Abstract

A Java-based method for performing Boundary-Scan Test procedures on an IEEE Standard 1149.1 compliant integrated circuit device. A Boundary-Scan Test application procedural interface (BST API) is provided that includes several objects defining the Boundary-Scan architecture of IEEE Standard 1149.1 compliant integrated circuit devices, and defines a plurality of Java-based source code commands utilized in applets for performing Boundary-Scan Test procedures. To facilitate implementing a single applet on a wide variety of hardware platforms, the BST API is based on a command structure subset implemented by a wide range of available Java flavors.
