Expert's Corner: Simplify Product Testing With PEmicro Tools

Nov 01, 2005

Product testing is a critical yet often complex and expensive process. Taking advantage of embedded processors with on-chip debug capability has made it easier to complete a simple internal test of a product. The following explains how you can take advantage of these capabilities to create your own product test. We’ll examine these four areas to improve your testing process:

  1. Use of Debug Mode (BDM) to control processor operation
  2. Application of PEmicro’s DLLs on a PC to make test applications which control the processor and run tests via debug mode
  3. Using the Processor to test as much of the board hardware as possible
  4. Creating a test fixture to add more complex test capabilities
