An initial list from Ian, with additions made during our Mar-8-2010 conference call, includes the following:
- Gateways. The issues with tooling, features on gateways, differences and similarities between gateway devices, etc.
- Using OEM boards or mezzanines. For some there will be no issue here as everything will be designed in-house. Others will make extensive use of OEM parts.
- Results storage and retrieval in embedded applications. May or may not be an issue.
- Design Security. Can you make use of design security features and retain adequate access for test, update etc.?
- Test reuse
- Storage / application of test vectors in embedded applications
- Pre-configured vs. non-configured devices (FPGA's) at time of test - may require different BSDL
