Abstract
The complexity of modern digital circuits has increased enormously particularly due to paradigm shift from system-on-board to designs embracing embedded cores-based system-on-chips (SOCs). The increased complexity has resulted in a huge challenge in setting up their appropriate fault testing environment. Though enormous efforts were directed to rapidly test very large-scale integrated (VLSI) circuit chips with reasonable cost, with advances in technology, new frontiers emerged. This paper aims at developing a method to verify and test circuit architecture under hardware and software co-design environment, targeting specifically embedded cores-based system-on-chips (SOCs). The well-known concept of design-for-testability (DFT) is utilized in the paper based on the use of ModelSim simulation and verification tool to test simulate the entire design. Some partial results on ISCAS 85 combinational benchmark circuit are provided in the paper, besides a comparison of the results with some previous works.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
