        Dover have come up with an interesting idea that I like to think of as rather like runtime assertion-based verification (ABV). Think about why we use ABV in hardware design verification. We can’t anticipate everything that might possibly go wrong in a complex system, but we do know that there are certain statements we can make about behavior that should always be true or conversely always false. We have a language in which we can write these assertions (most commonly SVA) enabling us to write our own arbitrarily complex checks. When an assertion triggers in simulation, we trace back in debug and typically find some unexpected combination of conditions we never considered. Even though we hadn’t thought of it, the ABV approach caught it anyway.

        Dover’s CoreGuard IP integrates with RISC architectures (ARM and RISC-V). The technology originated as part of the DARPA CRASH program in 2010, was incubated by Draper in 2015, and was spun out through Dover as a commercial entity in 2017. The company has now grown to over 20 people and has closed an initial $6 million round of seed funding. Even more impressive, they are working with NXP towards embedding their solution in NXP controllers
