Hello Premalatha Royappan

Thank you for the query.

Please help me understand what boundary scan tools you are planning to use?

Hi Sreenivasa

We want to know if XDS110 can support boundary scan testing.We haven't purchased any tools for boundary scan. 

Kindly let us know

Hello Premalatha Royappan

Thank you for the inputs.

Using XDS110 may not be a feasible approach.

Consider using third-party tools.

https://www.corelis.com/education/tutorials/boundary-scan/

Blackhawk XDS560/v2-class JTAG emulators support the Corelis Boundary Scan tools. Corelis and Blackhawk are both part of EWA Technologies, Inc. and have integrated the powerful boundary-scan tools from Corelis with the advanced JTAG emulator from Blackhawk. This integration allows customers who are currently using a Blackhawk JTAG Emulator to debug their TI processor boards and extend their test capability by being able to run Corelis JTAG Boundary Scan software tools without the added expense of purchasing another controller. Increase your capabilities for testing and debugging without the added cost of additional dedicated hardware.

Looks like XDS110 supports running some of the JTAG commands but you will have to develop your own interface and logic to run the commands.

Hi Sreenivasa

Kindly let us know if any boundary scan tool from Corelis can be used,Any recommendations? 

The cost of XDS560 is around 1900 $ and we are looking for tools which are cost effective, to test only the boundary scan functionality as we have XDS110 for JTAG debugging.

Hello Premalatha Royappan

Thank you for checking.

I have no recommendations to make.

May be the below threads could help. You might want to reach out to any of the BSDL test solutions provider i have listed in the below thread.

Hi Sreenivasa

We are planning to purchase XDS560, as we understand that it supports boundary scan functionality. Please let us know if the required software would also be provided along with it to test the boundary scan functionality.

Hello Premalatha Royappan

Thank you for the note.

You need to start a titled XDS560 debugger information without including the SoC number to reach the relevant support team.

As i understand you will have to check with the BSDL solution providers supporting the XDS560 tool and work with them.
