites a previous selection. The
-commands {\tt select -add} and {\tt select -del} can be used to add
-or remove objects from the current selection.
-
-The command {\tt select -clear} can be used to reset the selection to the
-default, which is a complete selection of everything in the current module.
-
-\subsection{Operations on selections}
-
-\begin{figure}[t]
-\lstinputlisting{APPNOTE_011_Design_Investigation/sumprod.v}
-\caption{Another test module for operations on selections}
-\label{sumprod}
-\end{figure}
-
-\begin{figure}[b]
-\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{APPNOTE_011_Design_Investigation/sumprod_00.pdf}
-\caption{Output of {\tt show a:sumstuff} on Fig.~\ref{sumprod}}
-\label{sumprod_00}
-\end{figure}
-
-The {\tt select} command is actually much more powerful than it might seem on
-the first glimpse. When it is called with multiple arguments, each argument is
-evaluated and pushed separately on a stack. After all arguments have been
-processed it simply creates the union of all elements on the stack. So the
-following command will select all {\tt \$add} cells and all objects with
-the {\tt foo} attribute set:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-select t:$add a:foo
-\end{verbatim}
-
-(Try this with the design shown in Fig.~\ref{foobaraddsub}. Use the {\tt
-select -list} command to list the current selection.)
-
-In many cases simply adding more and more stuff to the selection is an
-ineffective way of selecting the interesting part of the design. Special
-arguments can be used to combine the elements on the stack.
-For example the {\tt \%i} arguments pops the last two elements from
-the stack, intersects them, and pushes the result back on the stack. So the
-following command will select all {\$add} cells that have the {\tt foo}
-attribute set:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-select t:$add a:foo %i
-\end{verbatim}
-
-The listing in Fig.~\ref{sumprod} uses the Yosys non-standard {\tt \{* ... *\}}
-syntax to set the attribute {\tt sumstuff} on all cells generated by the first
-assign statement. (This works on arbitrary large blocks of Verilog code an
-can be used to mark portions of code for analysis.)
-
-Selecting {\tt a:sumstuff} in this module will yield the circuit diagram shown
-in Fig.~\ref{sumprod_00}. As only the cells themselves are selected, but not
-the temporary wire {\tt \$1\_Y}, the two adders are shown as two disjunct
-parts. This can be very useful for global signals like clock and reset signals: just
-unselect them using a command such as {\tt select -del clk rst} and each cell
-using them will get its own net label.
-
-In this case however we would like to see the cells connected properly. This
-can be achieved using the {\tt \%x} action, that broadens the selection, i.e.
-for each selected wire it selects all cells connected to the wire and vice
-versa. So {\tt show a:sumstuff \%x} yields the diagram shown in Fig.~\ref{sumprod_01}.
-
-\begin{figure}[t]
-\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{APPNOTE_011_Design_Investigation/sumprod_01.pdf}
-\caption{Output of {\tt show a:sumstuff \%x} on Fig.~\ref{sumprod}}
-\label{sumprod_01}
-\end{figure}
-
-\subsection{Selecting logic cones}
-
-Fig.~\ref{sumprod_01} shows what is called the {\it input cone\/} of {\tt sum}, i.e.
-all cells and signals that are used to generate the signal {\tt sum}. The {\tt \%ci}
-action can be used to select the input cones of all object in the top selection
-in the stack maintained by the {\tt select} command.
-
-As the {\tt \%x} action, this commands broadens the selection by one ``step''. But
-this time the operation only works against the direction of data flow. That means,
-wires only select cells via output ports and cells only select wires via input ports.
-
-Fig.~\ref{select_prod} show the sequence of diagrams generated by the following
-commands:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-show prod
-show prod %ci
-show prod %ci %ci
-show prod %ci %ci %ci
-\end{verbatim}
-
-When selecting many levels of logic, repeating {\tt \%ci} over and over again
-can be a bit dull. So there is a shortcut for that: the number of iterations
-can be appended to the action. So for example the action {\tt \%ci3} is
-identical to performing the {\tt \%ci} action three times.
-
-The action {\tt \%ci*} performs the {\tt \%ci} action over and over again until
-it has no effect anymore.
-

-
-\medskip
-
-In most cases there are certain cell types and/or ports that should not be considered for the {\tt \%ci}
-action, or we only want to follow certain cell types and/or ports. This can be achieved using additional
-patterns that can be appended to the {\tt \%ci} action.
-
-Lets consider the design from Fig.~\ref{memdemo_src}. It serves no purpose other than being a non-trivial
-circuit for demonstrating some of the advanced Yosys features. We synthesize the circuit using {\tt proc;
-opt; memory; opt} and change to the {\tt memdemo} module with {\tt cd memdemo}. If we type {\tt show}
-now we see the diagram shown in Fig.~\ref{memdemo_00}.

