Abstract

A solution for mapping core I/O pins to System-On-a-Chip (SOC) I/O pins in order to achieve cost-efficient concurrent test for core-based designs is presented in this paper. The problem of pin mapping is first formulated as two well-known NP-complete problems. A heuristic algorithm is then proposed to determine a solution. The objectives driving this solution are geared towards reducing the total number of SOC pins needed and satisfying the test constraints specified by core integrators. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
