Easier creation of boundary-scan projects
XJTAG releases the new version 3.13 of JTAG boundary-scan tools. This version introduces an efficient method for dealing with build variants, i.e. assembled boards that share a common PCB layout but have component differences.
The version has the following new features, among others:
- An algorithm recognizes I2C components. Basic tests for this are created automatically.
- The handling of power and earthing networks during test project creation is simplified.
- Images can be added to message fields and dialogs, which are displayed to the operator.
For example, it is now possible to create a single baseline project and then define how each variant differs from this baseline. After importing BOM files for each variant, a wizard compares the baseline BOM with the imported one and makes suggestions on how to adjust the boundary scan test.
The new algorithm recognizes I2C interfaces so that all basic tests are then carried out automatically. Base tests for I2C components are also created automatically if none are available in the library.
Various algorithms are used to identify power and earthing networks. The results are summarized in a single list with the new version. Each identified network is given a score to determine the probability that it is a power or earth network. Information about XJTAG will be presented at the Göpel stand -dir/vk-
