Switching Screens in XJDeveloper and XJInvestigator
In XJDeveloper and XJInvestigator, the ways in which you can interact with the list of screens have been improved. […]
New display modes on the Boards Screen
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. […]
Setting TCK frequency
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 [...]
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. […]
Improvements to the Debug Connection Test Screen
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. […]
Variants Part 5 – Export Options
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. [...]
Variants Part 4 – Setting Up the Test List
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! […]
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. […]
Better Power/ Ground Net Suggestions in XJDeveloper 3.13
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. [...]
