XJTAG version 3.9
A new major version of XJTAG – version 3.9 – is now available from our website for users who are in maintenance. […]
New Layout Viewer
XJTAG 3.8 includes a new Layout Viewer. With similar functionality to the previous layout viewer, the new viewer contains a number of improvements. […]
An easier way to run SVF or STAPL files in XJTAG projects
There are new global functions in XJTAG 3.6 which are always available to use (like the built-in Connection Test). The functions RUNSTAPL and RUNSVF allow users to run programming files without having to write any further XJEase to enable this. […]
Input parameters for test functions
Until now, XJRunner tests have been limited to functions which have no input arguments and a single return argument (which returns the result). XJTAG v3.5 relaxes that restriction, allowing input in XJRunner tests, though there is still a requirement to have a single return argument for the result. […]
Specifying bus access during XJRunner tests
Alongside other improvements to the XJRunner test setup, XJTAG v3.5 has a new interface to specify bus access from the test system using the XJRunner Setup screen. When you edit a test there is now a Bus Access tab on the dialog, which allows full control of which pins are used to read and/or write [...]
Conditional testing in XJRunner
It has always been possible to construct tests in XJEase which were conditional on something else having happened, or a previous test having passed, but the new v3.5 release includes a number of major enhancements to the setup, running and control of tests in XJDeveloper and XJRunner, some of which make conditional testing much easier to [...]
XJRun – Command-line Test Runner
Most of our users will be familiar with XJRunner, our production test runner, but many perhaps will not be aware of the command-line version, XJRun, that also comes as part of the XJTAG installation. […]
Formatted Log Files
It is now possible to produce log files which save the test output to be displayed at a later time in the same way as it is displayed on the Run Tests screen. When these formatted log files are viewed, they contain the tables, expandable sections and hyperlinks as are displayed in the test output on the Run [...]
Introducing Dynamic Chains
‘Dynamic Chains’ is a term we’ve coined to describe a test system that has the ability to drive more that 1 JTAG chain configuration. This may be possible if it has multiple chains driven by different TMS or TCK pins, or a single chain that has multiple JTAG device variations (for example using a Scan Bridge). Before v3.3, XJTAG projects [...]
Triggering code when tests complete
In Version 3.0.2 and later an additional Settings tab has been added to the XJRunner Setup screen in XJDeveloper. This tab, labelled “Functions”, […]
