Abstract

This paper presents a hierarchical firmware design method. It allows to structure the design of a microprogrammed (level of a) computer architecture into independently verifiable modules. To specify the behaviour of the system we use the axiomatic architecture description language AADL. We illustrate the design and specification style using an emulation example.
