ASSET and Firecron Demonstrate System-Level JTAG Proof-of-Concept.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. -- ASSET InterTech Inc., (www.asset-intertech.com) an international leader in boundary-scan (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/JTAG) test and in-system programming In-System Programming (abbreviated ISP) is the ability of some programmable logic devices, microcontrollers, and other programmable electronic chips to be programmed while installed in a complete system, rather than requiring the chip to be programmed prior to installing it into (ISP (1) See in-system programmable.

Long-term disability (www.firecron.com) will demonstrate System-level JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) An IEEE standard for boundary scan technology. See scan technology. JTAG - Joint Test Action Group (SJTAG) test and programming in a proof-of-concept system at the upcoming European Board Test Workshop, to be held in Chilworth, Southampton, U.K. on May 24-25. SJTAG is an industry initiative begun a year ago with a goal of standardizing processes and methodologies for system-level boundary scan (JTAG) applications. The SJTAG group is chaired by Dr. Ben Bennetts and is comprised of representatives from Motorola, Lucent, Ericsson and other leading technology firms. The SJTAG proof-of-concept system incorporates many of the design principles defined by the working group and is a first step toward a standard implementation of system-level JTAG test and programming. "We have working with Firecron and the SJTAG group for quite some time on open standards," said Alan Sguigna, vice president of sales and marketing for ASSET. "System-level JTAG is becoming important to OEMs seeking higher fault tolerance and reliability in their systems." The demonstration consists of an ASSET ScanWorks boundary-scan system interacting with a Firecron embedded controller. Test vectors generated by ScanWorks are downloaded with the Firecron embedded controller over an Ethernet connection. Diagnostic data is returned to the ScanWorks station for analysis. "Adopting an SJTAG design is proven to save OEMs time and money, and reduces the No Fault Found (NFF NFF Neutral File Format NFF National Farmers Federation (Australia) NFF National Football Foundation NFF National Forest Foundation NFF No Fault Found NFF National Folk Festival NFF Nantucket Film Festival ) issue in the field," said Eugene Mullen, vice president at Firecron.
