Abstract

We describe a hybrid formal hardware verification tool that links the HOL interactive proof system and the MDG automated hardware verification tool. It supports a hierarchical verification approach that mirrors the hierarchical structure of designs. We obtain the advantages of both verification paradigms. We illustrate its use by considering a component of a communications chip. Verification with the hybrid tool is significantly faster and more tractable than using either tool alone.
