摘要： A circuit testing and control approach involves configurable switch control for automatically detecting and routing test signals along a plurality of test circuit paths. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, graphical user interface (GUI) (240) includes stored computer-executable code that, when executed, causes a micro-computer circuit to send configuration signals to a microcontroller (220). A configurable circuit (215) coupled to the microcontroller is then configured by the microcontroller, in response to the configuration signals, for routing test signals using controllable switches. In one implementation, the configurable circuit includes circuits on inter-connectable circuit boards (210, 250, 260), with sense nodes for detecting the presence of an inter-connectable circuit board coupled to another. In response to the detected presence (or lack thereof), the controllable switches control the routing of the test signals between the inter-connectable circuit boards. The configuration signals are used for one or more of actively controlling the microcontroller, programming the microcontroller (e.g., storing program code therein) or requesting data from the microcontroller. With these approaches, automatic switching of test signal paths, on an individual circuit and in connection with other circuits, is achieved without necessarily physically accessing the configurable circuit.

摘要： A circuit testing approach involves configurable switch control for automatically detecting and routing test signals along a plurality of test circuit paths. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a configurator arrangement (100) is programmed to control a configured circuit (110), the control including automatically setting switches (115) on the configured circuit. In one implementation, the configurator arrangement is programmed to automatically detect test signals (i.e., digital and/or JTAG test signals) and to control switches (115) for routing test data along a test circuit path. With this approach, manual switching for routing the test signals is not necessary, which has been found to be useful in applications where access to the circuit paths for switching is difficult or impossible. In another implementation, a communications link (130) passes signals between the configurator arrangement and a user interface (140), including control signals from the user interface and data from the configured circuit. The configurator arrangement (100) is further controllable (i.e., manually) or programmable by signals received from the user interface (140).
