BSDL Support
Intel provides boundary-scan description language (BSDL) files for IEEE Standard 1149.1, IEEE Standard 1149.6 and IEEE Standard 1532 specifications. BSDL files provide a syntax that allows the device to run boundary-scan test (BST) and in-system programmability (ISP). The IEEE 1149.1 BSDL files available on this website are used for pre-configuration BST. If you want to perform BST after configuration, you can select the appropriate generation tools and guidelines for the post-configuration BSDL generation in Table 1.
