Abstract

A method for formally verifying a hardware/software co-design includes providing in a co-design, a first model, and a second model, the first model is one of a hardware model, and the second model is one of a software model, or vice versa, providing a safety property expected to be satisfied by the co-design, combining an abstraction of the first model and the safety property to obtain an abstracted first model, composing the abstracted first model and the second model to obtain a composed model, checking if the composed model satisfies the safety property, and signaling that the hardware/software co-design violates the safety property if the safety property is violated in the composed model.
