Regressions, Debugging, and Coverage
The CSI-2v2 C/D-PHY IG has a robust generation capability, allowing generic packet sequencing and looping, and video frame sequencing and looping. Video mode allows for complex frame sizing and timing specifications. There is optional compression support.
The CSI-2 C/D-PHY IG comes with a CTS conformance test suite that can be the basis of a complete CSI-2 regression suite. The CSI-2 C/D-PHY IG has a powerful programming API that accesses all of the instrument capabilities, and provides for thorough generation and 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.
