Abstract(in English) In this paper, we developed a tool supporting formal verification of large scale hardware design described by Verilog-HDL. We use a model-checker NuSMV which supports symbolic mode checking. Symbolic model checking is one of formal verification techniques and can avoid state explosion problem by representing a state transition graph as a boolean formula. Our tool translates a hardware design described by Verilog-HDL into an SMV program which is an input of NuSMV. We use pyverilog toolkit for parsing Verilog code and our tool outputs the SMV program from abstract syntactic tree which is generated by pyverilog.
