‘Dynamic Chains’ is a term we’ve coined to describe a test system that has the ability to drive more that 1 JTAG chain configuration. This may be possible if it has multiple chains driven by different TMS or TCK pins, or a single chain that has multiple JTAG device variations (for example using a Scan Bridge). Before v3.3, XJTAG projects [...]
An interactive XJEase debugger was added in XJTAG 3.2. This can be used to help find problems in your XJEase code. […]
A new major version of XJTAG – version 3.2 – is now available from our website for users who are in maintenance. […]
This post is to try to clarify what XJTAG understands by the term “differential termination”. […]
A few people have asked us how to deal with differential pins when writing XJEase tests. They see them change value on an oscilloscope during the Connection Test, but aren’t sure how to deal with them explicitly in .xje files. […]
This article is a summary of our answers to various customers who have asked us how to convert between XJTAG, Windows and Unix timestamps, so that they can correctly pass data between test systems. […]
From version 2.6.2 onwards XJEase supports the printing of device, pin and net links which launch and get highlighted in Layout Viewer from XJRunner and XJDeveloper (provided there is an ODB++ netlist available for the board). […]
The Safe bitstream gets mentioned occasionally in our documentation and warning/error messages and this blog post attempts to shed some light on what it is and what it’s used for. […]
We see a lot of logic components used on boards that come through our office. Most often we see buffers, bus transceivers and devices of that nature, but also plenty of the usual discrete logic chips – simple gates, decoders, encoders etc. […]
A frequent question from customers is, “Why is my new XJEase test function not listed when I create an XJRunner test?” XJEase Functions For a function to be eligible to be made available to XJRunner it must be in the main project (.xje) file or a device file, or in a code file specified either [...]
