Python Electronic Design Automation
Hello all,
I have moved on from this project, and will not spend time on maintenance or bug fixes. I welcome any discussion in Issues. I also welcome forks of any kind, for any reason.
PyEDA is a Python library for electronic design automation.
Read the docs! <http://pyeda.rtfd.org>
_
Symbolic Boolean algebra with a selection of function representations:
SAT solvers:
PicoSAT <http://fmv.jku.at/picosat>
_Espresso <http://embedded.eecs.berkeley.edu/pubs/downloads/espresso/index.htm>
_ logic minimization
Formal equivalence
Multi-dimensional bit vectors
DIMACS CNF/SAT parsers
Logic expression parser
Bleeding edge code::
$ git clone git://github.com/cjdrake/pyeda.git
For release tarballs and zipfiles,
visit PyEDA's page at the
Cheese Shop <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyeda>
_.
Latest release version using
pip <http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest>
_::
$ pip3 install pyeda
Installation from the repository::
$ python3 setup.py install
Note that you will need to have Python headers and libraries in order to compile the C extensions. For MacOS, the standard Python installation should have everything you need. For Linux, you will probably need to install the Python3 "development" package.
For Debian-based systems (eg Ubuntu, Mint)::
$ sudo apt-get install python3-dev
For RedHat-based systems (eg RHEL, Centos)::
$ sudo yum install python3-devel
For Windows, just grab the binaries from Christoph Gohlke's
excellent pythonlibs page <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/>

