Abstract :
An algorithm to verify the correct operation of a microprocessor system bus is presented. It indicates which faults are detected by an instruction or group of instructions, allowing the designer to choose a set of instructions to implement the bus test and verifies the fault coverage obtained by a user-selected set. A set of op-codes for a bus-test-oriented microprocessor is analyzed
