NAME

       fmi    - FSM state miminization

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
