Assertion-Based Verification (ABV) using the PSL language is currently gaining acceptance as an essential method for functional verification of hardware. A basic technique to implement ABV is to embed temporal assertions in RTL code. This paper describes the use of a PSL-based ABV methodology in a C++-based system level modeling and simulation environment. We describe the considerations of porting a tool which translates PSL to VHDL/Verilog, to support C++, a language which was designed for software and does not have concurrent language constructs. The translation scheme is shown to be adaptable to all C-based environments. We exemplify the wide applicability of this scheme by detailing its successful deployment in a SystemC-based industrial System-on-Chip (SoC) project.
