Cypress BIST(built-in self test). How to operate? How to prepare?

[romanf]

Hi all,

I have a  task of operating BIST on Cypress(CYUSB3014-BZXC) embedded controller. Commands are operated from PC via USB. 

Please help me to do it step by step, from the point of view of hardware (if any steps are necessary) and software.

The test is online, means that after completing BIST Cypress has to return to  regular operations without system rebooting or communication channels reestablishing.

I have seen in the Cypress documentation that there is a limited BIST supported - only for high speed communication channels. I did not see that any BIST is mentioned for other peripherals, memory, etc..   May be I simply did not see the the relevant information.   I have to have maximum functionality available. 

Anyway I do not understand how to operate BIST,  then get the results and return to operational mode.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance,

Roman

Hello Roman,

Unfortunately, FX3 does not support BIST for every peripheral etc
