Wireless JTAG Emulator for Texas Instruments DSP, ARM, OMAP etc. |
 |
 |
 |
 The first fully-integrated wireless JTAG emulator (USB510W) for Code Composer Studio is now available from Blackhawk. It supports TI's integrated development environment version 5.1 from Texas Instruments. The USB510W has an embedded 802.11 b/g/n wireless transceiver so that it requires no physical connection to a computer in order to debug using Code Composer Studio IDE. The primary benefit of this capability is to completely isolate the debug, test and development computer from the target system. This will protect the developer from harsh environments and the development computer from damaging ground loop voltages, such as those found in high-voltage motor control applications. The integrated wireless feature of the USB510W is capable of supporting the following wireless protocols and speeds: 802.11n: 6.5, 13, 19.5, 26, 39, 52, 58.5 & 65 Mbps; 802.11ag: 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, & 54 Mbps, and 802.11b: 1, 2, 5.5 & 11 Mbps.
The USB510W software is fully integrated with Code Composer Studio IDE and offers a high-speed USB 2.0 host connection that can be used for wireless configuration and emulation debug. Other features include a 20-pin cTI JTAG cable connection, pin converters for other target headers, operational LEDs for the USB and wireless interfaces, auto-ranging TCK up to 50 MHz and target I/O support from 1.8 to 5.0 volts. The USB510W supports TI's embedded fixed- and floating-point processors, including Stellaris ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, Sitara ARM9 and ARM Cortex-A8 microprocessors, DaVinci digital media processors, OMAP mobile applications processors, C6000 and C5000 DSPs and real-time control C2000 MCUs.

Xynergy XS - STM32 Cortex-M4, Spartan-6 & 128MB DDR3 on 20cm² |
|
|
|
|
 Our engineers have come up with a compact, flexible and powerful processor module based on ST Microelectronics STM32 Cortex-M4 microcontroller (168MHz, 1MBytes Flash, 192kBytes RAM) an a Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA (1430 Slices, 16 DSP48A1 Slices). The module comes in a 200-pin SO-DIMM (DDR2 style, 1,8V coded) and is closely related to Xynergy platform which we have recently developed for Silica, one of the most renowned European distributors. Because our version of the hardware is so small, we named it "Xynergy XS".
Besides the STM32 (STM32F417) in a 176-ball CSP and the FPGA (XC6XLS9) in a 324-ball BGA, the module boasts one 64M x 16 DDR3 RAM attached to one of the FPGA's memory ports, and 64MBits of serial flash for configuration and data. The on-board PHY complements the numerous standard and general purpose interfaces with more than 130 I/O lines, up to 70 of which can be used as differential LVDS lines (i.e. 35 signal pairs connected to the FPGA). The LVDS interface may be used for FMC standard mezzanine modules.
A "motherboard" is now available with many interface on standard I/O connectors, including CAN, UART, LAN, FMC and USB. JTAG ports of the STM32 and the FPGA are available at standard JTAG connectors (20 pin for the ARM, high-density 14 pin for the FPGA).
The on-board power supply requires a single 3.3Volt source while banks 0 and 2 of the FPGA may be operated on a lesser I/O voltage such as 2.5V supplied separately. More details on this little piece of high performance engineering are available from the preliminary datasheet and by request.
We recommend Keil ARM-MDK for software development for the STM32 (free download with code size limit of 32kBytes). Other compilers / IDEs are also suitable, such as IAR, Rowley, GNU etc.
For the Spartan-6 the free ISE from Xilinx is the best (and only) choice, version 13.4 currently available for download. |

New ScanExpress Software CD7.6 |
|
|
|
|
The new ScanExpress Version 7.6 CD is the first test tool suite to include JTAG embedded test (JET) support for AMD Family ten (10) processors, enabling processor emulation-based testing capabilities on AMD ASB2 (BGA), Opteron 4100, and Quad-Core Opteron CPUs.
The new CD also features innovative integration with National Instruments High-Speed Digital I/O (HSDIO) hardware as a JTAG/boundary-scan controller. All ScanExpress products now fully support the 655x series of digital instruments with JTAG test clock (TCK) rates of up to 30 MHz, allowing tighter integration of ScanExpress software into NI test platforms.
Additional CD improvements include:
New test scripting functions and features including direct JTAG scan functions, global script variables, and test time stamping.
New pin direction constraints for ScanExpress TPG’s test vector generator.
Overhauled Topology Viewer, now including a visual representation of all components on the scan chain, including series resistors, test connectors, and more.
Support for Blackhawk XDS560v2 series JTAG controllers.
ScanExpress JET now supports Freescale i.MX51 ARM Cortex-A8 based processors. The CPU support package for i.MX51 includes automatic test generation for the PMIC, I2C, Ethernet, UART, SDRAM, and Flash interfaces.
ScanExpress JET now also supports Texas Instruments AM/DM37x Sitara and Davinci ARM Cortex-A8 based microprocessors. The standard CPU support package includes automatic test generation for the PMIC, I2C, Ethernet, UART, SDRAM, and Flash interfaces.
Current Corelis customers that have a valid maintenance contract can now access the new Version 7.6 CD through the existing support website or contact us for maintenance status and help during installation of the new software. |

TestGenie - Getting started with Low-cost Boundary Scan |
|
|
|
TestGenie is a package consisting of ScanExpress executable software components and a JTAG controller from Corelis, which allows users to start their boundary scan experience at very reasonable costs at with almost no effort to introduce this technology into their production process.
Included in the TestGenie package is the test plan generation for your product based on your netlist, the bill of material and BSDL files from the silicon vendors. With the testplan generation being part of the offer, it will only take a few days before you can get your test up and running. There is no need to get involved in creating your own test plan which of course can be the next step if you are satisfied with what you received. We are here to help you get started with TestGenie and the other ScanExpress tools Corelis has to offer.
Please contact us for details and a quotation if you consider using boundary scan technology. You will be surprised how easy and how inexpensive it is to begin making use of this technology. |
