%X In this paper, we present a formal model and analysis of the
   AMBA Advanced High\-performance Bus (AHB) on\-chip bus. The
   model is given in CSP||B&\[sh]8212;an integration of
   the process algebra CSP and the state\-based formalism B. We
   describe the theory behind the integration of CSP and B. We
   demonstrate how the model is developed from the informal ARM
   specification of the bus. Analysis is performed using the
   model\-checker ProB. The contribution of this paper may be
   summarised as follows: presentation of work in progress
   towards a formal model of the AMBA AHB protocol such that it
   may be used for inclusion in, and analysis of, co\-design
   systems incorporating the bus, an evaluation of the
   integration of CSP and B in the production of such a model,
   and a demonstration and evaluation of the ProB tool in
   performing this analysis. The work in this paper was carried
   out under the Future Technologies for Systems Design Project
   at the University of Surrey, sponsored by AWE.
