There has been another development in the never-ending battle that is Microsoft trying to keep its gaming system closed to unauthorized use. Xbox-scene reports that a new hack called freeBOOT v0.01 ...

Download the PDF of this article. These days, hardware debug interfaces like the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) IEEE 1149.1 standard are ubiquitous. You can find them on many microcontroller and ...

Several processor vendors have extended JTAG software debug, often to make it faster, or to add hardware trace capabilities. The NEXUS consortium for example defines an auxiliary port containing a ...

JTAG (jay-tag) is one of the engineering acronyms that has been transformed into a noun, although arguably it is not so popular as RAM, or CPU. IEEE Std 1149.1-1990 IEEE Standard Test Access Port and ...

Boundary Scan technique is most often thought of as a board-level test method, but certain techniques makes system level test with JTAG quite effective. Many types of faults can arise when systems are ...

JTAG Technologies has added to the capabilities of its no-netlist-required range of boundary-scan test tools a ‘seek and discover’ feature to scan completely a compliant design and then perform ...

Lauterbach and Gleichmann Electronics Research will demonstrate at Embedded World 2010 next month a new way of debugging CPUs that are embedded in programmable logic. The JTAG–based technique combines ...

Over the last year or so we’ve noticed a definite uptick in the number of folks using OpenOCD on the Raspberry Pi. It’s a cheap and convenient solution for poking around with various microcontrollers ...

Literally, IEEE Std. 1149.1 very well might have been your father’s JTAG, since it has been around since 1990. For over 20 years, this standard has been in use throughout the world (boundary-scan ...
