ON-BOARD FUNCTIONAL TEST AND DEBUG PLATFORM FOR PROCESSORS

In the processor manufacturing industry, the current methodology adopted to test and debug processors is by configuring them in the test mode with the use of on-chip or off-chip testers. The tester applies a series of test stimuli and compares the responses from the processor with the predetermin...
