TI AM18x CPU Support
Sitara™ ARM9™ AM18x microprocessors from Texas Instruments offer interfaces to a host of peripherals – peripherals that may be inaccessible to external probes, but are still at risk of faults and require thorough, at-speed testing. Corelis’ JTAG Embedded Test technology leverages the same microprocessor used to run the system to functionally test, verify, and program these peripherals – non-intrusively and at system speed.
Corelis ScanExpress JET™ makes full use of the ARM9™ core; by taking control of the system JTAG port, ScanExpress JET provides convenient development and execution of the complete Corelis functional test suite for supported system peripherals – right out of the box.
Standard and Custom Tests
TI AM18x CPU Support for ScanExpress JET includes automatic test generation for commonly used peripherals.
- CPU Initialization – Test basic communication and functions of the CPU.
- SDRAM – Execute a full suite of at-speed SDRAM tests to catch hard-to-find faults.
- NAND, NOR, & SPI NOR Flash – Test and program Flash using maximum CPU clock speed.
- I2C Discovery – Scan the I2C bus to identify and communicate with connected devices.
- UART Loopback – Verify UART communication via a simple loopback cable.
- Ethernet Loopback – Test Ethernet functions using a simple loopback cable.
- Power Management IC (TPS65070) – Ensure that the power management system is fully functional.
Supported Processors
AM18x – AM1802, AM1806, AM1808, AM1810
Applications
Test Engineers
JET is able to increase board test coverage by quickly combining boundary-scan testing with at-speed functional testing.
