Abstract: We present the first on-line BIST and BIST-based diagnostic approach for the programmable interconnect resources in FPGAs. This interconnect BIST is used in the roving STARs approach [1], [3]. The technique provides a complete BIST of the programmable interconnect followed by high-resolution diagnostics to support reconfiguration around the fault for fault-tolerant applications. We have successfully implemented this BIST approach on the ORCA 2C series FPGA and present the results of testing and diagnosing known defective FPGAs.
