The self-test method of multi-node system on the sheet of above-described embodiment, it is a kind of method of the Data Channel between Router being carried out to built-in self-test, and the test of Data Channel between the Router being realized NoC chip by a kind of gradual channel parallel self-test method, thus avoid providing because of the not smooth of Data Channel when testing Router itself and the IP kernel be connected on Router the result of misleading and waste overall test time and testing cost.
On the sheet of the extensive network-on-chip of above-described embodiment multi-node system self-test method in, the built-in self-test framework of the Data Channel proposed, mainly comprise: the part that (1) increases in Router test interrelated logic, be used for realizing Router to the testing and control of each Data Output Channel itself and control the transmission of detecting information; (2) triggering input channel (the Trigger Input Channel needed for test, be called for short TIC), trigger output channel (Trigger Output Channel, be called for short TOC), feed back input passage (Feedback Input Channel, be called for short FIC), feedback output channel (Feedback Output Channel is called for short FOC) etc.; (3) initialization at the beginning can tested, and statistical test information also judges to test the control unit whether terminated, i.e. test source Test Source in testing.
On the sheet of the extensive network-on-chip of above-described embodiment multi-node system self-test method in, the build-in self-test method of the Data Channel proposed is applicable to homogeneous network interference networks and heterogeneous interconnects network, without loss of generality, the present embodiment with the heterogeneous interconnects network test framework shown in Fig. 1 for schematic diagram is described.
Particularly, for convenience of description, the label of Test Source is designated as 0 by the present embodiment without loss of generality, and the Router be connected with Test Source is designated as Router (1), and the selection of Router (1) needs the concrete condition seeing NoC network, generally speaking, in order to reduce overall test time, certain Router having direct connection relational with more Router can be selected, such as in FIG, Router (1) and other three Router have direct connection relational.
First, the effect of test function that in the present embodiment, Router increases and various passage is in testing introduced.For the router Router (X) that a given label is X, and have with it the quantity (Joined Counter) of the Router of direct connection relational to be JC (X), its label is respectively J (X) [1], J (X) [2],, J (X) [JC (X)].Suppose that Router (X) is any one router in NoC network, so:
Router test function arthmetic statement is as follows:
The router Router (Y) that label is Y is received if A is Router (X), Y ∈ { J (X) [1], J (X) [2], J (X) [JC (X)] } the triggering signal BIST_Trigger that sends from TIC (X ← Y), then sequentially perform the following step:
If 1 Router (X) self-test completes mark BIST_Done when being 0, then Router (X) performs successively:
A BIST_Done is put 1 by (), Router (X) can not be triggered again because other TIC receive new BIST_Trigger signal, and the Source Router ID(simultaneously label Y being recorded as Router (X) is called for short SR (X)).
B () sends triggers feedback information through FOC (X → Y) to Router (Y), namely trigger pass signal (Triggered) here.
C all Data Output Channel(that () tests concurrently are called for short DOC).Specifically, be have all Router of direct connection relational to perform following 1 concurrently to Router (X))-7) step:
(1) send a series of test vector (Test Vector) through DOC (X → Z), wherein Z ∈ J (X) [1], J (X) [2] ..., J (X) [JC (X)] }.
(2) if do not receive test feedback information from corresponding FIC (X ← Z) in limiting time, then think and this time test time-out, and resend Test Vector through DOC (X → Z); If the number of times of test time-out reaches the upper limit (final test time-out) arranged in advance, then judge that FIC (X ← Z) is obstructed, then send through FOC (X → Y) comprise this FIC label, next stop Next Stop(is called for short NS), terminus Final Stop(is called for short FS) Fail (ID=FIC (X ← Z), NS=Y, FS=0) signal.Then, the 7th is jumped to) step.
If (3) receive test feedback information Pass/Fail from FIC (X ← Z), then illustrate that FIC (X ← Z) is unobstructed, and judge that DOC (X → Z) is unobstructed/obstructed, so send Pass/Fail (ID=DOC (X → Z) through FOC (X → Y), NS=Y, FS=0) signal.
(4) send BIST_Trigger signal to Router (Z) through TOC (X → Z).
