Abstract:
The invention relates to a test environment that is divided up into sections that are different from one another. At least a part of the environment maintains the communication with a main controller and at least one further part generates the commands for the electronic system to be tested. The part that maintains the communication to the main controller consists of at least partially programmable components and the part that generates the stimuli is designed such that the generation of the stimuli is carried out on at least one hardware accelerator and/or at least one cycle-based simulator.
Abstract:
The method involves connecting a circuit unit to be verified to a test bench element (102a-102c) for supplying interface data streams (115a,115b,115c). A command memory unit (107) controlled by a test bench controller provides the test bench elements with command data streams. The test bench elements of the circuit unit to be verified and the test bench controller are clocked using a clock signal (105) from a controllable clock generator (106). A simulation result is output from the test bench elements after simulating the circuit unit to be verified, and stored in a result memory unit (108). The simulation result is evaluated in a computer unit. The clock generator (106) is controlled to maintain and recover the clock signal (105). An Independent claim is also included for an apparatus for simulating a circuit unit to be verified.
Abstract:
The method has a circuit module (101) to be verified connected to at least one test bench element (102a,..102n) via an adapter (301,302), with a control data stream fed to the test bench element from a test bench controller (103), for providing a corresponding data stream between the test bench element and the adapter, providing a signal level adaption for providing an interface data stream between the adapter and the circuit module. An Independent claim for a device for simulating and/or testing a circuit module is also included.

Method involves connecting the circuit unit being verified via at least one self-registering test bench element, and supplying a control data flow (111) from the test bench controller (103) to the circuit unit being verified, via a test bench element, and then delivering a test bench element data flow from the test bench element to an associated self-registering element (105,106) of the simulation arrangement and then supplying a self-registering data flow to the test bench controller (103) of the simulation arrangement, and driving the test bench element by the test-bench controller (103) with the control data flow (111). An Independent claim is given for a device for self-registering of test bench elements.

The test environment (1) has a plurality of test bench elements (11, 12, 13), which emit stimuli via a respective line (9), or receive reaction signals of the system (3). The test bench elements (11, 12, 13) have a respective memory (17) for saving test commands and a generator (19) for generating the stimuli or for evaluating the reaction signal, said generator (19) executing the test commands.
Abstract:
Method for describing a test environment for examination of microelectronic systems (S). The description concerns data registers for recording data and processing units for processing data that are combined in hardware components. Data processing operations that are to be solved within fixed times to complete operations are solved in an abstract level (AM) and concrete tasks for register operation are defined and undertaken in a concrete description plane (KM), especially a register-transfer level. Thus a hardware unit (PE) is described at least partially in an abstract level (AM) using abstract description means and the abstract description is interpreted and converted into a concrete plane, such as a RTL plane.
