Abstract
Computer device(s), apparatus(es), and methods enable and/or perform interface independent test boot of a System on Chip (SoC). A test Direct Memory Access hardware unit (test DMA) and an Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) hardware unit suspend a processor core of the SoC, download a test case, perform a seamless switch into functional mode of the SoC, and execute the downloaded test case. The test DMA may mediate between the ATE and internal memory in the SoC.
