Axiomise Joins the OpenHW Group

Verifying RISC-V designs with high assurance

LONDON, Dec. 18, 2019 — (PRNewswire) — Axiomise®, a formal verification training, consulting and services company has joined the OpenHW Group - a not-for-profit, global organization where hardware and software designers collaborate in the development of open-source cores, related IP, tools and software.

Axiomise is a formal verification training, consulting and services company that is enabling design verification engineers in the use of formal verification through a unique combination of training, consulting and specialized solutions, such as the RISC-V ISA formal proof kit® launched in June 2019.

"We are very pleased to welcome Axiomise as a member in the OpenHW Group," said Rick O'Connor, President and CEO, OpenHW Group. "As we work to provide best-in-class, industry-grade verification for our family of CORE-V, open-source, RISC-V cores, the formal methods capabilities of the Axiomise team will be of tremendous value to the OpenHW Group ecosystem."

Axiomise RISC-V ISA formal proof kit has been used to verify several RISC-V cores this year. The kit cannot only find bugs in a RISC-V core but also proves the absence of bugs through exhaustive proofs using any commercial EDA formal verification tool of choice, using the industry-standard System Verilog assertions.

The solution from Axiomise is the industry's first vendor-neutral formal verification solution for RISC-V and catalyzes a democratic adoption of formal verification. Axiomise founder and CEO Dr. Ashish Darbari presented a paper " Democratizing formal verification of RISC-V processors" in the recently concluded second annual RISC-V summit in San Jose, showing how the Axiomise methodology has found bugs in previously verified RISC-V cores that are in silicon.

"We are excited to be a part of the RISC-V revolution," said Dr. Darbari. "The Axiomise formal verification solution has found several corner-case functional bugs, as well as safety, security and low-power related issues in multiple RISC-V cores. We are excited that with our solution, you can use any formal verification tool of your choice and get started with finding bugs or proving their absence in your RISC-V cores within minutes."
