  Abstract

Hardware and software codesign framework called PeaCE(Ptolemy extension as a Codesign Environment) allows to express both data flow and control flow. To formally verify an fFSM specification which expresses control flow in PeaCE, the step semantics of the model was defined. In this paper, we introduce the automatic verification tool developed by formal semantics of previous work. This tool uses the SMV as inner model checker and, through our tool, users can formally verify some important bugs such as race condition, ambiguous transition, and circulartransition without directly writing logical formulae.
