Regressions, Debugging, and CoverageDataLogger

The DSI-2/CPHY IA has a robust event-based infrastructure that is used for capturing detailed data during execution of tests. Using this data, real-time viewing of DSI-2 & CPHY operation is simple. For example, time-correlated viewing of CPHY and DSI-2 events, both HS and LP, including errors. Also, per-lane C-PHY wire states, symbols, and PHY output data can be viewed and correlated with high-level protocol, to debug lane errors for example.

The DSI-2/CPHY IA comes with a test suite that can be the basis of a DSI-2 CTS regression suite. The DSI-2/CPHY IA has a powerful programming API that accesses all of the instrument capabilities, and provides for thorough self-checking using events and statistics. A basic GUI is also available, including a data-logger for regressions.

In addition, the same event infrastructure can be used to build a functional coverage model. This model can be imported into a UCDB – Unified Coverage Data Base – that may be shared with pre-silicon, or into a separate post-silicon database.
