I recall that Memec was selling a low cost boundary scan tester just for
this sort of thing. I don't remember what it was called, or what it
cost, but I do remember that "low cost" was getting more expensive. I
guess they found that they had to raise prices to make ends meet. This
tends to be a low volume business area and so they have to charge higher
prices. Too bad there are no open source tools for this. But I have
not even found much support from the chip makers in this area. They
build boundary scan into their chips and leave the rest to you! The
best you can hope for is a BSDL file.
