ASSET's ScanWorks for Embedded Boundary Scan Offers In-System JTAG Test and Diagnostics.Embedding ScanWorks in High-Availability Systems Optimizes Remote Test Application and Programming RICHARDSON, Texas Richardson is a suburb in Dallas County and Collin County, Texas. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 91,803, while according to a 2006 estimate, the population had grown to 99,200. -- The new ScanWorks[R] for Embedded Boundary Scan See scan technology. boundary scan - The use of scan registers to capture state from device input and output pins. IEEE Standard 1149.1-1990 describes the international standard implementation (sometimes called JTAG after the Joint Test Action Group which began the from ASSET[R] InterTech (www.asset-intertech.com), the leading supplier of open tools for embedded instrumentation, can be easily embedded in high-availability systems where it can apply system-level JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) An IEEE standard for boundary scan technology. See scan technology. JTAG - Joint Test Action Group (SJTAG) test, diagnostic and programming algorithms. Typically, the ScanWorks for Embedded Boundary Scan intellectual property (IP) will be embedded in systems where any ScanWorks functionality can be initiated locally or remotely to meet installation, commissioning and field service requirements. ScanWorks for Embedded Boundary Scan executes routines that conform to Verb 1. conform to - satisfy a condition or restriction; "Does this paper meet the requirements for the degree?" fit, meet coordinate - be co-ordinated; "These activities coordinate well" the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1149.1 Boundary Scan (JTAG) standard and the IEEE 1149.6 standard for testing high-speed AC-coupled interconnects on circuit boards. "Historically, boundary scan has been implemented on the manufacturing floor to structurally test circuit boards via external testers," said Alan Sguigna, vice president of sales and marketing for ASSET. "Some system designers, needing extremely high reliability, have undertaken costly internal development efforts to embed boundary scan in their hardware. Now, designers can deploy our embeddable ScanWorks IP as an off-the-shelf solution at much less cost than developing and maintaining their own." With ScanWorks for Embedded Boundary Scan, system providers can offer unparalleled control of operations, administration and maintenance of their systems installed in the field. High-availability, fault-tolerant systems Fault-tolerant systems Systems, predominantly computing and computer-based systems, which tolerate undesired changes in their internal structure or external environment. , such as those in telecom, high-end computing and defense, can deploy ScanWorks for Embedded Boundary Scan and employ the JTAG infrastructure in their systems as a secondary maintenance bus for remote test, diagnostics and provisioning. ASSET's ScanWorks for Embedded Boundary Scan is the same IP found in ASSET's industry-recognized Remote Instrumentation (RIC RIC Rhode Island College RIC Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago RIC Regulated Investment Company RIC Royal Irish Constabulary RIC Reuters Instrument Code RIC Roman Imperial Coinage RIC Resources Inventory Committee RIC Rapid Intervention Crew ) Controller family, the first boundary-scan controllers to apply tests directly over the Internet. Pricing and Availability Available in first quarter 2009, pricing on ScanWorks for Embedded Boundary Scan IP starts at $40,000. ASSET InterTech - Driving Embedded Instrumentation ASSET InterTech is a supplier of open tools for embedded instrumentation. Validation, test and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. engineers can quickly and easily validate and test semiconductors, circuit boards or entire systems during every phase of a product's life, including design, manufacturing/repair and field maintenance. ASSET InterTech is located at 2201 North Central Expressway, Suite 105, Richardson, TX 75080.
