Corelis, Inc., the leading supplier of high-performance boundary-scan test and measurement tools, announced today the availability of version 7.8 of its ScanExpress Boundary-Scan Tool Suite. This new version includes numerous new features and enhancements including improved cluster testing support, intelligent BSDL file handling, and a new model-based test coverage. The new version also expands JTAG Embedded Test (JET) support to Texas Instruments AM335x Sitara™ processors.

Software improvements include:

• A new model based test coverage which limits test vector generation to nets where all nodes have been identified with a device model.
• Cluster definitions are now assignable by pin numbers in addition to the net name.
• The ScanExpress TPG parsing engine will now automatically ignore leading “P” values found in pin definitions for non-BGA type BSDL files.
• Floating network licenses are now supported under Linux.
• JET support for Texas Instruments AM335x processors.

Current Corelis customers that have a valid maintenance contract can now access the new version 7.8 CD through the Corelis support website.
