Camera, Audio, Video UDL Development and Enablement in Pre-Silicon and Post-Silicon Environment

Abstract

Intel is known for manufacturing of processors, so pre-processor and post-processor testing and validation is important task needed before putting its product in market. The processor has many functionalities and rigorous testing and validation of those functionality is required before the product goes into market. Manual testing methods for validating of hundreds of features as well as function- alities for processor and reporting bugs is really time consuming and monotonous task which is prone to error. This can even delay the time to market and possibility of failure in market. In the recent years, Intel is focusing in atomization of these testing and verification methods to increase the robust and reliability of product in the market. The aim of this project is to automate the test cases of camera, audio and video and validate the functionalities of Intel core processor platform. Automation to validate the features and functionalities and finding bugs for processor can reduce time to market product. Manual testing may not detect each and every bugs. So automa- tion framework should be used to find all the major bugs. By using automation framework, good coverage of functionalities are possible which can identify each and every bugs of system under test. In this project, camera, audio and video functionalities are validated and sub func- tionalities like bus, interrupt etc are also validated. One automation framework is developed by Intel for testing and validating of Intel core processor. So using that framework one single script is generated and using that script, features are validated.
