MicroTESK is a set of Java-based utilities that are run from the command line. It can be used on *_Windows, Linux and OS X_* machines that have *_JDK 1.6 or later_* installed. To build MicroTESK from source code or to build generated Java models, *_Apache Ant version 1.8_ or later* is required. To generate test data based on constraints, MicroTESK needs *_Microsoft Research Z3_* that can work under the corresponding operating system.

h3. Installation Steps
12 1 Andrei Tatarnikov
13 25 Andrei Tatarnikov
# Download from http://forge.ispras.ru/projects/microtesk/files and unpack the MicroTESK installation package (the .tar.gz file, latest release) to your computer.
14 22 Andrei Tatarnikov
# Download and install constraint solver tools to the "<installation folder>/tools" folder (see the "Installing Constraint Solver Tools" section).
15
# Open your console terminal and set the "<installation folder>/bin" as the working directory.
16 13 Andrei Tatarnikov
# Now you can run the compile.sh (or .bat) script to create a microprocessor model and the generate.sh (or .bat) script to generate test for this model.

h3. Installing Constraint Solver Tools

20 23 Andrei Tatarnikov
To generate test data based on constraints, MicroTESK requires external constraint solver engines. The current version uses the Z3 constraint solver by Microsoft Research (http://z3.codeplex.com/). The Z3 executable should be downloaded and placed to the "<installation folder>/tools" folder.

* Windows users should download Z3 (32 or 64-bit version) from the following page: http://z3.codeplex.com/releases, unpack the archive and place the z3.exe file to the "<installation folder>/tools/z3/windows" folder.

34
The MicroTESK installation folder contains the following subfolders:
35
36
# _arch_   Examples of microprocessor specifications and test templates for the described designs.
37
# _bin_    Scripts to run features of MicroTESK (modelling and test generation).
38 1 Andrei Tatarnikov
# _doc_    Documentation on MicroTESK and nML/Sim-nML.
39
# _libs_   JAR files and Ruby scripts to perform modelling and test generation tasks.
40 13 Andrei Tatarnikov
# _output_ Generated Java models of the specified microprocessor designs.

h3. Running MicroTESK

To generate a Java model of a microprocessor from its nML specification, a user needs to run the compile.sh script (Unix, Linux, OS X) or the compile.bat script (Windows). For example, the following command generates a model from a MIPS ISA specification:
45 26 Andrei Tatarnikov
46
<pre>
47 1 Andrei Tatarnikov
sh compile.sh ../arch/mips/model/newmips.nml
48 27 Andrei Tatarnikov
</pre>

To generate a test program, a user needs to use the generate.sh script (Unix, Linux, OS X) or the generate.bat script (Windows). The scripts require the following parameters: the model name and the path to the test template file. the following command runs the mips_demo.rb test template for the MIPS model generated by the command from the previous example:
51
52
<pre>
53
sh generate.sh newmips ../arch/mips/templates/mips_demo.rb
