TMS320F28069: How to use IBIS/BSDL model

Hello,

 The BSDL models are used in conjunction with software tools to enable boundary scan testing. For example, board manufacturers use boundary scan to send a test signal from a pin of one chip on a board to a pin of another chip on that board. The software tool drives the signal from the first chip and listens for the same signal on the second chip. This verifies that the board trace connecting the two pins is not broken and the soldering joints are good. For each chip that the software tool is using, it must know how many pins it has, which are inputs and outputs, etc. This is where the BSDL file comes into the picture - it provides all pin information the boundary scan tool needs to drive signals or listen to signals.
