Sharing XJTAG Projects

How to Share Project Information

There are two ways to share projects between users – by creating an XJPack file or creating a Zip file. Both of these are done within XJDeveloper.

An XJPack file is intended for passing a project to the production team that will be running the tests, rather than being used as a basis for future development. The file is compressed and has tamper-protection so it can't accidentally be updated – once the file is created, its key contents such as the tests and board data can’t be changed. It contains all the information XJRunner needs to perform the tests, such as the test list and any required XJEase code. Additional data such as schematics, layout data, and programming files can also be included.

XJPack is the only file format that can be opened in XJRunner.

A Zip file created from within XJDeveloper contains all available project information, including schematics, layout data, BSDL files, etc. Importantly, XJDeveloper automatically collects these files from wherever they're stored, rather than leaving the user to locate them all and create their own compressed file. It is a useful way to transfer information between test developers, to send projects to XJTAG Support, and to create backups of your work.

This user guide section explains how to create these files. The following topics are covered:
