If you’re reading Hackaday, you’ve almost certainly heard of JTAG. There’s an excellent chance you’ve even used it once or twice to reflash an unruly piece of hardware. But how well do you actually ...

[Matt Evans] was running up against the common programming gotcha caused by disappearing parallel ports. For years he had used a JTAG parallel cable when working with FPGAs but recently realized he no ...

Most complex electronic systems take advantage of the IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) standard in one way or another. If the system uses complex FPGAs or CPLDs, then they are almost certainly configured using the ...

It is fairly common knowledge that hacking into today’s intelligent Internet devices is child’s play in most cases. The main reason is that the devices have little or no innate security designed in.

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 ...

In recent years, boundary scan has transformed itself. JTAG started more than a decade ago as a simple structural interconnect test technology. It now is a foundational embedded infrastructure capable ...

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 ...

The semiconductor industry has been deeply influenced to spur innovations, owing to the expansion of IoT, AI, and wireless communication in the market. It is essential to shape these innovations into ...

JTAG has its place but it is not by any means the total solution. Boundary scan, as standardized by IEEE 1149.1 and commonly referred to as JTAG, has truly revolutionized the testability of circuit ...

Samtec is releasing a variety of board-level and cable connector systems for JTAG applications, which are currently shipping in volume quantities, says the interconnect manufacturer. The Samtec JTAG ...
