Abstract
Embodiments include methods, and computer system, and computer program products for performing system functional test on a chip having partial-good portions. Aspects include: initializing, by system functional test software, a service engine of the chip, performing, by service engine, system functional test, and completing system functional test of chip. The chip may include service engine, a service engine memory and one or more “partial-good” portions. The initializing may include: loading system functional test software into the service engine memory, identifying each “partial-good” portion of the chip, writing a “partial-good” parameter for each “partial-good” portion of the chip identified to service engine memory, and triggering execution of system functional test. Method may include: decoding system functional test software, retrieving “partial-good” parameters, initializing “partial-good” portions of chip, and performing system functional test on “partial-good” portions of chip. The chip may include is a processor chip that has one or more “partial-good” cores.
