Defense contractor uses ScanWorks PFx tool to solve tough DDR problem in Zynq-7000 design

The defense industry is facing many challenges today as it moves at an unprecedented rate with the adoption of new hardware technologies to combat today’s growing cybersecurity threats. The requirements often call for smaller and more sophisticated designs. To meet these design challenges, defense contractors are turning to System-on-Chip (SoC) silicon.

How ASSET InterTech Transformed a Defense Contractor's Programming Process, Saving Over 11 Hours and Thousands of Dollars

A leading defense contractor faced significant challenges with their FPGA programming process. The client was using a Xilinx XQ7A200T FPGA and encountered issues with their flash programming process. The standard SPI action took an excessive 11 hours to program the flash memory, which was not sustainable for their operations.

Zebra Technologies overcomes vanishing ICT test coverage

Zebra Technologies’ portable printer line had reached the end of the road with in-circuit test (ICT). Faced with a new design that could accommodate only 10 – 15 percent node coverage on an ICT system, Charley Ulmschneider, Zebra’s manager of manufacturing test engineering, had to come up with a more effective high-volume manufacturing test strategy than ICT could provide.

High-End Server Company uses ScanWorks® Embedded Diagnostics for Global, At-Scale Debugging

In the high-end server industry, systems are expected to operate 24 X 7, with extreme performance and close to zero outage downtime. A leading server OEM looked to ASSET to deliver embedded Intel In-Target Probe (ITP) tools for root-cause identification of the most intermittent, difficult-to-debug hardware, firmware and software faults.
