Several emerging Design-for-Debug (DFD) methodologies are addressing silicon debug by making internal signal values and other data observable. Most of these methodologies require ...
Today’s complex integrated circuit designs increasingly rely on post-silicon validation to eliminate bugs that escape from presilicon verification. One effective silicon debug ...
Abstract— This paper presents techniques that enhance automatically generated hardware assertion checkers to facilitate debugging within the assertion-based verification paradig...
Scan-based debug methods give high observability of internal signals, however, they require halting the system to scan out responses from the circuit-under-debug (CUD). This is ti...
One of the most challenging problems in post-silicon validation is to identify those errors that cause prohibitive extra delay on speedpaths in the circuit under debug (CUD) and o...
