JTAG Manager

JTAG Manager™ is the StarTest software tool (patent pending) developed in the C# language of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. JTAG Manager is the PC-based operational envelope that intended for implementation on the electronic board manufacturing facilities and/or in the R&D labs.

The JTAG Manager operational envelope is intended to work with the following JTAG vendor (alphabetically) software tools:

All relevant data contains in specifically designed JTAG Manager Data Base. This Data Base consists of the complete information and handling tools for both hardware (assembly) versions of each board and firmware (code) releases. The JTAG Manager have simple and friendly operator oriented GUI both for project and board selection and for hardware and software / firmware release selection.

The JTAG Manager automates all processes mentioned above with minimal intervention of production facility operator. The professional requirements to the test operator skills are minimal.

The JTAG Manager is intended for use in any production process of electronic boards and systems that are developed according to the well-known Design-For-Testability (DFT) rules and the Boundary-Scan (JTAG) technologies: IEEE 1149.1 (Digital) and IEEE 1149.6 (Advanced). The JTAG Manager can be implemented both for separate boards and for entire system.

When the JTAG Manager is in usage, there is no need to use neither Automated Test Equipment (ATE) GUI of the vendors mentioned above nor standalone ISP GUI for the CPLD/FPGA /Flash devices programming.
