XJEase SWD Enhancements
XJTAG 4.1 introduces enhancements to the ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD) protocol to return protocol operation acknowledgement responses in XJEase. […]
Built-in Test Reset Sequences for devices with nTRST pins
XJTAG 4.1 can automatically generate test reset sequences for many more hardware designs than previous versions. Previously, if a JTAG device had an nTRST pin that needed resetting between tests, you had to manually create a sequence with a waveform like the following: […]
New board to protect against current spikes
One potential cause of damage to an XJLink2 JTAG controller is transient current spikes caused when a board is first powered on and the decoupling capacitors are charged. We’ve talked about this issue on the blog before and shown that, unfortunately, even a very brief spike in current can cause damage to the controller. [...]
Extending XJTAG’s Signal Integrity Error Analysis
Continuing from XJTAG 3.12’s Enhanced Signal Integrity Analysis feature (see here and here), XJTAG 3.13 brings more algorithms to help identify potential issues with the JTAG chain. This article describes more of the symptoms it can spot and their likely causes. […]
Automatic I²C Detection and Setup
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. […]
Variants Part 3 – Adding Variations
On the Variants screen in XJDeveloper, the Variant Details panel displays the selected profiles and current variations for the variant selected in the Variants List. […]
XJTAG version 3.13
A new major version of XJTAG – version 3.13 – is now available from our website for users who are in maintenance. […]
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. […]
XJTAG version 3.12

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. […]
