PROFILE
Sai Ma
Masai developed and maintained the bedrock-rtl repository, delivering robust RTL verification infrastructure and formal property verification for FPGA and ASIC hardware designs. Over 17 months, Masai engineered parameterized SystemVerilog modules, assertion-based verification flows, and automated testbenches to improve coverage and reliability across AXI, AMBA, and ECC interfaces. Leveraging Bazel for build automation and Tcl scripting for test orchestration, Masai introduced configurable verification libraries, streamlined regression cycles, and enhanced error detection. The work addressed edge cases in reset handling, protocol conformance, and state-space reduction, resulting in a scalable, maintainable platform that accelerated validation and reduced integration risk for hardware teams.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for xlsynth/bedrock-rtl. Delivered a new Downstream Request Handling Configuration (HasDefaultDownstream) to control request routing across downstream ports, increasing DUT flexibility for multi-downstream configurations. Updated FV TB to sweep HasDefaultDownstream, validating behavior across scenarios and catching misconfigurations early. Added RTL assertion to prevent enabling HasDefaultDownstream when only one downstream exists, preserving baseline behavior. Regression tests remained clean, confirming stability of the new configuration. Overall impact: enhanced configurability in downstream handling reduces integration risk and accelerates validation for multi-downstream setups. Demonstrated competency in RTL design, test bench development, and test-driven validation. Technologies/skills demonstrated: SystemVerilog/RTL design, test bench engineering (FV TB), parameterized design, assertion-based validation, version control and traceability across commits.

Jan 1, 2026January 2026 (2026-01) monthly summary for Bedrock-RTL work focused on verification robustness and feature completeness in xlsynth/bedrock-rtl. Implemented timeout-based SCB interface with abort-on-timeout semantics and a Demux FPV monitor for address-based routing, expanding FPV coverage for AXI4-Lite to SCB widget. Added CSR Demux FPV to route a single outstanding request per upstream/downstream path with decode-error handling. Stabilized verification by asserting zero initial state for br_delay_nr_push_count_gray to reduce false functional verification failures and simplify FIFO reset logic. Introduced Bedrock-RTL CSR CDC Monitor and Test Suite to verify upstream/downstream request/response integrity and control signal handling. These changes improve verification robustness, reduce integration risk, and accelerate validation cycles. Technologies demonstrated include SystemVerilog-based FPV, AXI-Lite/CSR interfacing, demux routing, and comprehensive FV TB development.
