ASSET's ScanWorks for Embedded Boundary Scan

By DE Editors

The new ScanWorks for Embedded Boundary Scan from ASSET InterTech (Richardson, TX), a supplier of open tools for embedded instrumentation, can be embedded in high-availability systems where it can apply system-level JTAG (SJTAG) test, diagnostic, and programming algorithms.

The ScanWorks for Embedded Boundary Scan intellectual property (IP) can 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 the IEEE 1149.1 Boundary Scan (JTAG) standard and the IEEE 1149.6 standard for testing high-speed AC-coupled differential interconnects on circuit boards.

With ScanWorks for Embedded Boundary Scan, the company says system providers can offer unparalleled control of operations, administration, and maintenance of their systems installed in the field. High-availability, fault-tolerant systems (such as those in telecom, high-end computing, and defense) can use ScanWorks for Embedded Boundary Scan to 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) Controller family, the first boundary-scan controllers to apply tests directly over the Internet.

Pricing on the ScanWorks for Embedded Boundary Scan IP starts at $40,000.
