F29H85x introduces the Logic Power-On Self-Test (LPOST) which addresses the start-up logic self-test requirements for functional safety applications. Coverage is configurable (60%, 80%, 90%) based on the application requirements. The higher the coverage required, the higher will be the impact on boot time. The LPOST test is triggered through software on power-up and/or during functional operation. Once the test is initiated, the device will enter scan test mode, perform the logic self-test, logs the status of the test, enter functional mode and issue a chip to reset. The reset issued after LPOST clears up any random data shifted in by the scan operation.
For power-on self-test, application code does not need to invoke the test. The test will be invoked by the Boot-ROM based on the OTP configuration. Upon completion of the boot process and test status, the application needs to take the appropriate safety action.
