AWR2243: How to entry boundary scan mode

Hi,

The hw team will review your request and will get back to you in a day or two.

thank you

Hello Edwin,

Could you provide more details on how you are trying to run the boundary scan? Also could you help us understand the intent of running the boundary scan on AWR2243?

Regards,
Vivek

Hi Vivek,

I perform boundary scan test on the in-circuit test equipment, to test the soldering of pins is ok or not.

I've tried and found that cannot entry bscan mode, the INSTRUCTION_CAPTURE was failed, read data is "111111110001", seems only 4 bit is right.

below is the description from bsdl:

attribute INSTRUCTION_CAPTURE of awr2243_bsr : entity is "000000010001";

I guess that it might be some pre-steps here, please advice, thanks.

Hello Edwin,

Given that all the digital communication of the AWR2243 device is with the host processor wouldn't it be easier to check if the host communication is working fine and that would confirm the soldering of the pins is OK?

Hi Vivek,

In-circuit test equipment does not have the capability to do all the digital communication tests. We just want to perform the boundary scan tests on this station, thanks.

Hello Edwin,

You would not need equipment for this. When you execute your application on the host processor connected to the AWR2243 that would be communicate to the AWR device over SPI interface and I assume that is the only digital interface you are using. If the application is able to communicate to the AWR device successfully that would mean the SPI interface is connected properly.

Hi Vivek,

Thanks for your proposal and it's useful. but.. can we talk about boundary scan? I'm interested in this but so far there's no progress.
