The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

In this talk we will demonstrate the use of formal verification techniques for embedded systems software. Our work aims to provide a rigorous proof of correctness for this software, and also to leverage testing. Using the embedded real-time operating system FreeRTOS as a case study, we will introduce an experimental tool-chain to enable specification and proof of system properties so that the entire development process from requirements to binary code is covered. We will further present intermediate results from verifying FreeRTOS' core components and discuss how testing can benefit, in terms of automation and thoroughness, from involving formal verification tools.
