ASSET InterTech has established strategic relationships with prominent electronics companies in the following areas:
ASSET InterTech and Agilent Technologies have entered into a contractual strategic agreement whereby Agilent has integrated ASSET's ScanWorks JTAG environment with boundary-scan test and programming tools into the Agilent 3070 in-circuit test (ICT) system. ScanWorks/3070 is now the boundary scan capability on the 3070 systems. Users of ScanWorks/3070 are able to re-use JTAG tests and programming operations developed during design debug throughout the product's entire lifecycle, including volume manufacturing, functional and environmental test, and in-the-field troubleshooting or repair. ASSET will continue to work with other suppliers of ICT equipment to support its existing or potential customers.
As a result of the strategic relationship between ASSET and PTC, ASSET's ScanWorks became the first boundary-scan environment with an industry standard electronic design browser called InterComm Expert. Under the terms of the contract between the two companies, ASSET integrated PTC's design browser into ScanWorks, giving designers and test engineers the ability to correlate boundary-scan test information and design data like schematics and layouts from within the ScanWorks environment. InterComm's suite of electronic design collaboration solutions enables enterprise-wide visualization, verification, annotation, and automated comparison of the electronic design intent created by leading EDA authoring tools.

ASSET has a longstanding strategic contract with Teradyne Corporation whereby ASSET supports Teradyne's Victory boundary scan technology.
Xilinx Corporation, a leader in programmable logic devices and gate arrays, and ASSET InterTech have struck a strategic relationship whereby ASSET's EDFT Services Division validates the accuracy of the boundary scan description language (BSDL) file for all Xilinx devices.
American Arium, a privately held corporation headquartered in Tustin, CA, is a supplier of hardware and software development tools for ARM based processors, Intel®-Architecture processors, processors based on Intel XScale technology, and AMD64 processors. American Arium tools are used worldwide to debug software in embedded applications, BIOS, device drivers, and OS kernels. The company is a member of the ARM Development Community.
The following companies are part of the Partner Provider program for ASSET's Ensure DFT Services Division. This program teams EDFT's expertise in test strategies and implementation techniques with third parties that have extensive experience in migrating boundary-scan tests from a company's design group to volume manufacturing.

The ScanWorks boundary-scan environment works in conjunction with several other technologies. ASSET InterTech has effective working relationships with many of the companies that provide these technologies. Some of these companies are listed below.
Cadence, the leading supplier of electronic design automation products has incorporated boundary scan automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) capabilities into its systems. Many of Cadence's standards-compliant capabilities are compatible with the ScanWorks boundary-scan environment.
LogicVision, a supplier of built-in self-test products. ASSET supports LogicVision's memBIST-XT and JTAGxII products for at-speed board test.
Lucent Technologies and ASSET are working together to bring Lucent's boundary scan test technology to the marketplace. The companies have jointly developed two products, STEM and SystemMerge.
Mentor Graphics supplies electronic hardware and software design solutions. ASSET ScanWorks provides access to Mentor's test technologies that have been designed into integrated circuits.
Synopsys provides electronic design tools for complex integrated circuits. ASSET ScanWorks provides access to Synopsys' test technologies that have been designed into integrated circuits.
Because ScanWorks can be used to load configuration data and program code into programmable logic devices (PLDs) and flash memories, ASSET has established close working relationships with the vendors of these devices. These companies include the following:
Vendors of Boundary-Scan Technology
Lattice Semiconductor -- A leader in programmable logic devices (PLDs), Lattice Semiconductor has pioneered the use of boundary scan for the on-board programming of PLDs. Because ScanWorks is compliant with the IEEE 1532 standard for the in-system configuration (ISC) of PLDs, many of Lattice's ISC capabilities are compatible with ScanWorks.
National Semiconductor Corporation -- ScanWorks supports National's SCAN™ Bridge, a hierarchical and multidrop addressable boundary-scan port, as well as other devices that are needed to perform IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan test or on-board programming.
Texas Instruments, Inc. -- ScanWorks supports TI's testability support devices, including the Addressable Scan Port (ASP), Scan Path Linker, 8890 and 8980 test bus controllers and other 1149.1 devices.
Agilent Technologies -- ASSET's ScanWorks supports various test and programming tools from Agilent, including the company's graphical test programming environment, Agilent VEE.
National Instruments -- ScanWorks supports NI's LabVIEW, LabWindows and Test Stand.
Teradyne -- Teradyne's automatic test pattern generation software, VICTORY, Virtual Interconnect Test (VIT), Access Analyzer and Boundary-Scan Intelligent Diagnostics (BSID) have been integrated with ScanWorks. This integration allows for a seamless test flow from prototype debug to Teradyne Z, Spectrum and L-Series ICT systems and on to environmental test and field test.
Microsoft -- ScanWorks supports custom boundary-scan test development using Microsoft's Visual C++ Version 6.0 and Microsoft Visual Basic.
Borland -- ScanWorks supports custom boundary-scan test development using Borland C++ Builder Version 3.0 and Borland C++ Version 5.02.
