Editors: Find and Replace enhancements
XJTAG 3.12 has extended the functionality of the Find and Replace dialog that is accessible when viewing XJEase or BSDL code files. […]
Categorising devices: Ignored, Unfitted, Excluded or Uncategorised?
(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. [...]
Placing an Infineon Aurix™ TriCore™ TC3xx Microcontroller into Boundary Scan Mode
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. […]
XJTAG statement about log4j vulnerability
There has been a lot of press about the recently discovered vulnerabilities in the Apache log4j software component, and companies are starting to do due diligence about whether they are exposed to related exploits due to its inclusion in software that they own. XJTAG would like therefore to reassure customers that no XJTAG software uses [...]
Installing XJTAG when Microsoft Defender Controlled Folder Access is enabled
Microsoft Defender has an optional feature called Controlled Folder Access, which is designed to protect sensitive folders from being modified by malicious software. This feature is not switched on by default and is only available if you are using Microsoft Defender Antivirus or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint; if you’re using a third party antivirus solution [...]
Better filtering of Log Files
One new feature in XJTAG 3.11 is the ability to filter the formatted log files in the File List of the Log File Viewer based on a variety of different criteria. […]
Setting default pin values in XJEase
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 [...]
SWD support now added to XJEase
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 [...]
Easier access to test result information from XJIntegration
With XJTAG 3.11 we’ve made a few improvements to the .NET XJRunner integration and our LabVIEW VIs. […]
Importing BOM From Excel Files
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. […]
