Enhanced Independent Functional Testing of Xilinx FPGAs

Abstract

Independent functional testing of commercial FPGAs is an important first step in establishing a trusted supply-chain, determining the usability of devices stored in inventory, and monitoring the health status of fielded systems. In this work, we present the Independent FPGA Functional Testing tools for third-party testing of Xilinx FPGAs. These tools exhaustively exercise the millions of logic and interconnect settings and resources on the FPGA fabric to detect stuck-at-faults in the fabric and can be used to detect errors due to wear-out or to identify counterfeit parts.
