In this article, we present an advanced design flow for HW, (RT)OS and HdS refinement and verification with focus on the transition from abstract RTOS verification to full system RTOS/HdS emulation. In the context of assertion-based verification, we introduce a set of generic real-time properties which can be reused and verified at different abstraction levels and discuss their application. The properties are presented by the means of IEEE standard PSL assertions which are applied for mixed SystemC/HdS models."}],"status":"public","_id":"37053","user_id":"5786","department":[{"_id":"672"}],"keyword":["Hardware","Microprogramming","Application software","Timing","Protocols","Virtual prototyping","Real time systems","Sampling methods","Operating systems","Emulation"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"eisbn":["978-1-4244-7806-4"]},"year":"2010","citation":{"chicago":"Müller, Wolfgang, Marcio F. da S.
