A Versatile Instrument for Analyzing and Testing the Interfaces of Peripheral Devices

The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices - SSD'05, Sousse, Tunisia, March 2005.

Abstract: This work presents a flexible development and testing environment, created for evaluating the performance and analyzing the characteristics of interfaces used by peripheral devices. The versatility of the presented instrument is due to the integration of the Matlab/Simulink tools with a custom reconfigurable hardware platform using the PCMCIA bus of conventional laptop computers. The hardware platform uses reconfigurable circuits, acts as a host adapter of the peripheral device and transforms the test sequences of the high level software tool into interface specific bit-streams, while it simultaneously collects interface-related data for further processing.
