System, method and computer-accessible medium for automated identification of embedded physical memories using shared test bus access in intellectual property cores

摘要

A method for identifying a physical memory(ies) associated with a logical memory(ies) in a memory design can include (a) receiving a generic netlist for the memory design, (b) generating a test mode for the memory using the generic netlist, (c) determining the logical memory(ies); (d) performing a simulation on the test mode for the logical memory(ies); and (e) identifying the physical memory(ies) by tracing chip selects for the physical memory(ies) to the logical memory(ies). The identifying the physical memory(ies) may further include identifying which chip selects are active. The identifying the physical memory(ies) can further include tracing an address and a data pin(s) for the logical memory(ies) in the simulation. The identifying the physical memory(ies) can further include determining an address and a data pin(s) for the logical memory(ies) in the simulation.
