What is JTAG Maps?

JTAG Mapsâ„¢, a user-friendly extension for Altium, enables engineers to efficiently evaluate the testing capabilities offered by JTAG devices integrated into their designs. Previously, engineers dedicated significant time to manually marking boundary-scan nets within a design to assess their coverage. The boundary scan device model files, known as BSDLs, play an essential role in the JTAG and boundary scanning process by specifying which pins can be manipulated through JTAG. JTAG Maps supports BSDL models and includes an option to 'assume scanner covered.' While many users may opt for the Altium coverage report provided by JTAG Maps, there is also an option to import a more comprehensive analysis. Additionally, data can be exported to JTAG ProVision for in-depth evaluation, allowing engineers to gain further insights. Subsequently, a straightforward message file that encompasses complete fault-coverage details can be re-imported into JTAG Maps for visualization and highlighting purposes. This streamlined process significantly reduces the time engineers need to spend on testing assessments.

What is BV Circuits?

BV Circuits provides a flexible software solution that can be utilized both in cloud environments and on personal computers for the assessment of electronic schematics before PCB development begins. Hardware engineers have the capability to upload a schematic PDF, a compatible EDA netlist, and a bill of materials featuring manufacturer part numbers for thorough analysis. This platform carefully reviews the schematic visuals and circuit connections, ensuring component pin assignments are correct, compatibility is established, design rules are followed, and logical behavior is evaluated to detect potential errors and identify areas for improvement. Users are presented with a comprehensive report that details findings, warnings, and suggested actions to aid in the design review and verification processes. BV Circuits supports file exports from a variety of design tools such as KiCad, OrCAD, Altium Designer, EasyEDA, and Siemens Xpedition/PADS. For individuals interested in sampling the service, a free plan is available that permits limited weekly analysis previews, whereas paid subscriptions provide access to in-depth reports, PDF downloads, and a set amount of analysis credits each month. Furthermore, an enterprise desktop version caters to organizations with larger requirements, making sure that every user can discover a fitting option for their schematic evaluation needs. This comprehensive approach not only enhances efficiency but also promotes a more robust design process across various engineering teams.
