System, apparatus and method for functional testing of one or more fabrics of a processor

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes at least one fabric and a fabric bridge controller coupled to the at least one fabric. The at least one fabric is used to interface with a plurality of intellectual property (IP) blocks of the apparatus, the at least one fabric including at least one status storage. The fabric bridge controller may be configured to initiate a functional safety test of the at least one fabric in response to a fabric test signal received during functional operation of the apparatus, receive a result of the functional safety test via the at least one status storage, and send to a destination location a test report based on the result. Other embodiments are described and claimed. 在一个实施例中，一种装置包括至少一个结构和结构桥控制器，该至少一个结构用于与该装置的多个知识产权(IP)块相接合，至少一个结构包括至少一个状态存储装置，该结构桥控制器耦合到至少一个结构。结构桥控制器可以被配置为响应于在该装置的功能操作期间接收到的结构测试信号而启动对至少一个结构的功能安全测试，经由至少一个状态存储装置接收功能安全测试的结果，并且根据结果将测试报告发送至目的地位置。描述并要求保护其他实施例。
