JTAG Maps from JTAG Technologies is a simple extension to the Altium Designer tool suite that allows users to thoroughly assess the capabilities of the JTAG/boundary-scan resources on their design before committing to layout. JTAG Maps for Altium includes an assume scan covered feature, enabling a view of potential boundary-scan coverage without a specific boundary scan description language. The feature can also be used to indicate fault coverage to a connector to highlight the differences in fault coverage between two equivalent parts — one with and one without built-in JTAG/boundary-scan. For engineers wishing to apply JTAG/Boundary-scan tests directly onto their design, JTAG Technologies can offer two further options: JTAG Live for low-cost functional testing with boundary-scan, and JTAG ProVision, a full-blown automated test program generation and device programming system.
