A Fault Simulation Based Functional Safety Platform for Automotive Chips Complying with ISO26262

With the increasing scale of automotive electronics and the gradual maturity of the automotive-grade chip development process, simulation-level fault injection has become the most mainstream fault injection method in the industry. In this paper, a fault injection platform closely coupled with FMEDA based on the Verilog programming interface (VPI) is proposed to solve the functional safety simulation requirements of the ISO26262 for automotive-grade chips at the RT level and GL level. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed platform, a memory protected by CRC has been used for experiment.
