+Symbolic Model Checking (SMC) is used to formally prove that a circuit has
+(or has not) a given property.
 
-\begin{frame}{\subsubsecname}
-TBD
+\bigskip
+One appliction is Formal Equivalence Checking: Proving that two circuits
+are identical. For example this is a very useful feature when debugging custom
+passes in Yosys.
+
+\bigskip
+Other applications include checking if a module conforms to interface
+standards.
+
+\bigskip
+The {\tt sat} command in Yosys can be used to perform Symbolic Model Checking.

+The following AXI4 Stream Master has a bug. But the bug is not exposed if the

+\medskip
+Symbolic Model Checking can be used to expose the bug and find a sequence
+of values for {\tt tready} that yield the incorrect behavior.

+\item Yosys provides useful features beyond synthesis.
+\item The commands {\tt sat} and {\tt eval} can be used to analyse the behavior of a circuit.
+\item The {\tt sat} command can also be used for symbolic model checking.
+\item This can be useful for debugging and testing designs and Yosys extensions alike.
