PSOC™ Edge BSDL files​

Boundary-Scan Description Language (BSDL) is a subset of VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) that describes how boundary-scan (JTAG) is implemented in a device and how the device operates. It defines the data transport characteristics of the device, how it captures, shifts, and updates scanned data. Boundary-scan tools usually require that the user supply BSDL files for the devices being used in order to properly generate test vectors and perform in-system programming and functional testing.

PSOC™ Edge BSDL files for the various product families are listed in the below table.
