An easier way to run SVF or STAPL files in XJTAG projects
There are new global functions in XJTAG 3.6 which are always available to use (like the built-in Connection Test). The functions RUNSTAPL and RUNSVF allow users to run programming files without having to write any further XJEase to enable this. […]
Categorisation Suggestion Improvements
From XJTAG 3.6 onwards the suggested device categories on the Categorise Devices Screen have been renamed and expanded, with separate categories for different types of resistor packs. In addition, the “Suggested Resistors – Other” category now displays the reason for any resistor’s inclusion using a separate “Reason” column, to make the inclusion of a device into this category easier to understand. […]
Arrays in XJEase
From XJTAG version 3.6.0, you can store multiple variables of the same type in an array structure. Arrays are supported for the types INT, STRING and FILE. […]
XJEase Call Stack
From XJTAG version 3.6, the XJEase debugger in XJDeveloper now comes with a Call Stack window providing more information about the XJEase code being executed. […]
XJTAG version 3.6
A new major version of XJTAG – version 3.6 – is now available from our website for users who are in maintenance. […]
Custom cells in BSDL files
The JTAG standard contains definitions for various different types boundary scan cells, each of which have different capabilities, and these allow an IC vendor to accurately describe how the pins on their chips behave. But because not every eventuality can be foreseen the JTAG specification also allows IC vendors to create their own types of boundary scan cells. [...]