-\end{figure*}
-
-But maybe we are only interested in the tree of multiplexers that select the
-output value. In order to get there, we would start by just showing the output signal
-and its immediate predecessors:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-show y %ci2
-\end{verbatim}
-
-From this we would learn that {\tt y} is driven by a {\tt \$dff cell}, that
-{\tt y} is connected to the output port {\tt Q}, that the {\tt clk} signal goes
-into the {\tt CLK} input port of the cell, and that the data comes from a
-auto-generated wire into the input {\tt D} of the flip-flop cell.
-
-As we are not interested in the clock signal we add an additional pattern to the {\tt \%ci}
-action, that tells it to only follow ports {\tt Q} and {\tt D} of {\tt \$dff} cells:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-show y %ci2:+$dff[Q,D]
-\end{verbatim}
-
-To add a pattern we add a colon followed by the pattern to the {\tt \%ci}
-action. The pattern it self starts with {\tt -} or {\tt +}, indicating if it is
-an include or exclude pattern, followed by an optional comma separated list
-of cell types, followed by an optional comma separated list of port names in
-square brackets.
-
-Since we know that the only cell considered in this case is a {\tt \$dff} cell,
-we could as well only specify the port names:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-show y %ci2:+[Q,D]
-\end{verbatim}
-
-Or we could decide to tell the {\tt \%ci} action to not follow the {\tt CLK} input:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-show y %ci2:-[CLK]
-\end{verbatim}
-
-\begin{figure}[b]
-\includegraphics[width=\linewidth,trim=0 0cm 0 0cm]{APPNOTE_011_Design_Investigation/memdemo_01.pdf} \\
-\caption{Output of {\tt show y \%ci2:+\$dff[Q,D] \%ci*:-\$mux[S]:-\$dff}}
-\label{memdemo_01}
-\end{figure}
-
-Next we would investigate the next logic level by adding another {\tt \%ci2} to
-the command:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-show y %ci2:-[CLK] %ci2
-\end{verbatim}
-
-From this we would learn that the next cell is a {\tt \$mux} cell and we would add additional
-pattern to narrow the selection on the path we are interested. In the end we would end up
-with a command such as
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-show y %ci2:+$dff[Q,D] %ci*:-$mux[S]:-$dff
-\end{verbatim}
-
-in which the first {\tt \%ci} jumps over the initial d-type flip-flop and the
-2nd action selects the entire input cone without going over multiplexer select
-inputs and flip-flop cells. The diagram produces by this command is shown in
-Fig.~\ref{memdemo_01}.
-
-\medskip
-
-Similar to {\tt \%ci} exists an action {\tt \%co} to select output cones that
-accepts the same syntax for pattern and repetition. The {\tt \%x} action mentioned
-previously also accepts this advanced syntax.
-
-This actions for traversing the circuit graph, combined with the actions for
-boolean operations such as intersection ({\tt \%i}) and difference ({\tt \%d})
-are powerful tools for extracting the relevant portions of the circuit under
-investigation.
-
-See {\tt help select} for a complete list of actions available in selections.
-
-\subsection{Storing and recalling selections}
-
-The current selection can be stored in memory with the command {\tt select -set
-<name>}. It can later be recalled using {\tt select @<name>}. In fact, the {\tt
-@<name>} expression pushes the stored selection on the stack maintained by the
-{\tt select} command. So for example
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-select @foo @bar %i
-\end{verbatim}
-
-will select the intersection between the stored selections {\tt foo} and {\tt bar}.
-
-\medskip
-
-In larger investigation efforts it is highly recommended to maintain a script that
-sets up relevant selections, so they can easily be recalled, for example when
-Yosys needs to be re-run after a design or source code change.
-
-The {\tt history} command can be used to list all recent interactive commands.
-This feature can be useful for creating such a script from the commands used in
-an interactive session.
-
-\section{Advanced investigation techniques}
-\label{poke}
-
-When working with very large modules, it is often not enough to just select the
-interesting part of the module. Instead it can be useful to extract the
-interesting part of the circuit into a separate module. This can for example be
-useful if one wants to run a series of synthesis commands on the critical part
-of the module and wants to carefully read all the debug output created by the
-commands in order to spot a problem. This kind of troubleshooting is much easier
-if the circuit under investigation is encapsulated in a separate module.
-
-Fig.~\ref{submod} shows how the {\tt submod} command can be used to split the
-circuit from Fig.~\ref{memdemo_src} and \ref{memdemo_00} into its components.
-The {\tt -name} option is used to specify the name of the new module and
-also the name of the new cell in the current module.

