With the new XJEase Library we have made some fairly extensive changes to reduce code duplication, to improve test coverage, and ease of use. If you have used additional code files from the XJEase library to create your own test scripts you may find that updating to the new versions of these files causes errors in your project. Below are the common errors you might see and how to fix them. […]
Today (31 Mar 2016) we have released a major update to the XJTAG XJEase library. The new library will be installed if you update to version 3.4.5 of XJTAG which is also released today. […]
We are in the final stages of a major overhaul of the XJEase device file library and we expect to release it in the next few days. […]
1149.6 testing is coming of age, and though XJTAG has supported IEEE Std. 1149.6 since software version 2.1 (released in 2008) it seems to us that 1149.6 devices are becoming much more common in the last couple of years. […]
‘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 could only represent a single static JTAG chain. With our new functionality, multiple JTAG chain variations can be defined, set up and run within a single XJTAG project in a single test run. […]
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. […]
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). […]
