Platform for Embedded Instruments

Software Debug

All the tools you need to debug and trace Intel, AMD and Arm embedded applications in one place.

Hardware Validation

Quickly validate both hardware/firmware interactions and operating margins in our design.

Chip Debug

Verify, test and characterize SoCs, FPGAs and ASICs pre- and post-tapeout.

Manufacturing Test

Non-intrusive test technologies to maximize test coverage and diagnostics.

Guidelines for Board Design for Test (DFT) based on Boundary Scan

Implementing boundary scan Design for Test (DFT) guidelines adds the unique capability of accessing onboard boundary scan test resources for a non-intrusive test which provides open and short faults coverage.

Everything You Need to Know About ScanWorks Interconnect Part 5: Operations of the TAP and the BC_1 Cell

January 23, 2023

Let’s continue with our example and see what happens after the EXTEST instruction is loaded, decoded, and the boundary scan register is configured between the TDI and TDO ports.

Everything You Need to Know About ScanWorks Interconnect Part 4: The Test Access Port (TAP) State Machine

January 10, 2023

Let’s dig a bit deeper into how the TAP works. The TAP provides 4 major operations within a boundary scan device.

IEEE 1149.1-2013: Excludable Segments

December 29, 2022

The 2013 Revision of the IEEE 1149.1 Standard incorporates support for dynamic data registers that can change in length and organization, unlike those fixed ones specified by the 2001 Revision. This allows, for example, definition of “excludable segments” for the boundary scan register (BSR); perfect for dealing with BSR segments in different power domains, some powered up and some not. How does this work?
