XJTAG 3.12 adds the ability to rotate the layout viewer. This can be useful in situations where it is difficult to rotate the physical board under test. To rotate the layout view use the ‘View’ menu and then select ‘Rotation’. […]
In XJTAG 3.12, from XJDeveloper, you can now define the level of access that XJRunner/XJInvestigator users have to features of your packed project, using the XJPack file settings. Disabling a feature will override any user privileges the XJRunner user may have (e.g. disabling editing the test list would disable this for all users in XJRunner, [...]
In XJTAG 3.12 we have expanded the capabilities of our Signal Integrity testing. Rather than simply reporting any errors found in the attempted scans, it will now inspect those errors and suggest possible causes. […]
(This updates an older article due to the addition of the Excluded category in XJTAG 3.12) One of the questions we are commonly asked by new users, and also by users who have not used XJTAG for a while and are coming back to it, is about the differences between device categorisations in XJDeveloper. [...]
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. […]
A diff is a comparison showing differences between the contents of files. This article is specifically about displaying the difference between the a project’s current version of an XJEase library file, and the latest version of that file available from the library that it belongs to. […]
With XJTAG 3.11 we’ve made some improvements for working with projects that use the Dynamic Chains feature. Previously, the Analyser, Debug Connection Test, and the Chain Debugger feature would always use the default profile for your project. Using a different profile for these features would require you to manually change the default profile in XJDeveloper. [...]
In XJTAG 3.11 we’ve added configurable oscillator functionality which can be used on any XJLink2-based controller. The oscillator operates independently of TCK, so can run when TCK is not running and can be set to any frequency from 10 kHz to 166 MHz (in 10 kHz increments) regardless of the current TCK frequency. [...]
The second part in this 2 part series about the new user libraries feature in XJDeveloper 3.11 will explain how user libraries are useful in XJDeveloper. When devices are categorised using library files (as opposed to using files saved on disk) you can re-use these library files in other XJDeveloper projects with ease and all [...]
A Bill Of Materials (BOM) can be added to a board by importing from the netlist, from a suitable schematic file, or from a separate BOM file. […]
