Post-silicon validation using a partial reference model
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, the method performed by a device, wherein the device having registers, the method comprising:
- first executing, by the device when operating in trace mode, a test-case, wherein during the execution utilizing a partial reference model to determine an expected value of at least one register;
second executing, by the device when operating in non-trace mode, the test-case; and
in response to said second executing, checking values of registers based on, at least in part, values determined during said first execution.

Abstract
Method, system and product for post silicon validation using a partial reference model. The method performed by a device having registers, the method comprising: first executing, by the device when operating in trace mode, a test-case, wherein during the execution utilizing a partial reference model to determine an expected value of at least one register; second executing, by the device when operating in non-trace mode, the test-case; and in response to said second executing, checking values of registers based on, at least in part, values determined during said first execution.

12. A computer program product embedded a non-transitory computer readable medium,
wherein said computer program product is a post-silicon testing program of a device; -
wherein said non-transitory computer readable medium retaining a partial reference model of the device; and wherein said non-transitory computer readable medium retaining instructions for the device, which instructions when read by the device, cause the device to utilize the partial reference model when executing a reference pass of a test-case. - View Dependent Claims (13)
