Master Thesis - Past Projects - AbstractHigh-Level Development and Formal Verification of Reconfigurable HardwareID: LiTH-IDA-Ex-02/102 This work studies development and formal verification of reconfigurable
hardware using high-level languages, in particular Esterel, to evaluate the
possible contributions to system safety.
First, surveys of both implementation languages and formal verification
techniques are given. Then, a complete development method from high-level
specifications, formal verification and code generation for FPGA design is
described. Case studies with real-world systems from the industry show that
high-level techniques can be used with little loss of efficiency. Last, it
is shown that using automatic model checking tools working directly on the
implementation code, functional verification and reliability analysis can be
both quick and practical.
Keywords: Esterel, FPGA, Formal Verification, Safety-Critical Systems Author(s): Jerker Hammarberg Contact: Simin Nadjm-Tehrani
