一种FPGA验证与测试方法介绍

文章重点介绍了一种FPGA验证与测试的方法。该测试方法的优点是不依赖于芯片设计与测试机台,低成本、开发周期短。基于PC、ATE与自制转换软件,对FPGA验证与测试开发技术进行研究。PC主要完成bin文件的生成,自制转换软件主要将bin文件转换为机器可识别的atp文件。ATE导入配置文件、完成信号输入与输出验证。基于该理论对Xilinx公司的XCV1000进行了实验,实验表明该方法可行并能快速实现测试开发与芯片验证,且具有很好的通用性,可用于其他FPGA芯片的测试、研究与验证,还可以应用于不同的ATE机台。

One for FPGA Verification and Testing Methods

This paper focuses on validate and test method of FPGA. The advantage of this method is independent of IC design and ATE, low test cost, short develop time. Based on PC, ATE and Self-applied conversion software, experiments are conducted to research on validate and test on the FPGA. PC main completes bit file, self-applied conversion software to achieve file conversion from bit to atp, ATE imports configuration files, then implements the signal input and output validation. Based on the theory, Experiments carried out on the QVR1000 of Xilinx Inc. Experiments show that the method is feasible and can rapidly achieve test development, and has a good versatility, Can be used to Other FPGA chip testing, research and verification, Can be application this method to kinds of ATE.
