Abstract
Embodiments disclosed relate to wireless debugging of digital circuitry. A boundary scan system for debugging a digital circuit includes a boundary scan interface configured to couple to the digital circuit. The system further includes a first wireless port coupled to the boundary scan interface. The system further includes a second wireless port in wireless communication with the first wireless port for allowing bidirectional communication between the first and second wireless ports. The system further includes a boundary scan debugging device coupled to the second wireless port. The boundary scan debugging device includes a processor configured to conduct a boundary scan analysis of the digital circuit across the wireless connection between the first and second wireless ports. Suitable boundary scan techniques and instructions for testing a digital circuit are set forth in IEEE 1149.

19. A method for boundary-scan testing a digital circuit, the method comprising:
-
wirelessly transmitting a boundary scan instruction to a wireless port in communication with a boundary scan interface coupled to a digital circuit, the boundary scan instruction identifying a test data register connected between a test data input (TDI) and a test data output (TDO) of the boundary scan interface; and
wirelessly receiving a result of execution of the boundary scan instruction, the result indicating whether the digital circuit conforms to a predefined function. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
