Historically we have provided three mechanisms for defining some form of constant or default values for a pin/net in XJDeveloper. These are BSDL compliance pins, bus disable values and constant pins, which allow you to define pins which XJTAG should keep in a constant state during automated testing, such as with Connection Test. However these [...]
XJTAG 3.11 introduces support for the ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD) protocol in XJEase using our XJLink2-based JTAG controllers. Reading and writing with the SWD protocol is made simple using two new XJEase functions SWD_READ and SWD_WRITE. They handle the transfer of data on the bidirectional data connection, keeping the code in XJEase clean and [...]
With XJTAG 3.11 we’ve made a few improvements to the .NET XJRunner integration and our LabVIEW VIs. […]
A Bill Of Materials (BOM) can be added to a board by importing from the netlist, from a suitable schematic file, or from a separate BOM file. […]
A new major version of XJTAG – version 3.11 – is now available from our website for users who are in maintenance. […]
One of the standard types of testing that is done in XJTAG’s Connection Test is to detect stuck-high and stuck-low faults (shorts to power/ground). Using the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG standard this can be done providing the net has full IN/OUT functionality – that is to say it can both drive output and read input at [...]
We wish all of our customers the best at this difficult time, as everyone tries to keep their production and development moving, amidst supply line issues and staff being temporarily unavailable due to illness or the need to isolate themselves. XJTAG is of course affected by the current situation too, but we would like to [...]
A new major version of XJTAG – version 3.10 – is now available from our website for users who are in maintenance. […]
Microsoft is ending mainstream support for Windows 7 on January 14th, 2020. This means that after this date updates to fix security issues will not generally be available and so machines running Windows 7 will be more vulnerable to security risks and viruses. We understand that many users will choose to continue using Windows 7 after [...]
For many years, the XJEase language has had the READABLE and WRITEABLE built-in functions. Their purpose is to try to work out whether it’s possible to read or write a pin before trying to do so. […]
