Decoding Formal Verification: Cutpoints, Blackboxes & Free Variables | Part 2
Pro-tip: When it comes to reducing the complexity of designs during formal verification, there are three basic techniques you can use:
⭐️ Cutpointing: Simplify your design by breaking it into smaller, more manageable pieces. This can help you focus on specific areas for verification.
⭐️ Blackboxing: Treat certain modules or components as black boxes, focusing on their inputs and outputs rather than their internal workings. This can streamline the verification process.
⭐️ Symbolic variables: Instead of assigning specific values to variables, use symbolic variables to represent a range of possible values. This can help you catch potential errors early on.
