Run Powerful Diagnostics That Delivers Repeatable Fault Isolation within Minutes
Longmont, Colo. - Kozio, Inc. (www.kozio.com) the developer of In-System Diagnostics (ISD), today announced that it has made available a 30-day free trial of their kDiagnostics® Suite, for users of the BeagleBoard development platform. The 30-day trial gives users an interactive guided tour of Texas Instruments' (TI) OMAP3530 and the BeagleBoard, along with access to a full validation solution. The free trial is available now and can be downloaded directly from the Kozio website (http://kozio.com/eval).
"Kozio has worked closely with TI for over two years to develop a standard, supported validation solution for their OMAP(TM) technology," stated Clint Ostrander, President & CEO, Kozio, Inc. "We are happy to be extending that support to the BeagleBoard community, providing them unmatched design verification and hardware validation."
The BeagleBoard processor boots directly from a Secure Digital (SD) card containing kDiagnostics. Users have the power to explore and understand their BeagleBoard, verify proper performance, and have full access and control of both low-level hardware and high-level functionality in real-time. Unlike other diagnostic and test solutions, kDiagnostics initializes devices, configures memory, isolates and easily reproduces faults within minutes, and provides other features beyond the boundaries of traditional verification or validation approaches.
Users can browse and run Kozio's library of tests through the click of a mouse. Devices can be programmed easily and quickly, including NOR and NAND flash memories, and SD cards. Users can read and write memory, peek and poke hardware registers, control GPIO lines, access I2C devices, and configure power resources. Custom commands can be scripted using any text editor. These scripts can perform complex flow control, such as looping and conditional branching using the programming constructs available through the Kozio scripting language.
About Kozio Technology
In-System Diagnostics (ISD) is a powerful and proven new technology for comprehensive verification and validation of electronic products. Unlike other verification and validation tools, it runs on actual hardware and replaces customized test procedures with a standardized extensible solution that significantly accelerates hardware test time. The core of ISD consists of an embedded binary, plus interpreter, that isolates and functionally evaluates device performance at-speed, against engineering design specifications, and over an extended operating range. It installs on bare silicon, is not an OS, and verifies hardware designs without scheduler interrupts or other OS-induced perturbations that may influence hardware performance and/or obscure the source of faults.
Availability
Kozio's kDiagnostics 30-day free trial for the BeagleBoard, based on OMAP3530 processor featuring ARM® Cortex(TM)-A8 processor support, is immediately available. A 30-day trial for the BeagleBoard-xM will be available in October 2010.
