ScanWorks supports Intel Xeon processor 5500 series
-- Test & Measurement World, 6/1/2009 2:00:00 AM
Asset InterTech’s ScanWorks platform for embedded instrumentation now supports both signal-integrity design validation and circuit-board test for the new Intel Xeon processor 5500 series, code-named Nehalem, as well as the 5520 chipset. The Xeon 5500 series processors will be deployed in systems using Intel’s QPI (QuickPath Interconnect) platform architecture.
To validate Intel Xeon processor 5500 series-based designs, the ScanWorks platform employs Intel’s IBIST (Interconnect Built-In Self-Test) embedded instrumentation technology, which is being placed in Intel’s next-generation processors and chipsets. ScanWorks employs the embedded IBIST instrumentation to perform margining and BERT (bit-error-rate test) on high-speed buses like QPI and PCIe. The same ScanWorks platform with its processor-controlled test capabilities can also test Nehalem-based circuit boards.
ScanWorks is able to take control of an Intel Xeon processor 5500 series CPU and assert structural and functional tests and diagnostics on other devices and buses on the circuit board, including the 5520 chipset. ScanWorks’ validation and test capabilities improve the quality of the system and accelerate a new product’s time-to-market.
