Prototype Debugging
The TurboDebug™, family of products from SynTest, offers various tools and systems for debugging SoC chips and system boards. TurboDebug-PCB is a product for debugging interconnect faults on system boards populated with one or more SoCs. It uses the boundary scan chain to detect "open" or "short" faults on the printed circuit board. It operates on any PC that has a PCI slot and runs on Linux as OS.

The TurboDebug-PCB comes with an interface board to be plugged into a PCI-slot of a PC, and a "demo" system board, with LEDs and jumpers, to illustrate the interconnect test and debug capabilities/operations of the software tool.

For actual testing, customers need to connect the PC-based interface board via a 9-pin or a 25-pin connector to the boundary scan pins (TDO, TDI, TCK, TMS and TRST) on the system board. Interconnects to peripheral I/O pins can be tested using loop-backs. Test configurations are easy to set up using pull down menus. The program can be operated either in detection or diagnosis mode. Interconnect problems can be displayed on schematics.

The TurboDebug-PCB package, in addition to the software tool, contains an interface board to be plugged into the PCI-slot, a "demo" system board, a power adapter and an interconnection cable.