(5) if do not receive triggers feedback information from FIC (X ← Z) in limiting time, then think and this time trigger time-out, and resend BIST_Trigger signal through TOC (X → Z); If trigger expired times to reach the upper limit (finally triggering time-out) arranged in advance, then judge that TOC (X → Z) is obstructed, then send Fail (ID=TOC (X → Z), NS=Y, FS=0) through FOC (X → Y).Then, the 7th is jumped to) step.
If (6) receive from FIC (X ← Z) the Tested signal that Router (Z) sends, then send test mode mark Tested (ID=TOC (X → Z), NS=Y, FS=0) through FOC (X → Y); If receive from FIC (X ← Z) the Triggered signal that Router (Z) sends, then send test mode mark Triggered (ID=TOC (X → Z), NS=Y, FS=0) through FOC (X → Y).
(7) port test mark Port_Done (X → Z) corresponding for DOC (X → Z) is put 1.
D () puts 1 all as the port Port_Done that all DOC are corresponding, then send test mode mark Done (ID=X, NS=Y, FS=0) comprising Router (X) label, NS, FS through FOC (X → Y).
If when the BIST_Done of 2 Router (X) is 1, then send triggers feedback information through FOC (X → Y) to Router (Y), namely test settling signal (Tested) here.
If B is Router (X) from FIC (X ← Y), Y ∈ { J (X) [1], J (X) [2], J (X) [JC (X)] } receive detecting information (Testing Information), then sequentially perform following two steps:
(1) NS is updated to the value of the SR (X) in Router (X);
If the fifo queue that (2) FOC (X → SR (X)) is corresponding is empty, then send the Testing Information after upgrading directly to Test Source, otherwise, the Test Information after upgrading is added in this queue.
In the above-mentioned description for Router test function, have and what time need to illustrate, first suppose that Router (X) and Router (Y) is the adjacent R outer having direct connection relational for a pair, so:
(1) there is for any pair the transfer of data between two of direct connection relational adjacent R outer to be all two-way (Bidirectional), so, DOC (X → Y) and DIC (Y ← X), FOC (X → Y) and FIC (Y ← X), TOC (X → Y) and TIC (Y ← X), represents same passage respectively;
If after (2) Router (1) is successfully triggered, its Source Router ID and SR (1) is exactly the label of Test Source, so, when detecting information is delivered to Router (1), NS will be updated to the label of Test Source, and namely 0;
(3) in the present embodiment, finally after DOC (X → Y) sends Test Vector will not receive test feedback information from FIC (X ← Y) and be called final test time-out (Finally Test Timeout), finally after TOC (X → Y) sends BIST_Trigger will not receive triggers feedback information from FIC (X ← Y) and be called and finally trigger time-out (Finally Trigger Timeout);
(4) in the present embodiment, the FOC of Router not only needs the detecting information sending self, also the detecting information sending other Router or passage is needed, so the present embodiment sets up the queue structure of a FIFO at FOC, and this queue automatically can send information wherein successively, often send a successfully information, then in queue, delete this information.So the said send order through FOC in the present embodiment refers to: if fifo queue corresponding to this FOC is idle, then send immediately, otherwise, join in this fifo queue;
(5) initial in all Router Source Router ID is None, BIST_Done be 0, Port_Done is 0.
Such as, above-mentioned router test function algorithm is specifically as follows algorithm 2 below:
Secondly, introduce the functions such as the test starting of the Test Source that the present embodiment proposes and detecting information statistics, specifically:

(1) in initialization Test Source, add up the module Summary Block of Testing Information.Mainly comprise: the test mode of all Router mark is initialized as non-test mode Router_UnTested; The test mode of all Channel mark is initialized as Channel_UnTested.
(2) send Test Vector through DOC (0 → 1) to Router (1).
If (3) test DOC (0 → 1) final test time-out, then record respectively in Summary Block: in Test Source Information, FIC (0 ← 1) puts Fail; In Router (1) Information, FOC (1 → 0) puts Fail.Then the 8th step is jumped to.
