This paper describes our experience and methodology used in the model checking of S3C2400X industrial embedded SOC product. We employed model checking to verify the RTL implementation. We describe how to model the multiple clocks, gated clocks, unsynchronized clocks, and synchronization logics in model checking. Detailed case studies of real designs show the application of the proposed modeling techniques, environment modeling, and the properties we checked. The verification results validate the proposed techniques by finding real bugs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
