Generic Verilog 2 DIMACS Converter

These python functions will convert a verilog circuit into a DIMACS format compatible with a wide variety of SAT solvers. The conversion uses the Tseytin transformation

The verilog netlist must be in the generic gate format <gate_type> <gate_name> (<output> <in0> [<in1> ...]);

Example:

nand NAND2_1 (N10, N1, N3,N6);
nor NAND2_2 (N11, N3, N6, N1);
or NAND2_3 (N16, N2, N11);
and NAND2_4 (N19, N11, N7);

To convert verilog, use verilog2dimacs(path). This will return a list of DIMACS clauses and a dictionary mapping original net names to the DIMACS encoding and a dictionary mapping original net names to the DIMACS encodingg

Constraints can be added to the encoding using constrain(constraints,net_map,clauses)

The clauses and mapping can be exported to a file through write(top,net_map,clauses)

The functions have been verified through simulation. The simulation exercises every possible input value to a circuit and checks that the DIMACS encoding is consistent. The test requires cadical and Cadence xrun to be in $PATH

The test is run with python verilog2dimacs.py c17.v
