Goepel has introduced an in-system emulation technology which uses a configurable streaming technology of TAP signals based on respective µProcessor model libraries (VarioTAP Models).

As a result, VarioTAP enables a complete fusion of JTAG emulation and boundary scan test for real interlaced test operations and multi-valent flash in-system programming.

VarioTAP should support all JTAG/IEEE1149.1 compliant µProcessor or µController, independent of the scan chain configuration up to multi processor or multi core applications.  The µProcessor can be of different types or even implemented in the local path of a scan router.

The adaptive streaming technology offers the opportunity to execute emulation tests in a test program parallel or interactively to boundary scan tests.

Also the use of preassembled VarioTAP standard models removes the need for the user to have subject-specific background knowledge and processor-specific pods.
