ScanWorks FPGA-Controlled Test Software

The FPGA-Controlled Test Development software is an automated and extremely flexible methodology for embedding a board tester with the functionality you have chosen. You’ll simply select and configure the instruments needed and ScanWorks automatically connects them into a cohesive on-chip tester architecture. Next, it facilitates the synthesis of this tester into firmware for the FPGA and creates the software image for programming the FPGA. Once inserted, ScanWorks serves as a drag-and-drop user interface for operating the board-tester-in-a-chip.

FCT key features:

• Validate, test and debug boards with an FPGA before the FPGA’s design and firmware are available
• Increase test coverage
• Accelerate test times by running multiple instruments concurrently
• Program flash memories at maximum memory speeds
• Generate an FPGA-based tester without being an FPGA design expert (Verilog code is automatically generated, synthesized and translated into a program file for the target FPGA)
• Access a growing library of embedded instruments and other intellectual property (IP) that includes memory BIST, memory link test, fast flash programming, pattern generator, capture buffer and other new instruments every day (Access to instruments is included with all ScanWorks FCT licenses.)
• Embed testers in FPGAs from Xilinx®, Altera® and others
