Abstract
Semiconductor manufacturers aim at delivering new devices within shorter times in order to gain market shares. First silicon debug is an important issue in order to minimize the time-to-market. In this paper we propose an Infrastructure IP (I-IP) intended to be a companion for processor cores. The proposed I-IP is an efficient, low-cost and easy-to-adopt solution for supporting the silicon debug of microprocessor cores and of other cores in a SoC, as it reuses the hardware introduced for implementing processor software-based self test (SBST)
