JTAG Technologies is aiming to reduce the cost of boundary-scan test and programming with its ProVision Designer Station offering a lower entry price.
Providing automatic test program generation (ATPG) for interconnections and in-system programming (ISP) for devices, the ProVision Designer Station includes a scripting library known as JFT (JTAG Functional Test) based on the open-source Python language.
It can be used to add test options for logic clusters and for the programming of memory devices.
A serial vector format (SVF) player feature serves as a programmer for CPLDs and FPGAs, and the system also includes the sequencer module ‘AEX Manager.’
