Abstract
A method and apparatus for testing of integrated circuits using a Direct Memory Load Execute Dump (DMLED) test module. The method includes loading a test case into a memory using the DMLED test module, loading initialization signatures of fixed pattern into the memory using the DMLED test module, and executing the test case at an operating clock rate of a processor. The method further includes writing result signatures into the memory, and dumping the results signatures from the memory to a tester using the DMLED test module.
