In reply to warnerrs:
- You don’t need to write a separate property if the assertion does not have arguments or if the assertion does not use local variables.
- Use the default clocking @(posedge clk); endclocking instead of defining the clock in every assertion.
- On signal notations, I like the _n for active low variables
ap: assert property(@ (posedge clk) // not needed if using default clocking
disable iff ($sampled(!rst_n)) // glitch free disable using the $sampled function
(present_state == state0) && in |=> present_state == state1);
// disable iff (!rst_n) // async disable
