Abstract

This paper shows how to adapt the P1500 Design-For-Test standard through network management protocols to make the testing problem of System-On-Chips (SoCs) easier and cost-effective. For this purpose, a SoC is analyzed as a distributed system in which its own basic components or IP Cores (Intellectual Proprieties) are considered as network agents according to SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) protocol. An experimental study was carried out to show the effectiveness of such an approach.
