ASSET commits to developing open embedded instrumentation tools for Internal JTAG (IJTAG) standard
April 29, 2008 –ASSET® InterTech Inc. is developing and will bring to market open embedded instrumentation tools based on the preliminary IEEE standard, P1687 Internal JTAG (IJTAG). According to Glenn Woppman, president and CEO of ASSET, the standard is close enough to ratification to begin developing tools.
"Electronics manufacturers are realizing that the external design validation, test and debug technologies which they have now are simply running out of gas," said Woppman. "As a result, chip vendors as well as the system manufacturers themselves are embedding instruments into silicon. Now, both the chip vendors and system suppliers need open tools to work with these embedded instruments. For the sake of efficiency and agility, these tools must be able to manage embedded instruments from any chip vendor. This is where the IJTAG standard comes in."
