Ongoing work in translation validation~\citep{pnueli98_trans} seeks to prove equivalence between the hardware generated by an HLS tool and the original behavioural description in C. An example of a tool that implements this is Mentor's Catapult~\citep{mentor20_catap_high_level_synth}, which tries to match the states in the 3AC description to states in the original C code after an unverified translation. Using translation validation is quite effective for verifying complex optimisations such as scheduling~\citep{kim04_autom_fsmd,karfa06_formal_verif_method_sched_high_synth,chouksey20_verif_sched_condit_behav_high_level_synth} or code motion~\citep{banerjee14_verif_code_motion_techn_using_value_propag,chouksey19_trans_valid_code_motion_trans_invol_loops}, but the validation has to be run every time the HLS is performed. In addition to that, the proofs are often not mechanised or directly related to the actual implementation, meaning the verifying algorithm might be wrong and hence could give false positives or false negatives.
-Finally, there are a few relevant mechanically verified tools. First, K\^{o}ika is a formally verified translation from a core fragment of BlueSpec into a circuit representation which can then be printed as a Verilog design. This is a translation from a high-level hardware description language into an equivalent circuit representation, so is a different approach to HLS. \citet{loow19_proof_trans_veril_devel_hol} used a verified translation from HOL4 code describing state transitions into Verilog to design a verified processor, which is described by \citet{loow19_verif_compil_verif_proces}. \citet{10.1145/3437992.3439916} has also worked on formally verifying a synthesis tool that can transform hardware descriptions into low-level netlists. His approach translates a shallow embedding in HOL4 into a deep embedding of Verilog.

His approach translates a shallow embedding in HOL4 into a deep embedding of Verilog.
Perna et al. designed a formally verified translation from a deep embedding of Handel-C~\citep{aubury1996handel} into a deep embedding of a circuit~\cite{perna12_mechan_wire_wise_verif_handel_c_synth,perna11_correc_hardw_synth}.
Finally, \citet{ellis08} used Isabelle to implement and reason about intermediate languages for software/hardware compilation, where parts could be implemented in hardware and the correctness could still be shown.
