LabVIEW and JTAG

[Michael Buchli]

I couldn't find VI's, that support JTAG.

Does anybody know where I can find a JTAG Toolbox or similar for LabVIEW
5.01?

thanks,
Michael

Hello Michael,

I checked the NI web site, and they have a driver for the Corelis CVXI 1149.1, but it was written in CVI.

The only other thing I could find was an Alliance member that specializes in JTAG. I recommen that you contact them, and see if they have anything you can use, or can point you in the right direction.

You can find the Alliance menber by going to the main NI web page (www.ni.com) and typing jtag into the search field. I think it was the second or third entry.

Michael:

The drivers that Corelis supplies are almost useless. If you are VERY lucky, you'll be able to get a DLL from Corelis, which you will then have wrap into a set of VI's manually. If you are brave you can creat your own by using A32/D32 writes to load binary programs into the controllers memory, then use Sord Serial protocal to execute the programs. NOT for the faint hearted.

This is just for their VXI system. If you are using PC based, or something, then this may not apply.

A better option is with Huntron/Goepel. We are looking at their VXI system which has VISA drivers and also a SCPI command interface. This is 100% LabWindows and LabVIEW compatible. You have to buy software as well, but it is relativly inexpensive ($2k - $3k for basic sfotware vs
$6k for basic software from Corelis).

Hope this helps you out a bit.
