High-Level Synthesis (HLS) is design flow in which design intent is described at a higher level of abstraction such as SystemC/C++/Matlab/etc. HLS tools are expected to synthesize this code to RTL which can be input to the traditional RTL downstream flow (RTL/GDS).
Formal check tools are difficult to be analyzed on generated
