Boundary Scan meets Microcontroller Emulation

iSYSTEM and GÖPEL join forces starting a technology partnership that covers transfer of core know-how as well as creation of new test products for hardware components.

Today iSYSTEM AG based in Schwabhausen and GÖPEL electronic GmbHbased in Jena announced their cooperation in the field of hardware component tests. iSYSTEM has been accepted by GÖPEL in their GATE (GOEPEL Associated Technical Experts) program as a select member. Up to now both companies worked in different areas of the product development process: iSYSTEM in the area of software development as well as software test and verification for embedded systems, whereas GÖPEL specialized in Boundary Scan tests which are tests associated to hardware production.

The technology partnership covers transfer of core specialized knowledge as well as the development of new products. To cope with the challenges of future hardware components tests, boundary scan and JTAG emulation must be combined. For this merge extensive microcontroller knowledge is necessary. Emulator and debugger manufacturers like iSYSTEM have developed this expertise over many years. The technology partnership between GÖPEL and iSYSTEM is the catalyst for prompt preparation and integration of microcontroller knowledge into existing GÖPEL tools.

Thomas Wenzel, CEO of GÖPEL electronic, stated about the new partnership: “From the beginning it was important for us not to reinvent the wheel, but to drive technology with smart part­­nerships. For that we have created another software platform called VarioTAP that allows partner companies like iSYSTEM to integrate and position their knowledge by software IP or models. Our customers rely on a generic solution that is independent from the microcontroller used and already prepared for future applications and standards.”

“For iSYSTEM the cooperation with GÖPEL is another important milestone in the implement­ation of our V-model strategy. Over the last years we demonstrated how traditional software develop­ment tools can be cost-saving, integrated and used in the whole software development and test process. The synergistic effects associated with the cooperation of GÖPEL and iSYSTEM and the desired penetrative cross linking of both technologies gives customers new perspectives in effective software and hardware testing aligned to current microprocessor techniques.”, stated Erol Simsek, Director Sales & Marketing of iSYSTEM AG.


About iSYSTEM

iSYSTEM specializes in embedded development and test tools, supports customers  with their embedded projects and provides professional services. Our vision is to easily enable developers and testers to use embedded development and test tools within the complete development process. iSYSTEM products are best suited for development and test of security-sensitive and vital functions for automotive, aerospace and medical applications.

To achieve an optimal integration of development tools, iSYSTEM maintains close relationships with semiconductor, compiler, RTOS and test tool vendors. The majority of iSYSTEM products present a link between the embedded system and the host PC. Dependent on the CPU architecture an in-circuit emulator, an on-chip debugger, an on-chip debugger plus trace tool or an external bus analyzer can be used. The modular design allows the subsequent use of iSYSTEM products in other configurations. iSYSTEM tools support more than 50 different CPU architectures, 2000 microcontrollers and 150 compilers. For more information contact Indes IDS BV.
