XJDeveloper 4.0 now has a brand new modern look to the Boards screen with 3 possible display modes: Tile mode, Row mode and Grid mode. The new interactive tile and row controls dedicate more screen space to each board so the data can be presented in a clearer, more readable display. […]
In previous versions of XJTAG the JTAG chains in the circuit were all operated at the same frequency. Because the Optimised Scans feature in v4.0 now allows a different frequency to be set for each chain, some changes to the user interface were required, and as a result the chain frequency settings in the user [...]
Optimised scans is a new feature added to XJTAG 4.0 and it provides a number of improvements aimed at increasing test speed. With Optimised Scans enabled, every JTAG TAP will scan data through at a separate frequency based on the capabilities of the JTAG devices in that TAP group. […]
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 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. […]
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. […]
