Abstract

In this paper we present a Design-for-Verification framework for a Configurable Performance-Critical Communication Interface. To manage the inherent complexity of the problem we decomposed the interface into independent parametrisable communication blocks. Tock-CSP was then used to model the timing and functional specifications of our interface. The FDR model checker and its tau-priority model were used to prove that the properties of the configured interface are within the properties of targeted communication protocols.
