With the release of XJEase Library build 192 we included a notable update to the SPI NOR Flash test files: support for Octal SPI NOR Flash devices[1], also known as OSPI or OPI. Octal SPI NOR Flash is a variant of SPI NOR Flash that supports the use of an 8-bit bidirectional I/O bus for [...]
We have recently seen Agilex BSDL files that cause XJDeveloper to emit errors looking like the image below. The cause of this is a mismatch of information. […]
With the release of the XJLink-PF40 and XJTAG 4.1, setting up your pin mapping might have just got a bit more complicated. The XJLink-PF40 supports twice as many TAPs (8) and has twice as many I/O pins (40) as the XJLink2 so there can be more work involved in setup. Luckily, XJDeveloper 4.1 contains some [...]
We are starting to see an increased number of questions about support for DDR5 DIMMs and SDRAM devices, which are rapidly becoming mainstream. Support for DDR5 devices will be added to the XJEase Library in the near future, but in the meantime XJTAG can now make DDR5 models available on request to customers with a [...]
Here is a summary of the additions to the XJEase library made recently in library version 183. Note: Some files in this library require an XJTAG software version of at least 3.10.6. […]
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 3.12 expanded the capability of the Signal Integrity Analysis in XJTAG tools, adding the ability to suggest certain causes of error. This post continues from the previous post on this subject, and describes further errors that XJTAG tries to identify. […]
XJTAG 3.12 has extended the functionality of the Find and Replace dialog that is accessible when viewing XJEase or BSDL code files. […]
(This updates an older article due to the addition of the Excluded category in XJTAG 3.12) One of the questions we are commonly asked by new users, and also by users who have not used XJTAG for a while and are coming back to it, is about the differences between device categorisations in XJDeveloper. [...]
Some devices need more than a standard Test Reset sequence to enter the state when they behave as described in their BSDL file and boundary scan can run. Infineon’s Aurix TriCore TC3xx microcontroller family is one such group. […]
