ASSET’s Michael Johnson presented an update on Non-intrusive Board Test (NBT) at the 13th Annual Board Test Workshop (BTW) in Fort Collins, CO this past week. The overall question posed at the Workshop was, “Is Board Test Losing Relevance”?
The MSP430 is a mixed-signal microcontroller family from Texas Instruments. Built around a 16-bit CPU, the MSP430 is designed for low cost, low power consumption embedded applications. But, does it support boundary scan for board test purposes?
When an x86 system has crashed, gathering forensics data to help diagnose root-cause of the failure is a top priority. But, how is this done if the system has crashed, and OS/BIOS-based application programs cannot access the platform?
The mission of the Open Compute Project (OCP) is to design and enable the delivery of the most efficient server, storage and data center hardware designs for scalable computing. ASSET has just joined the OCP to contribute to the reliability and availability of OCP designs.
