Finite State Machine Verification Should Not Be Daunting: Govern It with an Explicit FSM
FSM verification feels daunting not because FSMs are inherently unmanageable, but because the verification method becomes opaque. What needs to become governable again is the verification work itself: what has been exercised, what remains outside that exercised behavior, and how changes affect the path to coverage. Making the FSM explicit as a graph restores the […]
Hardware–Software Co‑Verification: Why system‑level verification is no longer optional
In System‑on‑Chip development, most late‑stage issues are not caused by broken IPs or incorrect RTL logic. They are caused by integration assumptions that silently fail when software starts running on real hardware. This is not a marginal observation; it is a recurring reality across SoC projects. As designs grow in complexity, verifying hardware in isolation […]
