Abstract
A wireless communication system-on-a-chip comprises a system bus, a set of fixed function processors connected to the system bus, an embedded processor connected to the system bus, and reconfigurable logic connected to the system bus. The reconfigurable logic supports an operational mode and a diagnostic mode. In the operational mode, the system operates to support different air interface protocols and data rates. In the diagnostic mode, the system alternately tests the system, debugs the system, and monitors bus activity within the system.
