A single platform solution for Emulation and JTAG/Boundary Scan, VarioTAP®, is a revolutionary technology for pattern streaming on TAP (Test Access Port) signals compliant with IEEE-Std.1149.1. The technology utilizes on-chip debug/emulation resources accessible in most micro-processors and micro-controllers through a IEEE 1149.1 compatible JTAG Port. The VarioTAP® principle was specifically developed for the integrated Boundary Scan software, SYSTEM CASCONTM, and enables the complete fusion of debug/emulation tools with test and in-system programming (ISP) applications. The VarioTAP® specific adaptive streaming demonstrates the dynamic synthesis of Emulation vectors and Boundary Scan vectors, supporting new test strategies such as Interlaced JTAG/Boundary Scan Tests and insystem Emulation Test/ISP.
- Automated support of Scan Router Devices
- Support of Multi-Processor/Multi-Core systems with single or multiple TAPs
- Same user interface for both Emulation and JTAG/Boundary Scan
