Assertion-First Hardware Design and Formal Verification Services

Advancements in generative AI have accelerated software development, but hardware verification remains a challenge. Tobias Ludwig of LUBIS EDA discussed the shift towards assertion-first hardware design at a recent conference. Assertion IP, defining design behavior upfront, is crucial for precise verification. Historically, manually creating assertion sets was impractical, leading to a culture of "RTL-first." However, with tools now capable of automatically generating Assertion IP, the industry is moving towards a more structured, formalized design process. LUBIS EDA is at the forefront of this movement, offering services to bridge the gap between abstract models and RTL implementation, ultimately improving hardware design processes.
