Intelligent Debug & Validation Tool (IDV Tool)

Platform designs based on Intel(R) solutions must follow processor power sequence timings, which are currently defined in paper-based electrical specifications. Any specification violation commonly causes platform booting issues, which are commonly solved only by manual analysis and use of expensive tools during fist power-on for every platform. As a result, Time to Market for platforms is significantly affected.

Intelligent Debug & Validation Tool (IDV Tool) provides a solution to resolve power-on issues, reduce Time to Market and development costs, and promote user self-sufficiency. The IDV Tool is fully configurable to automatically collect and timestamp any electrical activity across any number of signals over any time duration and then compare all collections to any set of expected behaviors downloaded to the IDV Tool as “smart” electrical specifications (rule kits). As a result, power-on-reset debug and validation work is automated to seconds and no special experience is required to perform the platform testing.
