ChipVORX

ChipVORX Description:

ChipVORX is a new in-system technology for the configuration and control of chip embedded test, debug, and programming functions In its core ChipVORX is based on the utilization of a new communication interface in the software platform SYSTEM CASCON™, combined with special function libraries (ChipVORX models) structured as intelligent IP. As a result, ChipVORX® enables the control of chip-embedded test and debug instruments in interaction with Boundary Scan operations and control of externally coupled instruments within one cohesive system platform. The technology is based on the IEEE 1149.1 test bus protocol and is fully synchronous with other boundary scan operations. The spectrum of possible applications spreads from simple register control, over utilization of primitive test functions to control of complex instruments. To control such chip-embedded features in-system (in test mode or during normal operation.) is highly important for boards and systems with reduced test access.
