Reverse engineering for board test - Story
October 22, 2009
Historically, customers are faced with situations where CCA data is not available for a variety of reasons. Situations where Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have been acquired by other OEMs or designs have been generated prior to the age of remote storage or escrow agents can result in the loss of data. Some companies, especially market segments such as depot repair, no longer have access to actual CAD or memory disks containing the original design files or source code of a particular CCA. With contract obligations up to 20 years, what can a field repair shop or depot do to create documentation for a particular CCA? The answer lies in utilizing ATE flying probers particularly designed to ?reverse engineer? a CCA. Reverse engineering can assist the depots in documentation creation and full test functionality.
