This paper presents the prototype of an automatic and model-independent fault injection tool, to be used on an IBM-PC (or compatible) platform. The tool has been built around a commercial VHDL simulator and it is thought to implement different fault injection techniques. With this tool, a wide range of transient and permanent faults can be injected into medium-complexity models. Another remarkable aspect of the tool is the fact that it can analyse the results obtained from injection campaigns, in order to study the Error Syndrome of the system model and/or validate its fault-tolerance mechanisms. Some results of various fault injection campaigns carried out to validate the Dependability of a fault-tolerant microcomputer system are shown. We have analysed the pathology of the propagated errors, measured their latencies, and calculated both error detection and recovery latencies and coverages.
