Functional testing of high-speed serial links

A method for performing functional testing of high-speed serial links, the method comprising:

• generating a functional testing program to be executed by a logic circuit array;
• connecting a device under test (DUT) to an electronic supporting chip via a physical interface;
• outputting the function testing program to the DUT that includes a first logic circuit array;
• generating first results, via the DUT, in response to executing the functional test program by the first logic array;
• outputting the function testing program to the electronic supporting chip that includes a second logic circuit array;
• generating second results, via the electronic supporting chip, in response to executing the functional test program by the second logic array;
• and
• diagnosing a physical link based on a comparison between expected diagnostic results associated with the functional testing program, and at least one of the first results and the second results.

A computer program product to control an electronic device to compress graph data, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by an electronic computer processor to control the electronic device to perform a method comprising:

• generating a functional testing program to be executed by a logic circuit array;
• connecting a device under test (DUT) to an electronic supporting chip via a physical interface;
• outputting the function testing program to the device under test (DUT) that includes a first logic circuit array;
• generating first results, via the DUT, in response to executing the functional test program by the first logic array;
• outputting the function testing program to the electronic supporting chip that includes a second logic circuit array;
• generating second results, via the electronic supporting chip, in response to executing the functional test program by the second logic array;
• and
• diagnosing a physical link based on a comparison between expected diagnostic results associated with the functional testing program, and at least one of the first results and the second results.
