Architecting a new automated validation pipeline for high-complexity FPGA chips

À propos
The FPGA ATS mind map provides a technical framework for managing the Automated Test System (ATS) lifecycle specifically for Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) development. This FPGA ATS template serves as a comprehensive cheat sheet for engineers, covering 44 distinct nodes across four critical phases: orchestration, pre-setup, execution, and reporting. It details the integration of the 'Test Orchestrator for FPGA-ATS' with MTO dashboards and Mobilize plans, ensuring that both FDATS and Full Validation events are tracked accurately. By mapping out the 'Recreation of Scheduler' and the creation of CSV-based test lists, the template helps teams automate the generation of JSON project files and compilation scripts. This structured approach ensures that complex FPGA validation tasks, including Arcadia-based project compilation and multi-mode execution (FPGA target, Native simulation, or 3rd party), are handled with measurable precision and consistent reporting standards.

Comment utiliser ce modèle
Étape 1
Import the ATS template
Open the .xmind file in Xmind desktop or web to view the four-phase FPGA ATS structure.
Étape 2
Customize the test scripts
Navigate to the 'Test Pre-Setup' branch and replace the generic script descriptions with your specific file paths and CSV naming conventions.
Étape 3
Define reporting metrics
Update the 'Test Reporting' nodes to match your team's required output indicators, such as Pass/Fail status or specific error codes.
Questions fréquentes
This template is designed to provide a structured workflow for FPGA Automated Test Systems. It helps engineers organize the transition from test orchestration and pre-setup to the actual test runner execution and final reporting on the MTO dashboard.
Within the 'Test Runner for FPGA-ATS' section, the template includes specific nodes for 'Handling the execution mode', allowing users to toggle between FPGA target, Native simulation, and 3rd party execution for Full Validation (FV).
Yes, the template includes a dedicated 'Project Compilation' branch that covers compilation through Arcadia, reporting of CodeGen tests, and tracking the time taken for each individual test step.
Absolutely. While it references the 'MTO dashboard' and 'Ops', you can easily modify these nodes in Xmind to reflect your specific internal tools, such as Jenkins, Jira, or custom proprietary telemetry dashboards.