-\subsection{Evaluation of combinatorial circuits}
-
-The {\tt eval} command can be used to evaluate combinatorial circuits.
-For example (see Fig.~\ref{submod} for the circuit diagram of {\tt selstage}):
-
-{\scriptsize
-\begin{verbatim}
- yosys [selstage]> eval -set s2,s1 4'b1001 -set d 4'hc -show n2 -show n1
-
- 9. Executing EVAL pass (evaluate the circuit given an input).
- Full command line: eval -set s2,s1 4'b1001 -set d 4'hc -show n2 -show n1
- Eval result: \n2 = 2'10.
- Eval result: \n1 = 2'10.
-\end{verbatim}
-\par}
-
-So the {\tt -set} option is used to set input values and the {\tt -show} option
-is used to specify the nets to evaluate. If no {\tt -show} option is specified,
-all selected output ports are used per default.
-
-If a necessary input value is not given, an error is produced. The option
-{\tt -set-undef} can be used to instead set all unspecified input nets to
-undef ({\tt x}).
-
-The {\tt -table} option can be used to create a truth table. For example:
-
-{\scriptsize
-\begin{verbatim}
- yosys [selstage]> eval -set-undef -set d[3:1] 0 -table s1,d[0]
-
- 10. Executing EVAL pass (evaluate the circuit given an input).
- Full command line: eval -set-undef -set d[3:1] 0 -table s1,d[0]
-
- \s1 \d [0] | \n1 \n2
- ---- ------ | ---- ----
- 2'00 1'0 | 2'00 2'00
- 2'00 1'1 | 2'xx 2'00
- 2'01 1'0 | 2'00 2'00
- 2'01 1'1 | 2'xx 2'01
- 2'10 1'0 | 2'00 2'00
- 2'10 1'1 | 2'xx 2'10
- 2'11 1'0 | 2'00 2'00
- 2'11 1'1 | 2'xx 2'11
-
- Assumed undef (x) value for the following signals: \s2
-\end{verbatim}
-}
-
-Note that the {\tt eval} command (as well as the {\tt sat} command discussed in
-the next sections) does only operate on flattened modules. It can not analyze
-signals that are passed through design hierarchy levels. So the {\tt flatten}
-command must be used on modules that instantiate other modules before this
-commands can be applied.

-\caption{Experiments with the miter circuit from Fig.~\ref{primetest}. The first attempt of proving that 31
-is prime failed because the SAT solver found a creative way of factorizing 31 using integer overflow.}
-\label{primesat}
-\end{figure*}
-
-Often the opposite of the {\tt eval} command is needed, i.e. the circuits
-output is given and we want to find the matching input signals. For small
-circuits with only a few input bits this can be accomplished by trying all
-possible input combinations, as it is done by the {\tt eval -table} command.
-For larger circuits however, Yosys provides the {\tt sat} command that uses
-a SAT \cite{CircuitSAT} solver \cite{MiniSAT} to solve this kind of problems.
-
-The {\tt sat} command works very similar to the {\tt eval} command. The main
-difference is that it is now also possible to set output values and find the
-corresponding input values. For Example:
-
-{\scriptsize
-\begin{verbatim}
- yosys [selstage]> sat -show s1,s2,d -set s1 s2 -set n2,n1 4'b1001
-

- Final constraint equation: { \n2 \n1 \s1 } = { 4'1001 \s2 }
- Imported 3 cells to SAT database.
- Import show expression: { \s1 \s2 \d }

