The use of processor cores is very popular throughout the electronics industry. An IC integrator has many things to worry about, but testing the processor core should not be one of them. You can structure the test aspects of the core in a manner that makes them effective and predictable, regardless of the IC design. Here, I will discuss a test strategy that you can use with any core, although I will focus on ARM cores because they are used in so many designs.
