Original Kurzfassung:
In this work, we sketch an automated design flow for
hardware synthesis based on a formal specification. Verification results are propagated from the FSL level through the proposed flow
to generate an ESL model as well as an RTL implementation automatically. In contrast, the established design flow relies on manual
implementations at the ESL and RTL level. The proposed design
flow combines proof assistants with functional hardware description languages. This combination decreases the implementation effort significantly and the generation of testbenches is no longer
needed. We illustrate our design flow by specifying and synthesizing a set of benchmarks that contain sequential and combinational
hardware designs.We compare them with implementations required
by the established hardware design flow.
