Abstract
A system on chip (SOC), comprises an external interface that receives test configuration data, transmits test result data, and that transmits and receives application data. A plurality of SOC components, each including an integrated system test (IST) module, wherein at least one of the SOC components includes a controller that communicates with the external interface. At least one of the plurality of SOC components communicates with the controller. At least one of the IST modules is a master IST module that receives the test configuration data and configures the IST modules for testing the plurality of SOC components.
Claims22
A system on chip (SOC), comprising:
- an interface that receives test configuration data, that transmits test result data, and that transmits and receives application data;
- and
- a plurality of SOC components, each including an integrated system test (IST) module,
- wherein at least one of said SOC components includes a controller that communicates with said interface,
- wherein at least one of said plurality of SOC components communicates with said controller, and
- wherein at least one of said IST modules is a master IST module that receives said test configuration data and that configures said IST modules for testing said plurality of SOC components.
A system on chip (SOC), comprising:
- interface means for receiving test configuration data, transmitting test result data, and transmitting and receiving application data;
- and
- a plurality of SOC components, each including integrated system test (IST) means for testing,
- wherein at least one of said SOC components includes control means for communicating with said interface means,
- wherein at least one of said plurality of SOC components communicates with said control means, and
- wherein at least one of said IST means is master IST means for receiving said test configuration data and configuring said IST means to test said plurality of SOC components.