- Signal Name Dec Hex Bin
- -------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------------
- \d 9 9 1001
- \s1 0 0 00
- \s2 0 0 00
-\end{verbatim}
-}
-
-Note that the {\tt sat} command supports signal names in both arguments
-to the {\tt -set} option. In the above example we used {\tt -set s1 s2}
-to constraint {\tt s1} and {\tt s2} to be equal. When more complex
-constraints are needed, a wrapper circuit must be constructed that
-checks the constraints and signals if the constraint was met using an
-extra output port, which then can be forced to a value using the {\tt
--set} option. (Such a circuit that contains the circuit under test
-plus additional constraint checking circuitry is called a {\it miter\/}
-circuit.)
-
-Fig.~\ref{primetest} shows a miter circuit that is supposed to be used as a
-prime number test. If {\tt ok} is 1 for all input values {\tt a} and {\tt b}
-for a given {\tt p}, then {\tt p} is prime, or at least that is the idea.
-
-The Yosys shell session shown in Fig.~\ref{primesat} demonstrates that SAT
-solvers can even find the unexpected solutions to a problem: Using integer
-overflow there actually is a way of ``factorizing'' 31. The clean solution
-would of course be to perform the test in 32 bits, for example by replacing
-{\tt p != a*b} in the miter with {\tt p != \{16'd0,a\}*b}, or by using a
-temporary variable for the 32 bit product {\tt a*b}. But as 31 fits well into
-8 bits (and as the purpose of this document is to show off Yosys features)
-we can also simply force the upper 8 bits of {\tt a} and {\tt b} to zero for
-the {\tt sat} call, as is done in the second command in Fig.~\ref{primesat}
-(line 31).
-
-The {\tt -prove} option used in this example works similar to {\tt -set}, but
-tries to find a case in which the two arguments are not equal. If such a case is
-not found, the property is proven to hold for all inputs that satisfy the other
-constraints.
-
-It might be worth noting, that SAT solvers are not particularly efficient at
-factorizing large numbers. But if a small factorization problem occurs as
-part of a larger circuit problem, the Yosys SAT solver is perfectly capable
-of solving it.

-\caption{Solving a sequential SAT problem in the {\tt memdemo} module from Fig.~\ref{memdemo_src}.}
-\label{memdemo_sat}
-\end{figure}
-
-The SAT solver functionality in Yosys can not only be used to solve
-combinatorial problems, but can also solve sequential problems. Let's consider
-the entire {\tt memdemo} module from Fig.~\ref{memdemo_src} and suppose we
-want to know which sequence of input values for {\tt d} will cause the output
-{\tt y} to produce the sequence 1, 2, 3 from any initial state.
-Fig.~\ref{memdemo_sat} show the solution to this question, as produced by
-the following command:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
- sat -seq 6 -show y -show d -set-init-undef \
- -max_undef -set-at 4 y 1 -set-at 5 y 2 -set-at 6 y 3
-\end{verbatim}
-
-The {\tt -seq 6} option instructs the {\tt sat} command to solve a sequential
-problem in 6 time steps. (Experiments with lower number of steps have show that
-at least 3 cycles are necessary to bring the circuit in a state from which
-the sequence 1, 2, 3 can be produced.)
-
-The {\tt -set-init-undef} option tells the {\tt sat} command to initialize
-all registers to the undef ({\tt x}) state. The way the {\tt x} state
-is treated in Verilog will ensure that the solution will work for any
-initial state.
-
-The {\tt -max\_undef} option instructs the {\tt sat} command to find a solution
-with a maximum number of undefs. This way we can see clearly which inputs bits
-are relevant to the solution.
-
-Finally the three {\tt -set-at} options add constraints for the {\tt y}
-signal to play the 1, 2, 3 sequence, starting with time step 4.
-
-It is not surprising that the solution sets {\tt d = 0} in the first step, as
-this is the only way of setting the {\tt s1} and {\tt s2} registers to a known
-value. The input values for the other steps are a bit harder to work out
-manually, but the SAT solver finds the correct solution in an instant.
-
-\medskip
-
-There is much more to write about the {\tt sat} command. For example, there is
-a set of options that can be used to performs sequential proofs using temporal
-induction \cite{tip}. The command {\tt help sat} can be used to print a list
-of all options with short descriptions of their functions.
-
-\section{Conclusion}
-\label{conclusion}
-
-Yosys provides a wide range of functions to analyze and investigate designs. For
-many cases it is sufficient to simply display circuit diagrams, maybe use some
-additional commands to narrow the scope of the circuit diagrams to the interesting
-parts of the circuit. But some cases require more than that. For this applications
-Yosys provides commands that can be used to further inspect the behavior of the
-circuit, either by evaluating which output values are generated from certain input values
-({\tt eval}) or by evaluation which input values and initial conditions can result
-in a certain behavior at the outputs ({\tt sat}). The SAT command can even be used
-to prove (or disprove) theorems regarding the circuit, in more advanced cases
-with the additional help of a miter circuit.
-
-This features can be powerful tools for the circuit designer using Yosys as a
-utility for building circuits and the software developer using Yosys as a
-framework for new algorithms alike.

