DEVICE, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR LSI DESIGN, AND LSI

摘要

The LSI design apparatus 170 adds diagnostic circuitry for micro diagnosis to a behavior level description.Based on behavior level design data 192 for a normal system of a LSI, high level synthesis 182 generates RTL design data 194 and register information 196. Based on the register information 196, a unique address used by a micro diagnosis program is allocated to each register. Circuit components within the normal system are grouped together. Based on the result of the address allocation and the result of the grouping 200, a behavior description for diagnostic circuits constituting a diagnosis system for the LSI is generated and added to the behavior level design data 192 for the normal system, resulting in behavior level design data 204 in which the normal and diagnosis systems are integrated together.
