SW PBT/nnn - Built-In Test (BIT) Firmware and Software
Concurrent Technologies Built-In Test (BIT) software provides a range of self-test diagnostics which allows extensive live in-system testing. It is available for a range of Concurrent Technologies single board computers spanning various system architectures, e.g. VPX, VME, VXS and CompactPCI®. The BIT software is optional and is available in two parts: the first part is implemented by on-board firmware and provides standalone diagnostics; the second part is an Operating System (OS) specific package (e.g. Linux) which provides run-time diagnostics that can execute alongside the application. The combination of these two parts can provide 95%, or greater, test coverage for each board. Contact Concurrent Technologies for the latest range of boards and Operating Systems supported.
