This report is adapted from a study performed for AWE in 2001 by the author while at Logica. It investigates the feasibility of using the CSP specification language and FDR2 model-checking tool, and Handel-C programming language, in combination, with FDR2 as a front-end specification and proof tool, then automatically translating the formal designs into executable Handel-C. Such an approach could provide a development path from an abstract specification to a correct executable implementation running on an FPGA.
