September 14, 2011 -- Inc. has announced the availability of the latest version of its ScanExpress Boundary-Scan Tool Suite. According to Corelis, the new Version 7.6 CD is the first test tool to include JTAG embedded test (JET) support for AMD Family 10 processors, enabling processor emulation-based testing capabilities on AMD ASB2 (BGA), Opteron 4100, and Quad-Core Opteron CPUs.

The new ScanExpress CD also features integration with National Instruments (NI) High-Speed Digital I/O (HSDIO) hardware as a JTAG/ boundary-scan controller. All ScanExpress products now fully support the 655x series of digital instruments with JTAG test clock (TCK) rates of up to 30MHz, allowing tighter integration of ScanExpress software into NI test platforms.

Additional CD improvements include:

New test-scripting functions and features including direct JTAG scan functions, global script variables, and test time stamping. New pin-direction constraints for ScanExpress TPG’s test vector generator. Overhauled Topology Viewer, now including a visual representation of all components on the scan chain, including series resistors, test connectors, and more. Support for Blackhawk XDS560v2 series JTAG controllers. JTAG embedded test support for Freescale i.MX51 and Texas Instruments AM/-DM37x processors.
