Until now, XJRunner tests have been limited to functions which have no input arguments and a single return argument (which returns the result). XJTAG v3.5 relaxes that restriction, allowing input in XJRunner tests, though there is still a requirement to have a single return argument for the result. […]
Alongside other improvements to the XJRunner test setup, XJTAG v3.5 has a new interface to specify bus access from the test system using the XJRunner Setup screen. When you edit a test there is now a Bus Access tab on the dialog, which allows full control of which pins are used to read and/or write from a bus during the test. […]
It has always been possible to construct tests in XJEase which were conditional on something else having happened, or a previous test having passed, but the new v3.5 release includes a number of major enhancements to the setup, running and control of tests in XJDeveloper and XJRunner, some of which make conditional testing much easier to setup, control and debug. […]
Today (31 Mar 2016) we have released a major update to the XJTAG XJEase library. The new library will be installed if you update to version 3.4.5 of XJTAG which is also released today. […]
This post is an update to the original “Debugging Connection Test (part 1)” post – over time several features in XJTAG have changed considerably and may be hard to find by following my original post. […]
Recently one of our newer customers started on their first solo board setup. They had previously seen XJTAG demonstrated and had also had their initial board setup done by an XJTAG engineer. When they came to setting a board up for themselves they tried to follow the path that the XJTAG engineer had talked them through – […]
In version 3.4 of XJTAG we have aimed to improve the usefulness of the Errors and Warnings panes by adding a number of new ways to interact with errors and warnings. When you have errors or warnings in your project, it sometimes isn’t immediately obvious what the cause is or where they can be fixed. […]
We’ve made some improvements to the Power/Ground nets screen to make it easier to identify power and ground nets. We recommend that the first thing you do after adding your board is to classify the power and ground nets on the boards. This will improve our ability to correctly suggest categorisations for your devices, in particular telling the difference between pull resistors and series resistors. […]
It is now possible to produce log files which save the test output to be displayed at a later time in the same way as it is displayed on the Run Tests screen. When these formatted log files are viewed, they contain the tables, expandable sections and hyperlinks as are displayed in the test output on the Run Tests screen. […]
One of the exciting new features in version 3.4 of XJTAG is a Waveform View that can display the JTAG chain data from XJAnalyser. The Waveform View can display the waveform traces from pins or buses in XJAnalyser in real time, providing useful debug information for your boards. […]
