Abstract

The paper presents an uniform framework in which the firmware verification problem can be reduced to the software one. It is shown how to transform the control memory (ROM) content into a microprogram written in the specially designed language MIDDLE and what kind of information has to be included in the hardware documentation in order to make the transformation possible. Once such a microprogram is found, different software methods of verification, outlined in the paper, can be applied.