-\title{Yosys Application Note 012: \\ Converting Verilog to BTOR}
-\author{Ahmed Irfan and Claire Xenia Wolf \\ April 2015}
-\maketitle
-
-\begin{abstract}
-Verilog-2005 is a powerful Hardware Description Language (HDL) that
-can be used to easily create complex designs from small HDL code.
-BTOR~\cite{btor} is a bit-precise word-level format for model
-checking. It is a simple format and easy to parse. It allows to model
-the model checking problem over the theory of bit-vectors with
-one-dimensional arrays, thus enabling to model Verilog designs with
-registers and memories. Yosys~\cite{yosys} is an Open-Source Verilog
-synthesis tool that can be used to convert Verilog designs with simple
-assertions to BTOR format.
-
-\end{abstract}
-
-\section{Installation}
-
-Yosys written in C++ (using features from C++11) and is tested on
-modern Linux. It should compile fine on most UNIX systems with a
-C++11 compiler. The README file contains useful information on
-building Yosys and its prerequisites.
-
-Yosys is a large and feature-rich program with some dependencies. For
-this work, we may deactivate other extra features such as {\tt TCL}
-and {\tt ABC} support in the {\tt Makefile}.
-
-\bigskip
-
-This Application Note is based on GIT Rev. {\tt 082550f} from
-2015-04-04 of Yosys~\cite{yosys}.
-
-\section{Quick Start}
-
-We assume that the Verilog design is synthesizable and we also assume
-that the design does not have multi-dimensional memories. As BTOR
-implicitly initializes registers to zero value and memories stay
-uninitialized, we assume that the Verilog design does
-not contain initial blocks. For more details about the BTOR format,
-please refer to~\cite{btor}.
-
-We provide a shell script {\tt verilog2btor.sh} which can be used to
-convert a Verilog design to BTOR. The script can be found in the
-{\tt backends/btor} directory. The following example shows its usage:
-
-\begin{figure}[H]
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=sh,numbers=none]
-verilog2btor.sh fsm.v fsm.btor test
-\end{lstlisting}
- \renewcommand{\figurename}{Listing}
-\caption{Using verilog2btor script}
-\end{figure}
-
-The script {\tt verilog2btor.sh} takes three parameters. In the above
-example, the first parameter {\tt fsm.v} is the input design, the second
-parameter {\tt fsm.btor} is the file name of BTOR output, and the third
-parameter {\tt test} is the name of top module in the design.
-
-To specify the properties (that need to be checked), we have two
-options:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item We can use the Verilog {\tt assert} statement in the procedural block
- or module body of the Verilog design, as shown in
- Listing~\ref{specifying_property_assert}. This is the preferred option.
-\item We can use a single-bit output wire, whose name starts with
- {\tt safety}. The value of this output wire needs to be driven low
- when the property is met, i.e. the solver will try to find a model
- that makes the safety pin go high. This is demonstrated in
- Listing~\ref{specifying_property_output}.
-\end{itemize}
-
-\begin{figure}[H]
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=Verilog,numbers=none]
-module test(input clk, input rst, output y);
-
- reg [2:0] state;
-
- always @(posedge clk) begin
- if (rst || state == 3) begin
- state <= 0;
- end else begin
- assert(state < 3);
- state <= state + 1;
- end
- end
-
- assign y = state[2];
-
- assert property (y !== 1'b1);
-
-endmodule
-\end{lstlisting}
-\renewcommand{\figurename}{Listing}
-\caption{Specifying property in Verilog design with {\tt assert}}
-\label{specifying_property_assert}
-\end{figure}
-
-\begin{figure}[H]
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=Verilog,numbers=none]
-module test(input clk, input rst,
- output y, output safety1);
-
- reg [2:0] state;
-
- always @(posedge clk) begin
- if (rst || state == 3)
- state <= 0;
- else
- state <= state + 1;
- end
-
- assign y = state[2];
-
- assign safety1 = !(y !== 1'b1);
-
-endmodule
-\end{lstlisting}
-\renewcommand{\figurename}{Listing}
-\caption{Specifying property in Verilog design with output wire}
-\label{specifying_property_output}
-\end{figure}
-
-We can run Boolector~\cite{boolector}~$1.4.1$\footnote{
-Newer version of Boolector do not support sequential models.
-Boolector 1.4.1 can be built with picosat-951. Newer versions
-of picosat have an incompatible API.} on the generated BTOR
-file:
-
-\begin{figure}[H]
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=sh,numbers=none]
-$ boolector fsm.btor
-unsat
-\end{lstlisting}
- \renewcommand{\figurename}{Listing}
-\caption{Running boolector on BTOR file}
-\end{figure}
-
-We can also use nuXmv~\cite{nuxmv}, but on BTOR designs it does not
-support memories yet. With the next release of nuXmv, we will be also
-able to verify designs with memories.
-
-\section{Detailed Flow}
-
-Yosys is able to synthesize Verilog designs up to the gate level.
-We are interested in keeping registers and memories when synthesizing
-the design. For this purpose, we describe a customized Yosys synthesis
-flow, that is also provided by the {\tt verilog2btor.sh} script.
-Listing~\ref{btor_script_memory} shows the Yosys commands that are
-executed by {\tt verilog2btor.sh}.
-
-\begin{figure}[H]
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=sh]
-read_verilog -sv $1;
-hierarchy -top $3; hierarchy -libdir $DIR;
-hierarchy -check;
-proc; opt;
-opt_expr -mux_undef; opt;

