We understand that sometimes (for your own sanity if nothing else) you need to test that your test equipment is working. For this reason, it is possible to run a health-check on XJLink2 hardware (and XJLink2-based hardware) using the self-test feature available in the XJLink Manager. The self test can be run with or without [...]
From XJTAG version 3.5, users are now able to view all the test data from the automated Connection Test by clicking on a link at the end of the Connection Test results within XJDeveloper, XJRunner, or formatted log files in the XJTAG Log File Viewer. The full output viewer shows the test data for one [...]
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. […]
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 [...]
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 [...]
We are in the final stages of a major overhaul of the XJEase device file library and we expect to release it in the next few days. […]
In version 3.4 of XJTAG we have aimed to improve the usefulness of the Errors and Warnings panes by adding a number of new ways to interact with errors and warnings. When you have errors or warnings in your project, it sometimes isn’t immediately obvious what the cause is or where they can be fixed. [...]
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 [...]
One of the exciting new features in version 3.4 of XJTAG is a Waveform View that can display the JTAG chain data from XJAnalyser. The Waveform View can display the waveform traces from pins or buses in XJAnalyser in real time, providing useful debug information for your boards. […]
If you use the BSDL library, a new option will now appear (from XJTAG version 3.3.7) when you categorise a JTAG device in XJDeveloper by selecting it from the library - it will offer to copy the BSDL file into another folder (defaulting to your local project directory). It is up to you whether to [...]
