Introduction to boundary scan

1 min read

XJTAG has scheduled a series of free ‘Introduction to boundary scan’ training workshops during April and May 2009.

The full day sessions, which will run throughout the spring and summer at its Cambridge headquarters, are designed to provide design, development, test, and production engineers with a practical hands-on introduction to boundary scan. The free workshops will provide an overview of the IEEE 1149.x standard, demonstrate how to communicate with the JTAG chain and interact with JTAG devices, such as fpgas. They will provide an introduction to board testing using the JTAG chain, explain how to describe a circuit to enable JTAG testing and how to run an infrastructure connection test. Finally, the trainers will outline how to test non-JTAG elements of a board design using boundary scan. The available dates are as follows: April 28 and 30, May 19 and 21.
