TMS320C55x Self-check Program: Version 1.0

The TMS320C55x?(C55x?) self-check program verifies the operation of DSP devices in the C55x generation by checking for proper operation of the CPU core and internal RAM. On-chip peripherals are not tested since doing so would be target system dependent. It is important to note that this program only provides a confidence check. It is not as comprehensive as the tests done at production, which thoroughly check the device?s logic, performance, and electrical parameters. While every attempt has been made to provide a compact self-check program that will exercise as much of the device as possible, this program is not capable of detecting all potential faults. This application report describes the self-check program and the methodology used to check C55x instructions.
