Abstract

The increasing need for high-performance dependable systems with and the ongoing strong cost pressure leads to the adoption of commercial off-the-shelf devices, even for safety critical applications. Ad hoc techniques must be studied and implemented to develop robust systems and to validate the design against all safety requirements. Nonetheless, white-box fault injection relies on the deep knowledge of the system hardware architecture and it is seldom available to the designer. Furthermore it would require enormous simulation time to be carried out. This work presents an enhanced architecture for fast fault injection to be used for design-time coverage evaluation and runtime testing. A test case will be presented on Xilinx Zynq system on programmable chip, suitable for design-time diagnostic coverage evaluation and online testing for safety-critical systems resorting to the proposed fault injection methodology.
