Abstract
A method is provided in which a previously verified SoC is coupled to a SoC under test via a communication bus or other type of communication interface. The previously verified SoC is provided with the same test stimuli as the SoC under test and thus, generates expected test results data. The test stimuli are sent to the SoC under test via a peripheral communication interface between the previously verified SoC and the SoC under test. The SoC under test generates actual test result data that is output to the previously verified SoC. The previously verified SoC may then compare the expected test results data with the actual test result data generated by the SoC under test to determine if they match. If the two sets of data do not match, then a mismatch notification may be generated and output.
