Intertwined development and formal verification of a 60/spl times/ bus model
Matt Kaufmann, Carl Pixley · 1997
We describe a project in which the IBM/Motorola 60/spl times/ bus protocol was incrementally modeled at an abstract level in Verilog and verified using Motorola's Verdict model checker. The primary purpose of the modeling activity was to acquaint verification personnel with details of the 60/spl times/ bus protocol and to document specific properties of the 60/spl times/ bus that are necessary to guarantee compliance with hand-written protocol documentation. Our Verilog 60/spl times/ bus model documents the 60/spl times/ bus protocol for other Motorola business units.
