摘要:

为了保证以Verilog硬件描述语言设计的片上系统的正确性,提出了Verilog程序的符号模型检测方法.依据形式化操作语义将Verilog程序建模为有限状态机,将设计规范用命题投影时序逻辑公式描述,并采用命题投影时序逻辑符号模型检测工具对程序进行验证,从而证明片上系统满足设计规范.以Verilog程序描述的四位同步二进制计数系统的验证实例表明,Verilog程序的命题投影时序逻辑符号模型检测方法是可行的.

关键词: 时序逻辑, 符号模型检测, 硬件描述语言, 片上系统验证

Abstract:

To insure the correctness of the system on chip(SoC) designed in the Verilog hardware description language,a symbolic model checking methodology for Verilog programs is proposed. With this methodology,the Verilog program to be verified is modeled as a finite-state machine with respect to its formal operational semantics,while the design specifications are expressed in propositional projection temporal logic(PPTL) formulas. Whether the SoC satisfies its specifications or not can be determined with the symbolic model checker proposed in our previous work. A case of a 4-bit synchronous binary counting system described in Verilog programs is studied to illustrate the feasibility of this methodology.

Key words: temporal logic, symbolic model checking, hardware description language, system on chip verification
