1. A method of in-field testing electronic components included in a vehicle, comprising:
receiving, in a dedicated local supervisor safety manager component of a primary boot processor, a list of subsystems that are associated with a safety critical automotive application of the vehicle;
determining, by the dedicated local supervisor safety manager component for each subsystem in the list of subsystems, whether verification of compliance with a safety requirement requires that the subsystem be tested at power-on (PON), at power-off (POFF), or during runtime;
dynamically determining, by the dedicated local supervisor safety manager component for each subsystem in the list of subsystems, a coverage level required for performing a built in self test (BIST) on that subsystem; and
performing BISTs on the subsystems at the determined coverage level; and
transmitting, by the dedicated local supervisor safety manager component for each subsystem in the list of subsystems, a safety indication output to a global supervisor safety manager component based on the BISTs performed on the subsystems at the determined coverage level, wherein the safety indication output includes an error output, a fault output, an interrupt output, or any combination thereof.
