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.

12 1 Andrei Tatarnikov
13 33 Alexander Kamkin
# 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 1 Andrei Tatarnikov
# Download and install constraint solver tools to the @<installation dir>/tools@ directory (see the *Installing Constraint Solvers* section).
15 46 Andrei Tatarnikov
# Declare the *MICROTESK_HOME* environment variable and set its value to the path to the installation directory (see the *Setting Environment Variables* section).
16 40 Alexander Kamkin
# Set the @<installation dir>/bin@ as the working directory (add the path to the @PATH@ environment variable).
17 33 Alexander Kamkin
# 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 Solvers
35 15 Andrei Tatarnikov
36 40 Alexander Kamkin
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 dir>/tools@ directory.
37 18 Andrei Tatarnikov
38 40 Alexander Kamkin
* 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 dir>/tools/z3/windows@ directory.

* UNIX and Linux users should use one of the links below and place the @z3@ executable file to the @<installation dir>/tools/z3/unix/z3@ directory.

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:
61 26 Andrei Tatarnikov
62
<pre>
63 42 Andrei Tatarnikov
sh compile.sh ../arch/mips/model/mips.nml
64 27 Andrei Tatarnikov
</pre>
65
66 33 Alexander Kamkin
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: (1) _model name_ , (2) _test template file_ and (3) _target test program source code file_. For example, the following command runs the @mips_demo.rb@ test template for the MIPS model generated by the command from the previous example and saves the generated test program to the @test.asm@ file:
67 27 Andrei Tatarnikov
68
<pre>
69 42 Andrei Tatarnikov
sh generate.sh mips ../arch/mips/templates/mips_demo.rb test.asm
