Abstract
In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing virtual device observation and debug network for high speed serial IOS. According to one embodiment there is a functional semiconductor device, having therein a serial Input/Output interface (serial IO interface); a device fabric to carry transactions between a plurality of components of the functional semiconductor device; a transaction originator to originate a transactions and issue the transactions onto the device fabric directed toward the serial IO interface; in which the virtualized device logic is to receive the transactions at the serial IO interface via the device fabric and return responsive transactions to the device originator based on the transactions received; signature collection logic to collect signal information based on the transactions carried by the device fabric; and a signal accumulator to generate a test signature based on the signal information collected by the signature collection logic. Other related embodiments are disclosed.
