Abstract
The present invention is an on board internal peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus tester for testing internal components of a microelectronic chip. The present invention includes internal PCI testing agents that facilitate the application of test vectors to internal PCI agents from a minimal number of external periphery pins on the chip. The on board internal peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus tester then captures the state of an internal PCI bus and transmits it though the external periphery pins of the chip for analysis to determine if the internal agent components are functioning correctly.
