Jam Programming Support - JTAG Technologies
JTAG Technologies B.V. provides a full range of in-system programming and printed circuit board (PCB) testing solutions based on the boundary-scan IEEE Std. 1149.1. These solutions cover all development phases, including design support, prototype debug, production, and repair.
The company's corporate headquarters are in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, with regional offices in the United States and the United Kingdom. A global network of authorized distributors and representatives throughout North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia provide products and support. JTAG Technologies maintains an experienced staff of development engineers and application engineers to support customer needs, and now has over 1,200 systems in operation around the world.
PLD Programming Development
JTAG Technologies' products support programmable logic device (PLD) programming, including the new JAM Standard Programming and Test Language (STAPL) and Serial Vector File (SVF) formats. As a result, programming capability is available for Altera® MAX® 7000S, MAX 7000A, MAX 7000B, MAX 3000A, FLEX® 10K, FLEX 10KE, APEX 20K, and EPC2 devices. Regardless of the device type, brand, or format used, the system presents a common interface to the user, avoiding the proliferation of tools, and rapidly created files perform on-board all device operations such as erase, blank-check, programming, verification, security fuse programming, and user-code readback.
The PLDPROG software handles a wide variety of scan-chain configurations ranging from the simple single-chain structure up to multi-chain, multi-level hierarchical scan architectures. Scan chains of any length are possible, with automatic safe configuring of the board during PLD programming. The software's graphical user interface guides the developer in verifying boundary-scan description language (BSDL) files, testing the board's boundary-scan chain, and performing the programming functions.
Production Support
JTAG Technologies' PLD programming applications run on a wide variety of fully-compatible hardware controllers in a broad range of operating environments. Interfaces are available for peripheral component interconnect (PCI), insdustry-standard application (ISA), universal serial bus (USB), virtual machine environment extended for instrumentation (VXI), and personal computer (PC) parallel port. The production environment includes:
- Stand-alone PC or work station versions, with an easy-to-use graphical interface for sequencing operations
- Full integration within an existing production step, such as functional test, by means of delay-locked loop-based (DLL-based) applications
- Support for incorporating PLD programming within a National Instruments LabWindows/CVI or LabView platform
- Client/server operation, in which the boundary-scan software and hardware are controlled on a single computer or across a network
The JTAG Technologies tools allow PLD programming to be sequenced with other powerful boundary-scan applications, board testing and in-system flash programming. Multiple authorization levels are provided for operators, technicians, and engineers. Production personnel benefit from having quick
and easy controls, typically via single-button operation, and execution reports that summarize the results.
