JTAG Technologies has released the JTAG ProVision 1.8 development and hardware debug tool. ProVision combines advanced automation with the level of control and precision that engineers require when creating test programs and in-system programming (ISP) routines for PLDs, FPGAs, flash memories, serial PROMs and other devices. Enhancements to the ProVision version (V1.8) shipping on CD16 include: new pin-level ActiveTest - an interactive cluster test generator; enhanced NAND flash ISP program generator; ‘Buzz' - a continuity test module for checking hidden open circuits; built-in test debug capabilities for Symphony supported in-circuit testers and Flying-Probe Testers; support for ‘private' and seldom-used JTAG instructions with the JFT (Python) script routines; multi-board, and scan bridge support for JFT(Python) script routines; and an expanded ProVision model library covering more than 78,000 different devices.
