TESTING SOC WITH PORTABLE SCENARIO MODELS AND AT DIFFERENT LEVELS

摘要

A method for testing a system-on-a-chip (SoC) is described. The method includes parsing a file to determine functions to be performed components of the SoC. The method further includes receiving a desired output of the SoC and generating a test scenario model based on the desired output of the SoC. The test scenario model includes a plurality of module representations of the functions and includes one or more connections between two of the module representations. The desired output acts as a performance constraint for the test scenario model. The test scenario model further includes an input of the SoC that is generated based on the desired output, the module representations, and the one or more connections. The test scenario model includes a path from the input via the module representations and the connections to the desired output.

1. A method comprising:
receiving a file describing a system-on-a-chip (SoC); parsing the file to determine one or more functions to be performed by one or more hardware components of the SoC, wherein the SoC is fabricated on a chip; receiving a desired output of the SoC; and generating a test scenario model based on the desired output of the SoC and the functions to be performed, the test scenario model including one or more module representations of the functions, the test scenario further including one or more connections between two of the module representations, each connection providing a direction of flow of data between the two module representations, wherein the desired output acts as a performance constraint for the test scenario model, the test scenario model further including an input of the SoC that is generated based on the desired output, the module representations, and the one or more connections, the test scenario model including a path from the input via the module representations and the connections to the desired output, wherein the method is executed by a processor.
