OpenGEODE is a tiny open-source SDL editor that is developed for the purpose of providing an easy to use and free state machine editor and Ada code generator to the TASTE toolchain from the European Space Agency, running in combination with ESA's ASN.1 "Space Certifiable" ASN.1 compiler.

SDL is the Specification and Description Language (Z100 standard from ITU-T).

This is NOT related to the graphical Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries!

• Graphical editor of SDL processes and procedures.
• SDL2010 features: state composition and state aggregation
• Works on pure PR+CIF files (textual SDL notation)
• Supports ASN.1 data types - using ESA Space Certified compiler (www.github.com/ttsiodras/asn1scc)
• Generates Ada code
• Automatic conversion to Statechart diagrams
• Save the complete or parts of the model to PNG/SVG/PDF files
• Hyperlinks (link a symbol content to any external document or web page)
• Context-dependent text auto-completion
• Syntax highlighting
• Undo/Redo, Copy-Paste
• (Limited) VIM mode - You can use :wq or :%s,search,replace,g, and /search pattern
• SDL to LLVM code generation
• Python API to parse and render SDL from other Python modules

On Windows, download the binary from here

Uzip it and run opengeode.exe. It contains everything without any other external dependencies.

To install OpenGEODE on Linux you need to install some system-level dependencies:

• Python 2.7 with pip (installed by default on nearly all Linux distributions)
• Pyside
• Graphviz
• ASN1SCC
• GNAT

And optionally llvm and llvmpy

On Debian, Ubuntu, and probably other distributions:

$ sudo apt-get install pkg-config python-pyside pyside-tools graphviz \
                       graphviz-dev libgraphviz-dev  python-pip gnat-4.8 \
                       libmono-system-runtime4.0-cil libmono-corlib4.0-cil \
                       libmono-system-runtime-serialization-formatters-soap4.0-cil \
                       libmono-system-web4.0-cil libmono-system-xml4.0-cil \
                       libmono-system4.0-cil mono-runtime libmono-system-numerics4.0-cil \
                       libmono-system-data-linq4.0-cil libmono-corlib2.0-cil libmono-system2.0-cil

To install the ASN.1 compiler:

$ cd /opt
$ wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/taste/ASN1SCC/ASN1SCC-latest.tgz
$ tar zxvf ASN1SCC-latest.tgz
$ echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/asn1scc' >> ~/.bashrc

Open a new terminal and check that it works:

$ mono /opt/asn1scc/asn1.exe

Optionally, to install llvmpy and LLVM follow the instructions here

Make sure all dependencies are installed.

You need to install a certificate to get software from ESA Git servers:

$ echo -n | openssl s_client -connect gitrepos.estec.esa.int:443 | sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p' > gitrepos.cert
$ sudo cp gitrepos.cert /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/gitrepos.crt
$ sudo update-ca-certificate

Then you can get the software with git:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/maxime-esa/opengeode.git

And install it as root:

$ cd opengeode
$ make install

OpenGEODE is part of the TASTE project

The LLVM backend was designed and implemented by Diego Barbera during the ESA Summer of Code 2014 Some parts have been implemented by Laurent Meyer (native SDL type support in the parser)

The ASN.1 compiler (ASN1Scc) that OpenGEODE is based on was developed by George Mamais and Thanassis Tsiodras for the European Space Agency. Information at http://www.semantix.gr/asn1scc
