Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing a system-on-a-chip comprising a processor and a configurable system logic (CSL) including a plurality of banks arranged in an array coupled to the processor. The system on a chip further includes a built-in self test (BIST) mechanism coupled to the CSL to perform tests on the CSL to verify that the banks and interconnections between the banks are functioning properly.
