DRAFT: A Scanning Test Methodology for Dynamic and Partially Reconfigurable FPGAs

A new class of FPGAs that enable partial and dynamic reconfiguration without disturbing system operation, raised a new test challenge: how to assure a continuously fault free operation, independently of the circuit present after many reconfiguration processes. A new on-line test method for those FPG...

Descrição
Resumo:A new class of FPGAs that enable partial and dynamic reconfiguration without disturbing system operation, raised a new test challenge: how to assure a continuously fault free operation, independently of the circuit present after many reconfiguration processes. A new on-line test method for those FPGAs is proposed, based on a scanning methodology and in the reuse of the IEEE 1149.1 Boundary Scan test infrastructure, already widely employed for In-System Programming.
