Testing electronic circuits has been an important topic in the industry since the first transistor was developed, and today it is as relevant as ever. Test strategies are graded by how close they come ...

Generically, embedded test implies a test capability that has been integrated into a product. Of course, whether that product is an IC, a PCB, or a complete system, embedded test means different ...

With each turn of Moore's Law, designers at every phase in the development process are challenged with new levels of complexity. Chip designers must not only get the integrated circuit (IC) logic, ...

The JTAG port was introduced more than 30 years ago, but has changed as the industry has evolved, says James Stanbridge. For some engineers the term JTAG means a device programming port. For others it ...

Lauterbach and Gleichmann Electronics Research will demonstrate at Embedded World 2010 next month a new way of debugging CPUs that are embedded in programmable logic. The JTAG–based technique combines ...

Cambridge, UK A UK company has developed a JTAG debug scheme that reduces the number of device pins required for debug from five to one. Debug Innovations' J-LINK system was architected and designed ...

Several processor vendors have extended JTAG software debug, often to make it faster, or to add hardware trace capabilities. The NEXUS consortium for example defines an auxiliary port containing a ...

Taken literally, embedded test is just that: test capabilities that exist wholly embedded within a system. Power-on self-test is an example as is a built-in performance-monitoring feature programmed ...

It is fairly common knowledge that hacking into today’s intelligent Internet devices is child’s play in most cases. The main reason is that the devices have little or no innate security designed in.

usbDemon Fully Compatible with Industry-Leading Software Debuggers and Microprocessor Architectures SAN FRANCISCO, CA-March 29, 2004 - Macraigor Systems, an on-chip debug (OCD) industry leader, today ...

Technology people are generally familiar with the Open SystemsInterconnection model for computer networks and protocols, oftenreferred to as the OSIReference Model (ISO 7498)[1].The Basic Reference ...
