Method of switching external models in an automated system-on-chip integrated circuit design verification system

摘要

A system for verifying an integrated circuit design is provided. The system comprising: an I/O controller connected to one or more I/O cores, the I/O cores part of the integrated circuit design; an external memory mapped test device having a switch for selectively connecting one or more of the I/O cores to corresponding I/O driver models; a bus for transferring signals between the I/O controller and the switch; and a test operating system for controlling the switch.