-splice; opt;

-write_btor $2;
-\end{lstlisting}
- \renewcommand{\figurename}{Listing}
-\caption{Synthesis Flow for BTOR with memories}
-\label{btor_script_memory}
-\end{figure}
-
-Here is short description of what is happening in the script line by
-line:
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item Reading the input file.
-\item Setting the top module in the hierarchy and trying to read
- automatically the files which are given as {\tt include} in the file
- read in first line.
-\item Checking the design hierarchy.
-\item Converting processes to multiplexers (muxs) and flip-flops.
-\item Removing undef signals from muxs.
-\item Hiding all signal names that are not used as module ports.
-\item Explicit type conversion, by introducing slice and concat cells
- in the circuit.
-\item Converting write memories to synchronous memories, and
- collecting the memories to multi-port memories.
-\item Flattening the design to get only one module.
-\item Separating read and write memories.
-\item Splitting the signals that are partially assigned
-\item Setting undef to zero value.
-\item Final optimization pass.
-\item Writing BTOR file.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-For detailed description of the commands mentioned above, please refer
-to the Yosys documentation, or run {\tt yosys -h \it command\_name}.
-
-The script presented earlier can be easily modified to have a BTOR
-file that does not contain memories. This is done by removing the line
-number~8 and 10, and introduces a new command {\tt memory} at line
-number~8. Listing~\ref{btor_script_without_memory} shows the
-modified Yosys script file:
-
-\begin{figure}[H]

-write_btor $2;
-\end{lstlisting}
- \renewcommand{\figurename}{Listing}
-\caption{Synthesis Flow for BTOR without memories}
-\label{btor_script_without_memory}
-\end{figure}
-
-\section{Example}
-
-Here is an example Verilog design that we want to convert to BTOR:
-
-\begin{figure}[H]
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=Verilog,numbers=none]
-module array(input clk);
-
- reg [7:0] counter;
- reg [7:0] mem [7:0];
-
- always @(posedge clk) begin
- counter <= counter + 8'd1;
- mem[counter] <= counter;
- end
-
- assert property (!(counter > 8'd0) ||
- mem[counter - 8'd1] == counter - 8'd1);
-
-endmodule
-\end{lstlisting}
-\renewcommand{\figurename}{Listing}
-\caption{Example - Verilog Design}

-in Listing~\ref{btor_script_memory}:

-\section{Limitations}
-
-BTOR does not support initialization of memories and registers, i.e. they are
-implicitly initialized to value zero, so the initial block for
-memories need to be removed when converting to BTOR. It should
-also be kept in consideration that BTOR does not support the {\tt x} or {\tt z}
-values of Verilog.
-
-Another thing to bear in mind is that Yosys will convert multi-dimensional
-memories to one-dimensional memories and address decoders. Therefore
-out-of-bounds memory accesses can yield unexpected results.
-
