Short description
The purpose of the Experimental Boundary Scan project (EBSp)
is to provide completely open and flexible software support for commercially
available JTAG/IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan master (BSM) controllers. BSM
controllers are used to provide JTAG test bus control capability in various
hardware platforms. The EBSp aims to provide adequate software support, which
will facilitate the integration of these devices into platforms running under
the Linux operating system and x86 architecture.
Currently the EBSp provides a Linux device driver for the Texas Instruments
SN74ACT8990 BSM. Higher level software tools such as a hardware independent
Serial Vector Format (SVF) parser with plug-in modules and Graphical User
Interfaces (GUIs) are also available.
Future plans
The software implementation of BSM controller, which
will drive test bus through the parallel port, and SVF extensions for
the IEEE 1149.4 standard are planed in future.