Invoke your favorite Python terminal,
and invoke an interactive pyeda
session::
from pyeda.inter import *
Create some Boolean expression variables::
a, b, c, d = map(exprvar, "abcd")
Construct Boolean functions using overloaded Python operators:
~
(NOT), |
(OR), ^
(XOR), &
(AND), >>
(IMPLIES)::
f0 = ~a & b | c & ~d f1 = a >> b f2 = ~a & b | a & ~b f3 = ~a & ~b | a & b f4 = ~a & ~b & ~c | a & b & c f5 = a & b | ~a & c
Construct Boolean functions using standard function syntax::
f10 = Or(And(Not(a), b), And(c, Not(d))) f11 = Implies(a, b) f12 = Xor(a, b) f13 = Xnor(a, b) f14 = Equal(a, b, c) f15 = ITE(a, b, c) f16 = Nor(a, b, c) f17 = Nand(a, b, c)
Construct Boolean functions using higher order operators::
OneHot(a, b, c) And(Or(~a, ~b), Or(~a, ~c), Or(~b, ~c), Or(a, b, c)) OneHot0(a, b, c) And(Or(~a, ~b), Or(~a, ~c), Or(~b, ~c)) Majority(a, b, c) Or(And(a, b), And(a, c), And(b, c)) AchillesHeel(a, b, c, d) And(Or(a, b), Or(c, d))
Investigate a function's properties::
f0.support frozenset({a, b, c, d}) f0.inputs (a, b, c, d) f0.top a f0.degree 4 f0.cardinality 16 f0.depth 2
Convert expressions to negation normal form (NNF), with only OR/AND and literals::
f11.to_nnf() Or(~a, b) f12.to_nnf() Or(And(~a, b), And(a, ~b)) f13.to_nnf() Or(And(~a, ~b), And(a, b)) f14.to_nnf() Or(And(~a, ~b, ~c), And(a, b, c)) f15.to_nnf() Or(And(a, b), And(~a, c)) f16.to_nnf() And(~a, ~b, ~c) f17.to_nnf() Or(~a, ~b, ~c)
Restrict a function's input variables to fixed values, and perform function composition::
f0.restrict({a: 0, c: 1}) Or(b, ~d) f0.compose({a: c, b: ~d}) Or(And(~c, ~d), And(c, ~d))
Test function formal equivalence::
f2.equivalent(f12) True f4.equivalent(f14) True
Investigate Boolean identities::
~~a a
a | a a And(a, a) a
Or(a, 0) a And(a, 1) a
Or(a, 1) 1 And(a, 0) 0
(a | b).equivalent(b | a) True (a & b).equivalent(b & a) True
Or(a, Or(b, c)) Or(a, b, c) And(a, And(b, c)) And(a, b, c)
(a | (b & c)).to_cnf() And(Or(a, b), Or(a, c)) (a & (b | c)).to_dnf() Or(And(a, b), And(a, c))
Not(a | b).to_nnf() And(~a, ~b) Not(a & b).to_nnf() Or(~a, ~b)
Perform Shannon expansions::
a.expand(b) Or(And(a, ~b), And(a, b)) (a & b).expand([c, d]) Or(And(a, b, ~c, ~d), And(a, b, ~c, d), And(a, b, c, ~d), And(a, b, c, d))
Convert a nested expression to disjunctive normal form::
f = a & (b | (c & d)) f.depth 3 g = f.to_dnf() g Or(And(a, b), And(a, c, d)) g.depth 2 f.equivalent(g) True
Convert between disjunctive and conjunctive normal forms::
f = ~a & ~b & c | ~a & b & ~c | a & ~b & ~c | a & b & c g = f.to_cnf() h = g.to_dnf() g And(Or(a, b, c), Or(a, ~b, ~c), Or(~a, b, ~c), Or(~a, ~b, c)) h Or(And(~a, ~b, c), And(~a, b, ~c), And(a, ~b, ~c), And(a, b, c))
Create some four-bit vectors, and use slice operators::
A = exprvars('a', 4) B = exprvars('b', 4) A farray([a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3]]) A[2:] farray([a[2], a[3]]) A[-3:-1] farray([a[1], a[2]])
Perform bitwise operations using Python overloaded operators:
~
(NOT), |
(OR), &
(AND), ^
(XOR)::
~A farray([~a[0], ~a[1], ~a[2], ~a[3]]) A | B farray([Or(a[0], b[0]), Or(a[1], b[1]), Or(a[2], b[2]), Or(a[3], b[3])]) A & B farray([And(a[0], b[0]), And(a[1], b[1]), And(a[2], b[2]), And(a[3], b[3])]) A ^ B farray([Xor(a[0], b[0]), Xor(a[1], b[1]), Xor(a[2], b[2]), Xor(a[3], b[3])])
Reduce bit vectors using unary OR, AND, XOR::
A.uor() Or(a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3]) A.uand() And(a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3]) A.uxor() Xor(a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3])
Create and test functions that implement non-trivial logic such as arithmetic::
from pyeda.logic.addition import * S, C = ripple_carry_add(A, B)
Note "1110" is LSB first. This says: "7 + 1 = 8".
S.vrestrict({A: "1110", B: "1000"}).to_uint() 8
Consult the documentation <http://pyeda.rtfd.org>
_ for information about
truth tables, and binary decision diagrams.
Each function representation has different trade-offs,
so always use the right one for the job.
PyEDA includes an extension to the industrial-strength
PicoSAT <http://fmv.jku.at/picosat>
_ SAT solving engine.
Use the satisfy_one
method to finding a single satisfying input point::
f = OneHot(a, b, c) f.satisfy_one() {a: 0, b: 0, c: 1}
Use the satisfy_all
method to iterate through all satisfying input points::
list(f.satisfy_all()) [{a: 0, b: 0, c: 1}, {a: 0, b: 1, c: 0}, {a: 1, b: 0, c: 0}]

_All Solutions to the Eight Queens Puzzle <http://pyeda.readthedocs.org/en/latest/queens.html>
_PyEDA includes an extension to the famous Espresso library for the minimization of two-level covers of Boolean functions.
Use the espresso_exprs
function to minimize multiple expressions::
f1 = Or(~a & ~b & ~c, ~a & ~b & c, a & ~b & c, a & b & c, a & b & ~c) f2 = Or(~a & ~b & c, a & ~b & c) f1m, f2m = espresso_exprs(f1, f2) f1m Or(And(~a, ~b), And(a, b), And(~b, c)) f2m And(~b, c)
Use the espresso_tts
function to minimize multiple truth tables::
X = exprvars('x', 4) f1 = truthtable(X, "0000011111------") f2 = truthtable(X, "0001111100------") f1m, f2m = espresso_tts(f1, f2) f1m Or(x[3], And(x[0], x[2]), And(x[1], x[2])) f2m Or(x[2], And(x[0], x[1]))

PyEDA is developed using Python 3.3+. It is NOT compatible with Python 2.7, or Python 3.2.
I recently discovered that people actually use this software in the real world. Feel free to send me a pull request if you would like your project listed here as well.
