How to control the power of an embedded target in automated testing? 22-Jul-2024
For automated testing, it is often required to control the power of a target device. No matter if the target should be power-cycled to have a defined state for tests or if the target should only consume power when tests are actually executed. There are several options how target power cont...
NXP/ST Power Architecture: Download/reset does not work 22-Oct-2024
Certain PowerPC chips have escalation counters. These counters will keep track of consecutive resets and, if there are too many in a short time, the chip goes into a permanent reset. As a result, winIDEA cannot establish a debug session since the chip is in reset. Solution The solution is ...
