Typically, each core provider builds some testability hooks into the underlying core. The test method will provide a solution that will allow automatic identification and configuration of testability features in Integrated Circuits containing embedded cores. Activities Standardization of Embedded Core Test. Creation of awareness through the industry of panel discussions at conferences and workshops, special issues of magazines, etc. The main technical work of P1500 is done in the following Task Forces.
Define language constructs to describe the test aspects of cores.
Define a common standardization roadmap for all P1500 Task Forces and make sure we reach a consistent standard without major gaps. May 2000 . Define common terminology for P1500. This activity takes place in close cooperation with the VSI Alliance . Preparation of the draft P1500 standard.