If (4) receive the information of Pass/Fail from FIC (0 ← 1), then record in Summary Block: in Test Source Information, FIC (0 ← 1) puts Pass, DOC (0 → 1) puts Pass/Fail; In Router (1) Information, FOC (1 → 0) puts Pass, and DIC (1 ← 0) puts Pass/Fail.Then BIST_Trigger is sent to Router (1) through TOC (0 → 1).
If (5) trigger Router (1) finally trigger time-out, then record in Summary Block: in Test Source Information, TOC (0 → 1) puts Fail; In Router (1) Information, TIC (1 ← 0) puts Fail.Then the 8th step is jumped to.
(6), if trigger Router (1) success, namely from FIC (1 ← 0), receive Triggered information, then record in Summary Block: in Test Source Information, TOC (0 → 1) puts Pass; In Router (1) Information, TIC (1 ← 0) puts Pass, and test mode identification renewal is Router_Triggered.
(7) make Test Source enter detecting information statistical model Test_Summary, unless tested (Test_Pass) or stopped because of fault testing (Test_Fail), just exit detecting information statistical model.
(8) terminate all tests (Terminate Testing).
B. b, when Test Source is in Test_Summary pattern, if receive the Testing Information directly being sent by Router (1) or forwarded and come, then perform following steps respectively according to different information:
(1) if Fail (ID=FIC (X ← Z), NS=0, FS=0), then in Summary Block, in record: Router (X) Information, FIC (X ← Z) puts Fail; In Router (Z) Information, FOC (Z → X) puts Fail.
(2) if Pass/Fail is (ID=DOC (X → Z), NS=0, FS=0), then in Summary Block, in record: Router (X) Information, FIC (X ← Z) puts Pass, and DOC (X → Z) puts Pass/Fail; In Router (Z) Information, FOC (Z → X) puts Pass, and DIC (Z ← X) puts Pass/Fail.
(3) if Fail (ID=TOC (X → Z), NS=0, FS=0), then in Summary Block, in record: Router (X) Information, TOC (X → Z) puts Fail; In Router (Z) Information, TIC (Z ← X) puts Fail.
(4) if Tested (ID=TOC (X → Z), NS=0, FS=0), then in Summary Block, in record: Router (X) Information, TOC (X → Z) puts Pass; In Router (Z) Information, TIC (Z ← X) puts Pass.
(5) if Triggered (ID=TOC (X → Z), NS=0, FS=0), then in Summary Block, in record: Router (X) Information, TOC (X → Z) puts Pass; In Router (Z) Information, TIC (Z ← X) puts Pass, and test mode identification renewal is Router_Triggered.
(6) if Done (ID=X, NS=0, FS=0), then the test mode identification renewal in Summary Block in record: Router (X) Information is Router_Done.Then in Summary Block, inquire about the test mode mark of all Router, and may different operating be made according to following difference:
There is Router_Triggered, then represent that test not yet completes, so make Test Source remain on Test_Summary Mode and wait for next Testing Information.
There is no Router_Triggered but have Router_UnTested, then representing that test runs into fault and stops, so make Test Source exit Test_Summary Mode, and Test Source is set to Test_Fail pattern.
Only have Router_Done, then represent that test completes, so make Test Source exit Test_Summary Mode, and Test Source is set to Test_Pass pattern.
Such as, above-mentioned test source function algorithm is specifically as follows algorithm 1 below:

The advantage of measuring technology involved in the present embodiment is mainly:
(1) the measuring technology to interconnection line that the present embodiment proposes is a kind of testing and control flow process in essence, be applicable to the test to the interconnection line in isomorphism interference networks and isomery internet, and can merge mutually with to the testing process of other modules of network-on-chip, such as, after the test of routers itself can being arranged in A.1. (d) of router test function arthmetic statement.
(2) in the algorithm that the present embodiment proposes, once the interconnection line that certain router outputs to another router has been tested, just send respective channel test result through respective feedback output channel to test source immediately, which enhance the utilization rate of feedback path, thus quickly information is sent to test source.
(3) the algorithm that the present embodiment proposes makes router not only have sent this detecting information being just present in the interconnection line between network-on-chip router to test source, also have sent and comprise the detecting information that feedback path, trigger port etc. transmit the passage of detecting information itself, so, if test runs into fault and stops, can judging accordingly specifically to cause because which passage is obstructed.
