The realm of electronics testing is vast and ever-evolving. JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) testing stands out for its efficiency and precision among the various testing methodologies. With its deep expertise and innovative solutions, Flynn Systems has been a...
In the intricate electronics world, ensuring components' functionality and reliability is paramount. Boundary scan testing, a technique that has significantly transformed the electronics testing landscape, offers an efficient method for testing printed circuit boards...
Mid-state or resistive shorts are a significant problem that often goes undetected by a typical boundary scan test. As a global industry leader, the professionals at Flynn Systems recognized this "hole" in boundary scan testing and quickly designed a solution to...
Formed in 1985, Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) developed a method of verifying designs and testing printed circuit boards after manufacture. This method would later become the industry standard. Known as a JTAG test, the Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan...
If a chain of devices consisted only of boundary scan (JTAG) compliant devices, there would not be too much testing required. However, boards today contain complex, non-JTAG devices that interact with the boundary scan devices. Testing just the JTAG devices on the...
That’s an easy one. With onTAP’s TAP CONNECT JTAG Controller, you can run an unlimited number of chains simultaneously. Each TAP CONNECT JTAG Controller has two channels which provides the opportunity to run two chains at once. Furthermore, additional chains are...
Understanding boundary scans means you need to understand the tools used when performing them. Take a look at our quick guide to boundary scan tools and make sure you have all you need. JTAG Device This refers to the device being tested during the boundary scan. Any...
Are you new to boundary scans and JTAG? Take a look at this quick guide to understanding what exactly it means, and why JTAG is essential. JTAG stands for Joint Test Action Group. When referred to as part of a boundary scan test, it means computer chips and electronic...
Once a board developer passes along the new board and all related files and procedures to a test developer, the boundary scan test process can begin. We recommend including the TAP Integrity Test at the beginning of your interconnect test because the TAP contains pins...
Chip manufacturers are now producing multichip modules (MCMs) that may include two or more arrays of devices within a single package. These modules can be tested using JTAG test pattern generation of the devices while on a PCB. To incorporate JTAG testing of MCMs...
Who cares. The owner of the problem is not necessarily always the issue. Blame most often gets thrown around the work place when things don’t work, and a resolution is needed. From time to time, we encounter situations where a field applications specialist is on-site...
One of the most common comments we hear from our customers and business partners sounds something like this: “Well, I’ve heard about boundary scan testing, and have actually used it a bit before. Moving forward, we have a new project we need to use it on, and we have...
Now that your board has moved from prototyping to manufacturing, things are humming along until...there is a snag in manufacturing. Suddenly an entire run of boards is failing for unknown reasons, and you’re already dangerously close to being behind schedule. What to...
Why SVF? As boundary scan test was making its way to center stage for testing surface mounted devices, there was no agreed upon protocol to manage the hundreds of thousands of bits of IEEE 1149.1 test pattern information. Instead, many vendors had vendor specific...

Use this function to: Check the fault coverage of your test for a specific fault condition. Insert an open fault without modifying your board or test fixture. Validate that your test is working as expected. How to Insert Faults 1. Create a file FaultInsert.txt in your...
While not all boundary scan terminology is contained in the guide, there are enough terms to at least acquaint you with some of the most commonly used expressions. BIST: Built-In Self-Test, sometimes controllable via boundary scan BOARD NETLIST: Files that show the...
Many newcomers to JTAG test start their first projects knowing only that boundary scan testing is a requirement for new board design. The specifics of boundary scan, details of test strategy, or expected results are, for many, uncharted territory. In fact, most...

As the boundary scan community continues looking for new ways to improve test procedures and achieve higher and higher fault coverage, we expect the test tools to compensate for shortcomings in silicon devices or board design. We are constantly exposed to new...
Flynn Systems – StarTest Technology Partnership Press Release Flynn Systems and StarTest, along with their subsidiary JTAG.TECT (www.jtag-test.ru), have established a strategic relationship making JTAG.TECT the authorized Flynn Systems’ onTAP Boundary Scan Solutions...
Tests may be defined in script files which may then be translated into executable Serial Vector Format (SVF) files. The general approach is to place all of the required BSDL files into a folder and then to relate the BSDL files to circuit locations in declarations at...
Ontap_parallel.exe can be used to simultaneously run test suites on multiple PC boards using the onTAP DLL. Parallel board testing must be enabled for the DLL license. Testing is fastest on a multiple processor PC , particularly where one core processor is available...
