A metamodel and model-based design rule checking DSL for verification and validation of electronic circuit designs
- Development of embedded systems depends on both software and hardware design activities. Quality management of development artifacts is of crucial importance for the overall function and safety of the final product. This paper introduces a metamodel and model-based approach and accompanying domain-specific language for validation of electronic circuit designs. The solution does not depend on any particular electronic design automation (EDA) software, instead we propose a workflow that is integrated into a modular, general-purpose model analysis framework. The paper illustrates both the underlying concepts as well as possible application scenarios for the developed validation domain-specific language, MBDRC (Model-Based Design Rule Checking). It also discusses fields for further research and transfer of the initial results.
