For ScanExpress JETJET support for AMD Turion™ II Neo, Athlon™ II Neo, Opteron™ 4100, and Opteron™ Quad-Core (socket F) CPUs is now available. This is the first product of its kind for AMD CPUs--enabling quick CPU driven functional test using the JTAG port of supported CPUs.
The AMD CPU support package includes auto-generated tests for the CPU and common peripherals, featuring:
- CPU Initialization
- Northbridge & Southbridge Initialization
- Hypertransport
- PCI/PCIe
- SPI Flash
- I2C Discovery
- UART Loopback
- Ethernet Loopback
Also included in the package is a Sage SmartProbe JTAG controller. The SmartProbe comes with adapters for popular AMD JTAG interfaces, including HDT, HDT+, and EDI.
Note that AMD system architecture is slightly more complex than the usual embedded CPU support for JET--we have a Northbridge and Southbridge in the equation. ScanExpress JET generates initialization scripts and tests for both support chips, enabling testing through peripheral interfaces outside of the CPU such as the PCIe interface of the Northbridge and SPI Flash interface of the Southbridge. Hypertransport tests verify operation of the high speed HT3 interface between the CPU and Northbridge at-speed without requiring any external probes.
