Cortex-M instruction set test?

Allen Willson

Does there exist an instruction set test for the Cortex-M series?  This might also be known as a CPU instruction test, or by other terms...  Such test would be used to diagnose potentially faulty CPU or possibly the memory subsystems, etc.

Thanks for any consideration.

    To follow up on my original post, since many are regularly viewing this thread over the weeks, I will post concerning NXP's SafeAssure Program.  This Program became available at NXP as a result of the merger with Freescale.  To date, I am still not aware of an open software for testing the CPU core, but this is mostly due to the certifications required in safety critical applications.

    SafeAssure includes a Structural Core Self Test which is executed in software at startup and at run-time. The included tests cover most of the core instructions, as well as the tests targeting specific IP blocks of the core.  The SCST is a software product provided for a fee. This software is usable with other methods to support Whitegoods, Industrial and Automotive applications requiring certification to applicable IEC and ISO standards.

    For more information:
