New ASSET InterTech eBook Explains How QPI Self-Healing Bus Can Hinder Circuit Board Quality
According to a new eBook from ASSETÃ-® InterTech, circuit boards with self-healing buses like IntelÃ-® QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) can be a challenge to test and assure board quality unless JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) tests are included in manufacturing. ASSET (www.asset-intertech.com) is the leading supplier of debug, validation and test tools based on embedded instrumentation for...
Read More »JTAG-based Embedded Debugger diagnoses Intel x86 systems.
ScanWorks embedded diagnostics solution implements hardware-based run control in system firmware. Once debugger has been installed, systems can be debugged remotely from anywhere and at anytime without any external JTAG emulator hardware. Firmware operates out of x86-based circuit board's service processor or Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and may be implemented in FPGA on board. Solution...

The IEEE 1687 Internal JTAG (IJTAG) standard enhances the portability and re-use of embedded instrument intellectual property (IP) and defines a dynamically scalable on-chip network for instrumentation IP. A new eBook published by ASSET InterTech (www.asset-intertech.com), a leading supplier of software and hardware debug, validation and test tools, explains these innovations and others such as...
Read More »New eBook Shows How to Avoid Conflict Among Embedded Test Access Ports when Integrating SoC IP Blocks
Richardson, TXÃ- – Cores and other blocks of intellectual property (IP) often feature a test access port (TAP). When multiple such IP blocks are integrated into a system-on-a-chip (SoC), their TAPs become embedded. Such embedded TAPs (eTAP) are prone to conflict with each other, which can prevent engineers from accessing IP blocks during SoC debug, validation or test. A new eBook from ASSET...

Coinciding with a major step toward final approval of the new IEEE P1687 Internal JTAG (IJTAG) standard for embedded instruments, a new tutorial explains how IJTAG can streamline the validation, test and debug of both the semiconductors where instruments are embedded and circuit boards where they are deployed. Written by Al Crouch, vice chairman of the IEEE P1687 IJTAG working group and chief...
Read More »I2C Functional Tests on Prototypes without Operating Software Accelerates Design Validation
A new eBook explains how the circuit board design validation process can be accelerated by performing at-speed functional tests on the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus interfaces on prototype boards before their operating software is available. The test strategy involves temporarily inserting embedded instrumentation intellectual property into an on-board field programmable gate array (FPGA)...
