Continuing from XJTAG 3.12’s Enhanced Signal Integrity Analysis feature (see here and here), XJTAG 3.13 brings more algorithms to help identify potential issues with the JTAG chain. This article describes more of the symptoms it can spot and their likely causes. […]
XJTAG 3.13 brings with it an updated Debug Connection Test screen in XJDeveloper and XJInvestigator. The screen is primarily used to find problems with the setup which cause the Connection Test to exit with a broken chain error. […]
XJDeveloper provides a couple of options for exporting variants in XJPack files or as stand-alone XJDeveloper projects. When exporting a project with variants to an XJPack file, a Variants tab is displayed in the XJPack Dialog. This tab allows you to select any combination of the root project and variants to include in the file. [...]
So, you’ve set up your variants with all the right BOM data and categorised all the devices (perhaps using the Suggest Variations wizard), now you need to actually test them! […]
XJTAG 3.13 allows the Layout Viewer to be run as a standalone application. If the Layout Viewer application is selected in the installer it will be installed alongside the other applications in the XJTAG test suite. […]
XJTAG 3.13 adds the ability to display images inside XJEase dialogs when running tests. To add an image to an XJEase dialog, simply pass the filename of the image on disk into the built-in XJEase function as an input parameter. The path may be absolute or relative to the XJDeveloper project file. [...]
One of the new features in XJTAG 3.13 is an option to speed up the setup of new test device files for I²C devices. […]
On the Variants screen in XJDeveloper, the Variant Details panel displays the selected profiles and current variations for the variant selected in the Variants List. […]
XJDeveloper 3.13 includes an improved user interface for categorising power/ ground nets. It is important to identify any power, ground or termination reference nets before attempting to test a board. Failure to do so can result in incorrect test results or even board damage. XJDeveloper attempts to identify these nets to simplify this process. [...]
In this blog post we’ll discuss how to create and setup new project variants from the Variants screen in XJDeveloper. […]
