Data processor test architecture |
摘要 |
A test architecture in a data processing system having a plurality of circuit portions, coupled via a communication bus. In the system, a dedicated test register is placed in predetermined circuit portions which each can then operate in a normal mode and a test mode. A central processing unit (CPU) may initiate a test operation in any of the circuit portions in response to software executing by writing an operand to a centralized test module. Operands are scanned into and out of a circuit portion being tested while the central processing unit is capable of performing non-test processing activites. The CPU may also test itself using a dedicated test register which can only cause the CPU to enter a test mode after the register is written to. |
