Sommaire

Requirements

In order to use the BIP tools, you need:

a recent JVM (5.0 or upper) mandatory
If you are willing to use the C++ code generator, you also need make and g++ (4 or upper) optional

On debian/ubuntu systems these dependencies can be satisfied by installing the following packages: openjdk-6-jre, make and g++

Beware that currently, we only provide the BIP runtime for systems running GNU/Linux on x86 platforms (compiler should run fine on any system, provided it has a decent Java support).

The BIP Compiler and Runtime

We provide a self-sufficient archive that contains everything needed by the BIP compiler and its runtime (the real-time BIP compiler and runtime can be found here):

BIP Compiler + Runtime (GNU/Linux - x86)

Simply extract this archive on your system and point the environment variable BIP2_HOME to this new directory. Then the BIP compiler is invoked by running the $BIP2_HOME/bin/bipc executable:

~ $ tar zxvf BIP.linux.x86.tar.gz
BIP.linux.x86/externals/
BIP.linux.x86/bin/
BIP.linux.x86/doc/
BIP.linux.x86/examples/
BIP.linux.x86/bip-parts/
BIP.linux.x86/include/
BIP.linux.x86/include/mono/
BIP.linux.x86/include/multi/
...
~ $ export BIP2_HOME=$PWD/BIP.linux.x86
~ $ $BIP2_HOME/bin/bipc -h
BIP Compiler. Version: frontend: trunk@2324, backend:trunk@2324
Usage: bipc -f <input> options 
    or bipc -m <model> options 
   -I <include directory>
	--genC-execute : generate code for execution
	--genC-multi : generate code for multithread execution
    -g : generate debug functions
	--genC-explore : generate code for state exploration 
   --gen-graphviz <PREFIX> : generate graphviz file for automaton. Files prefixed by PREFIX
   --gen-graphviz-script <SCRIPT> : generate a script for dot->png conversion in <SCRIPT>

BIP software as a library

Within the self-sufficient archive, you can find sub-archives corresponding to different part of the compiler. You can also download some separately:

metamodel. This archive also includes the ’ecore’ file and the necessary build script to generate the corresponding Java code (checkout the javadoc)
the parser for loading BIP files.
