Cerritos, CA, September 10, 2009 – Corelis recently
reached a milestone in processor functional test support by
breaking the 1,000 processor barrier in its ScanExpress JTAG
Embedded Test (JET) library. The company announced that key
processor families such as Freescale Power Architecture™ and
Intel Atom™ are now available. A complete listing of processor
support is available on the Corelis website.
ScanExpress JET is a functional
test pattern generator, debugger, tester, and exerciser tool for
microprocessors with on-chip debug features accessible through
their JTAG port. The tool can be used as a stand-alone
functional test station or in conjunction with traditional
boundary-scan test techniques. This means that sound structural
tests for opens and shorts can be performed via boundary-scan
while at-speed functional testing can be performed using the CPU
to run test programs loaded into memory. ScanExpress JET can
even run functional tests and diagnose faulty boards even when
the embedded CPU is not able to boot and the board self test is
not operational.
Ryan Jones, Senior Technical
Marketing Engineer at Corelis, states, “When ScanExpress JET was
first announced at the ITC conference in 2006, we naturally
included processor architecture support from our emulation line
of products that we had developed over the last two decades,
such as PowerPC®, ARM®, and MIPS®. Since that time, we have
worked vigorously with key microprocessor manufacturers to
ensure the JET product has the latest, most popular processor
technology available. As the continuously growing list nears
1,100 processors, Corelis is clearly paving the road for
embedded functional testing through the JTAG port.”
“Embedded functional testing is a
key component in the growth of Corelis,” says George B. La
Fever, CEO and President at Corelis. “We have put significant
effort towards the expansion of functional test processor
support for our JTAG Embedded Test product line. Our core
competency in developing boundary-scan and emulation products
allows us to add reliable processor support with minimal risk
and turn-around time. The ability for us to continually deepen
our processor library at such an aggressive pace clearly
differentiates Corelis from other solutions.”
