Introduction • What’s the problem: • Assertion in hardware provide good observability for debug, but it may cost large area in complex design. • Proposed method: • This paper shown how hardware assertions can be integrated in existing on-chip debug infrastructure. • Scan-based infrastructure • Trace-based infrastructure
Proposed method • Scan-based infrastructure • Trace-based infrastructure
