Fault: Open-Source EDA’s Missing DFT Toolchain
Manar Abdelatty, Mohamed Gaber, Mohamed Shalan
Abstract
We introduced Fault, the first and only practical open-source DFT toolchain compatible with HDL designs. Fault toolchain provides all needed utilities to generate TVs, simulate faults, and insert scan chains. The fault is aiming at filling some of the gaps in the emerging open-source EDA ecosystem. Also, Fault provides all the needed infrastructure for research activities in digital application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) testing.
