Abstract
A graphical user interface (GUI) that configures a test for a circuit. More particularly, the circuit includes a built-in-self-test (BIST) compatible device and has a test configuration. The device has an associated value. Moreover, the circuit, the device, and the associated value are defined in a circuit definition. The GUI includes a GUI object representing the circuit, a GUI object representing the BIST compatible device, and a GUI object representing the associated value. Furthermore, at least one of the GUI objects is configured to allow a modification to the GUI object and to reconfigure the test configuration in response to the GUI object modification. Also, the GUI object is further configured to modify itself to reflect a modification of the circuit definition. More particularly, the device may be an interconnect built-in self-test (IBIST) compatible device having registers, ports and lanes of the ports.
