JTAG Live Buzz

JTAG Live™ Buzz provides an easy solution for debugging boards too crowded for traditional probing with scopes or logic analysers – what’s more it’s totally free. Buzz is ideal for electronics engineers and technicians to use in checking printed circuit boards for basic continuity testing and correct operation. Buzz simply uses the built-in pin access provided in boundary-scan (IEEE Std 1149.1) compliant devices to perform pin to pin continuity tests (Buzz-outs) and can also sample pin activity on input pins.

  • Easy to learn, easy to use
  • Overcomes limited access to device pins
  • Free boundary-scan continuity teste
  • Continuity test
  • Works without a netlist
  • Includes ‘watch’pin sample feature
  • Test 10 connections at once
  • Test simple logic clusters

Feature

  • Works without a netlist
  • Support for multiple boundary-scan chains
  • Scan chain infrastructure test
  • Sample pin activity
  • Pin-to-pin (p2p) continuity testing
  • Multi-pin-to-multi-pin (np2np) continuity testing
  • Multi-hardware support Explorer/USB, Altera, Xilinx

JTAG Live AutoBuzz

AutoBuzz is a totally unique new tool that effectively learns a connectivity signature of all boundary-scan parts within a design from only the BSDL models of those parts. By expanding on the seek and discover mode of BuzzPlus, AutoBuzz automatically gathers the circuit data of a known good board and then performs a full connectivity compare against the faulty circuit.

JTAG Live Studio

JTAG Live Studio is your complete JTAG/boundary-scan solution for testing, debugging and programming your boards. Based on the standard JTAG Live platform that now includes an automated scan path builder, Studio adds JTAG Live Buzz, BuzzPlus, AutoBuzz, Clip, Script, JAM, STAPL and SVF players PLUS a JTAG Live controller.

With the latest version of AutoBuzz, interconnections can be tested using a comparison with a known good board or by learning boundary-scan pin connections from a CAD-derived netlist. Create reusable cluster tests and flash programming actions in Python using Script. Include IC-level tests by adding low-cost CoreCommander options that can control IC cores and/or link to FPGA gate array fabric.

  • Lowest cost complete boundary-scan tool set
  • Creates test and In-system programming routines – fast
  • Sequence your applications within a stand-alone Python executive
  • Includes high-quality JTAG/boundary-scan interface/controller

Feature

  • Buzz – pin to pin continuity tester, plus ‘watch window’ activity monitor.
  • Interconnection testing using AutoBuzz’s unique ‘seek and discover’ mode.
  • Logic cluster testing – for memories, I2C parts, ADCs, E-net PHYs etc.
  • CPLD and FPGA in-system programming using SVF, JAM and STAPL players
  • Test sequencing in the popular Python environment
  • Access to open source libraries for USB comms GPIB instrumenst control etc.

Optional CoreCommander bolt-ons for ARM, X-scale, PPC and TI parts enables emulative test and programming

JTAG Live CoreCommander

 CoreCommander routines take control of key processor core (e.g. ARM, PPC, X-scale, Cortex etc.) functions using the built-in emulation/debug functions found in today’s RISC and DSP cores. They have been developed to speed-up board testing and debug by enabling kernel-centric testing. CoreCommander offer two modes of operation:

  • Interactive – offering direct control of the core or;
  • Python embedded – where controls can be scripted into a complete program.
  • JTAG Live Buzz is automatically included for free with this product.
  • JTAG control of µprocessors, and DSPs via core debug access
  • Most popular cores supported
  • Create cluster tests and flash applications

Feature

  • Supported by JTAG Technologies, JTAG Live and FTDI based controllers/interfaces
  • Simple to use interactive GUI to perform core writes/reads
  • Functions include ‘EnterDebug’, ‘ExitDebug’, ‘LoadMemory’, ‘SaveMemory’, ‘WritePC’, ‘ReadPC’
  • Compatible with Python open-source scripting language.
  • Works in tandem with JTAG Live Script – boundary-scan routine

JTAG Live Script

 Script uses the open-source Python language to provide a powerful command and control structure to drive and sense boundary-scan I/O pins for ‘cluster’ testing. Using Script, you’ll create Python code to verify operation of non-boundary-scan logic. LEDS and mixed signal devices. By means of high-level routines that can be embedded in a Python program, Script drives and senses values on pins or groups of pins defined as variables. The built-in JTAGLive Python editor simplifies preparation of the sequences to perform tests and collect results.
Creating test modules in Script promotes device orientated testing and re-use of test code. Using Python open source means that thousands of additional libraries can be obtained from the established user community.
