ASSET’s ScanWorks Supports On-Chip Evaluation of Avago Technologies’ ASICs
ASSET InterTech has announced that it has reached an agreement under which ScanWorks, the company's platform for open embedded instrumentation tools, will support Avago Technologies' embedded instrumentation technology for select applications-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). ASSET is the leading supplier of open tools for embedded instrumentation.
Avago's Intel Quick Path Interconnect (QPI) SerDes (serializer/deserializer) core is compliant with Intel's Interconnect Built In Self Test (IBIST) and is suitable for ASICs in high-performance server applications. ASSET's ScanWorks is the only commercial tool platform that will automate, access and analyze data generated by Intel IBIST technology.
Initially, ScanWorks will support Avago ASICs featuring SerDes that are compatible with Intel QPI. With this recent arrangement, customers will be able to rapidly access both the Intel chipset and the Avago SerDes with a single tool, ScanWorks.
"We believe that Avago's customers will benefit from the ability to use ScanWorks when developing their products," said Tim Caffee, vice president, I/O instrumentation, for ASSET. "We also expect that other semiconductor companies will deploy Intel IBIST, and we will be well positioned to support them as well."
