Embedded hardware and software self-testing methodologies for processor cores
2000
Proceedings of the 37th conference on Design automation - DAC '00
We propose a new software-based self-testing methodology for processors, which uses a software tester embedded in the processor memory as a vehicle for applying structural tests. ...
Currently, Built-In Self-Test (BIST) is the primary self-test methodology available and is widely used for testing embedded memory cores. ...
In addition to the test overhead required by the insertion of BIST structures, hardware-based logic BIST techniques must be accompanied by design changes required for making the processor-under-test random-pattern-testable ...

IET Computers & Digital Techniques
Here, a 32-bit AES crypto-core is used as a case study in order to analyse the DFA-and the DFT-based Hacking techniques. ...
Therefore, the embedded system testing is considered earlier during the design process and testability is used as one of the objectives for evaluating safety-critical embedded system designs. ...
In order to simplify tests, special hardware has to be added such that testing becomes easier. The process of designing for a better testability is called design for testability (DFT). ...
