Falcon G350
Colorado Springs, Colorado (PRWEB) May 12, 2017
Protocol Insight announces the availability of the Falcon v1.1 SW/FW with the unique Trace Validation and Events view capabilities. With v1.1 software Falcon now offers full support for UFS compliance testing of embedded UFS2.1, the UFS 2.1 external card and the UFSA CTM1.2. This release also adds enhanced analyzer and exerciser features.
Trace Validation is an expert system that uses state machine logic to analyze captured traces algorithmically without user intervention. It analyzes UFS and UniPro traffic for any deviations from the UFS or UniPro specifications or any other abnormalities of interest to the engineer, and presents the results linked to the packet listing windows for complete debug.
Events view displays events on the bus in a unique time-aligned display, allowing the engineer to easily drill down from the highest level trace view to the lowest level M-PHY primitives.
UFS compliance verifies embedded UFS2.1 and UFS 2.1 external cards to the CTS test cases in JESD224 as modified for JESD220B, JESD220C and JESD220-2.
The Falcon v1.1 release adds support for 244 CTS test cases, including JESD224 compliant test cases, errata test cases and preliminary embedded UFS2.1 and UFS2.1 external card CTS test cases. With both stimulus tests and Trace Validation analysis tests, a total of 491 tests are provided.
The previous v1.0 release provided support for 50 UniPro CTS test cases with 99 stimulus and Trace Validation analysis tests, as well as 14 UniPro Debug Trace Validation tests and 1 other Trace Validation test.
New analyzer features with v1.1 include:
1. Simple Trigger on all UniPro and UFS packet types and payloads, from M-PHY primitives to UFS SCSI and Protocol.
2. Simple Packet Search of all UniPro and UFS packet headers and payloads.
3. Performance enhancements and multi-lane support for Events view.
4. Trace Validation™ for UFS, using pre-existing Trace Validation analysis tests from the Falcon software library.
New Exerciser features include:
1. JEDEC JESD224 and UFSA CTM v1.2 support.
2. Stimulus error injection for UFS and UniPro.
3. Additional test executive UFS device configuration and control.
