SAN FRANCISCO — Boundary scan development tool supplier XJTAG has added a JTAG chain debugger to its XJTAG Development System, which will further reduce debug and test times for engineers designing and testing complex printed circuit boards, the company said Monday (Nov. 21). The JTAG chain debugger features a range of debug options which allow designers to trace signals around the board and immediately find the location of any problems within the JTAG chain, according to XJTAG (Cambridge, England). This capability means that engineers can get boards up and running quickly, rapidly diagnose faults and speed up the whole development process, the company said. "With the addition of the chain debugger to the XJTAG system, engineers now have an ''out-of-the-box'' solution for debugging and testing boards populated with JTAG devices," said Dominic Plunkett, XJTAG''s chief technology officer, in a statement. "Design engineers can now debug and test their printed circuits in hours as opposed to days/weeks with other competitive systems." In addition to the new chain debugger, the XJTAG Development System has been enhanced with a host of other new features to speed up board design and prototype testing, XJTAG said.
