Educational Software
Trainer 1149
Trainer 1149 software allows the user to dive deep into the IEEE Std. 1149.1 operation principles through detailed visualization, study the boundary scan test basics, carry out own experiments by injecting faults and performing fault diagnostics. The software tool comes with a built-in example project while the user can create and add own models of boards, chips, cluster logic, etc.

BSDL.info
Free public library of BSDL models for many devices.
BSDL.info is a free public collection of Boundary Scan Description Language (BSDL) files for many different devices. Boundary Scan (JTAG) tools typically use BSDL descriptions to perform BS testing of PCBs or enable JTAG-based access to built-in chip DFT structures. The content of this site is constantly updated by the automated BSDL web-search system, new BSDL can be also uploaded by site's users. Currently the library contains more than 7000 different BSDL files.
DefSim
An integrated measurement environment for physical defect study in CMOS circuits.
DefSim is an integrated circuit (IC) and a measurement environment for experimental study of CMOS defects. The central element of the DefSim environment is an educational IC with a large variety of shorts and opens physically inserted into a set of simple digital circuits. The IC is attached to a dedicated measurement box serving as an interface to the computer. The box supports two measurement modes - voltage and IDDQ testing
