Abstract

We present a system which automatically inserts BIST hardware to a circuit described in VHDL. An appropriate VHDL modeling style for automatic insertion of BIST hardware is investigated. Use of BILBO is primarily pursued in the system. Algorithmic and rule-based approaches are used in the insertion of BILBO. Test scheduling and control signal distribution are also performed by the system.
