Known bugs:
* The executable version of betterSIS (both the deb package and the PyInstaller executable) can't correctly connect to Github Release to check for updates (SSL verification error)
> This will be fixed in the next version (for now you need to manually check if an update is available)
Features:
* Added the ls command: it shows files and directories in the given/current path
* Added the cd command: you can use it to navigate directories from betterSIS
* Added the edit command: opens the specified file with a simple text editor
> Editor's features: syntax highlighting, basic edit/save functionality, use the tab key to write/complete keywords
* (siswrapper feature) Added bsis_script command. Its accepted parameters are:
* fsm_autoencoding_area, useful for FSM circuits: minimizes states, automatically encodes states, optimizes area and maps the circuit by area (synch library)
> Executed commands: state_minimize stamina, state_assign jedi, source script.rugged, read_library synch.genlib, map -m 0 -W -s
* fsm_autoencoding_delay, useful for FSM circuits: minimizes states, automatically encodes states, optimizes delay and maps the circuit by delay (synch library)
> Executed commands: state_minimize stamina, state_assign jedi, reduce_depth, source script.rugged, read_library synch.genlib, map -n 1 -W -s
* fsm_area, useful for FSM circuits: minimizes states, uses manual states encoding, optimizes area and maps the circuit by area (synch library)
> Executed commands: state_minimize stamina, stg_to_network, source script.rugged, read_library synch.genlib, map -m 0 -W -s
* fsm_delay, useful for FSM circuits: minimizes states, uses manual states encoding, optimizes delay and maps the circuit by delay (synch library)
> Executed commands: state_minimize stamina, stg_to_network, reduce_depth, source script.rugged, read_library synch.genlib, map -n 1 -W -s
* lgate_area_mcnc, useful for combinational circuits: optimizes area and maps the circuit by area (mcnc library)
> Executed commands: source script.rugged, read_library mcnc.genlib, map -m 0 -W -s
* lgate_delay_mcnc, useful for combinational circuits: optimizes delay and maps the circuit by delay (mcnc library)
> Executed commands: reduce_depth, source script.rugged, read_library mcnc.genlib, map -n 1 -W -s
* lgate_area_synch, useful for combinational circuits: optimizes area and maps the circuit by area (synch library)
> Executed commands: source script.rugged, read_library synch.genlib, map -m 0 -W -s
* lgate_delay_synch, useful for combinational circuits: optimizes delay and maps the circuit by delay (synch library)
> Executed commands: reduce_depth, source script.rugged, read_library synch.genlib, map -n 1 -W -s
* fsmd_area, useful for FSMD circuits (circuits which include datapaths and an FSM): optimizes area and maps the circuit by area (synch library)
> Executed commands: source script.rugged, read_library synch.genlib, map -m 0 -W -s
* fsmd_delay, useful for FSMD circuits (circuits which include datapaths and an FSM): optimizes delay and maps the circuit by delay (synch library)
> Executed commands: reduce_depth, source script.rugged, read_library synch.genlib, map -n 1 -W -s
> This command also shows which command is executed and the statistics after some commands
> Partial and full results are written to new BLIF files.
> WARNING! These commands are executed in this order, thus does NOT guarantee the best result: multi-level minimization is not perfect!
> to obtain better results you should try to execute these commands manually in a diffent order (try also to execute them more than once)
* (siswrapper feature) Now this library verifies if the stg_to_network command is successful
Fixes:
* (siswrapper fix) Now the write_eqn command gives the expected result when used to output to a file.
> Before this fix the write_blif method was executed instead of the correct method
* (siswrapper fix) When SIS is not installed the error message shows exactly what the problem is
* (siswrapper fix) If you call the write_eqn and write_blif method without parameters the output doesn't contain the command.
* (siswrapper fix) Can't execute the rugged script if no file as been read with a read command
* (siswrapper fix) When you execute a read command, this library calls the reset method to close the SIS session and
open a new session inside the folder of the input file
> This "fixes" the ".search x file not found" error when you try to read a file that is in another folder and contains the .search keyword.
>
> This error was normal but not intuitive (because the imported file was present inside the same folder as the input file but not inside the current folder).
> It was the original SIS behaviour.
* (siswrapper fix) The output of the print_stats command couldn't be intepreted as correct when the circuit had more than a 10000 literals/states
> The output was correct but the program reported it as an error
