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.status: publishe
