VEC200: JTAG Design for Test Analysis

The JTAG test strategy makes the Design for Testability (DFT) an essential part of the design process: the GEB enterprise adopting JTAG dramatically improves the prototype testing and debug and benefits from the DFT in terms of testing effort reduction, high test coverage on complex PCB’s, and high diagnostic resolution.

To all attendees that will ask will be send for free a permanent BUZZ license and a two months SCRIPT License to perform tests on their prototypes

The course explains:

• Generally, how You have to take care intervene in hardware design to ensure the SCAN Testability.
• DDR, PLL, FPGA Design cautions and warnings
• JTAG Chain signals distribution
• Fast Flash ISP Programming, software boot precautions
• Use of JTAG Technologies Engineering Tool to fast prototype tests:
• Free Tools, Buzz
• Low cost tools, BuzzPlus
• Specilized tools, AutoBuzz, Script, Commander
• Virtual JTAG IP and JTAG Functional Tests
• VHDL Code Samples
• Intel® (Altera®) ARM-SOC bring up using LIVE and Commander tools
