Abstract
A method of testing of an embedded core of an integrated circuit ('IC') is described. An IC has a hardwired embedded core and memory coupled to each other in the IC. The method includes writing a test vector to the memory while the embedded core is operative. The test vector is input from the memory to the embedded core to mimic scan chain input to the embedded core. A test result is obtained from the embedded core responsive in part to the test vector input.
