While there are certainly products that automate the creation of 1500-compliant infrastructures (e.g. Logicvision's), I have yet to see a generic, commercial, 1500 wrapping tool (there are, however, such tools/flows developed and used internally at several companies). Such a tool would need to be part of a greater, system-level, test reuse methodology. I think that SiP/die-stacking requires such a methodology and it will be a driver for more embedded test architecture tools. Cheers, -Stylianos. Hi John,

Thanks for reading, and commenting! Since you're involved in this area, what do you think about automating the *insertion* of this kind of wrapper, similar to some of the tools for 1149.1? Will that come about anytime soon? Cheers, JMF Hi Stylianos!

Your readers should know that the IEEE 1500 verification flow described in the ARM article is actually commercially available as an EDA tool-set by Globetech Solutions. As we demonstrated in the article, it effectively serves the purpose of "verifying that the wrapper, control logic and CTL all match and comply with the 1500 and 1450.6 specs".