(4) the algorithm by using the present embodiment to propose, label is that the router of X can be tested its all output channel simultaneously, and once wherein tested by the interconnection line of X → Y, just can trigger Rouer (Y) by Router (X) immediately, and need not wait for that the interconnection line that Router (X) outputs to other routers has been tested, so just can accelerate the test speed of entirety.
Such as, for the heterogeneous interconnects network shown in Fig. 1, in Test Source, store Router Information and Channel Information in Summary Block, as shown in table 1, wherein, the Router number of direct connection relational that what each Router had have is not identical.When Test Source is in Test_Summary Mode, often receives the Testing Information directly being sent by Router (1) or forwarded and come, just upgrade in the relevant position of table 1 according to foregoing method.
Table 1:
The information content directly sent required for each router or forward is different, near test source, the required information forwarded is more, so the capacity of the fifo queue of each router is different, its concrete capacity needs the conditions such as the scale of the size according to an information, transmission information clock frequency used, whole NoC network and topological structure to determine.

2) if to comprise label be the router of X to label be the label ID=DOC (X → Z) of the data output channel of the router of Z unobstructed/not messenger Pass/Fail, label is the router of X by then record in test source statistical module Summary Block: the feed back input passage FIC (X ← Z) of label is to be the router of Z by label in router Router (X) Information of X to label the be router of X is set to unobstructed Pass is that the data output channel DOC (X → Z) of the router of Z is correspondingly set to unobstructed/obstructed Pass/Fail to label; Be that the feedback output channel FOC (Z → X) of label to be the router of X the be router of Z in router Router (Z) Information of Z is set to unobstructed Pass by label to label, the data input channel DIC (Z ← X) of to be the router of X by label to label the be router of Z is correspondingly set to unobstructed/obstructed Pass/Fail;
3) if to comprise label be the router of X is the not messenger Fail of the label ID=TOC (X → Z) of the triggering output channel of the router of Z to label, then record in test source statistical module Summary Block: the triggering output channel TOC (X → Z) of label is to be the router of X by label in router Router (X) Information of X to label the be router of Z is set to obstructed Fail; The triggering input channel TIC (Z ← X) of label is to be the router of X by label in router Router (Z) Information of Z to label the be router of Z is set to obstructed Fail;
4) if to comprise label be the router of X is the mark of test Tested, the then record in test source statistical module Summary Block of the label ID=TOC (X → Z) of the triggering output channel of the router of Z to label: the triggering output channel TOC (X → Z) of label is to be the router of X by label in router Router (X) Information of X to label the be router of Z is set to unobstructed Pass; The triggering input channel TIC (Z ← X) of label is to be the router of X by label in router Router (Z) Information of Z to label the be router of Z is set to unobstructed Pass;
5) if to comprise label be the router of X is the Triggered of trigger of the label ID=TOC (X → Z) of the triggering output channel of the router of Z to label, then record in test source statistical module Summary Block: the triggering output channel TOC (X → Z) of label is to be the router of X by label in router Router (X) Information of X to label the be router of Z is set to unobstructed Pass; The triggering input channel TIC (Z ← X) of label is to be the router of X by label in router Router (Z) Information of Z to label the be router of Z is set to unobstructed Pass, and test mode identification renewal is router trigger state Router_Triggered;
6) if the node test comprising label X completes mark Done, then record in test source statistical module Summary Block: label is be router test completion status Router_Done by test mode identification renewal in router Router (X) Information of X; Then in test source statistical module Summary Block, inquire about the test mode mark of all-router Router, and may different operating be made according to following difference:
A () has router trigger Router_Triggered, then represent that test not yet completes, so make test source Test Source remain on test statistics pattern Test_Summary Mode and wait for next detecting information Testing Information;
(b) do not have router trigger Router_Triggered but have router do not test mark Router_UnTested, then represent test run into fault and stop; So make test source Test Source exit test statistics pattern Test_Summary Mode, and test source Test Source be set to test crash Test_Fail pattern;
C () only has node test to complete mark Router_Done, then represent that test completes; So make test source Test Source exit test statistics pattern Test_Summary Mode, and test source Test Source is set to test successful Test_Pass pattern.
