Highlight Advantages   Highlight Features   Some of the tools  Supports the following  system platforms:  Sun Solaris     (2.6 and higher)  Linux     (kernel 2.4 and higher)  Windows NT     (soon)	STILink toolset contains a suite of software solutions, providing a duplex flow from design outputs to the test environment. The STIL-Link toolset creates an advanced environment that makes it easy to read, write and access what is in fact a fairly complex and sophisticated language, STIL (Standard Test Interface Language). The tool kit allows users to define their own processing methods, and keep the STIL data in organized libraries. This opens up many possibilities for users to analyze or manipulate the database. Highlight Advantages Effective read and write STIL data Easily manipulate and process STIL data Gives the user the ability to focus only on the data customization and let the tools handle all aspects of access to STIL Support STIL IEEE1450. with all its extensions Better address dynamic needs of the user as the toolset of solutions can be used in complete or in part Quick and useful path for achieving better Time-to- Market with liable results of the product testing Back to top Highlight Features API (Application Program Interface) for STIL Syntax Maintain a database of test programs in such a standard syntax Ability to read test programs after the debug phase Verification of test program quality Pre-Silicon debug ATE re-targeting – migrating easily from one ATE to another Command-line based tools Back to top Some of the tools STIL processor - provides the ability to access and process STIL database. Input: STIL ; Output: STIL Common uses: Optimize particular test that is in STIL syntax, to fit to a specific target tester Changing from one tester platform to another, using the STIL database to optimize existing test program to fit for use in another tester platform Collect specific information from STIL database ATEgen - generates a test program from STIL source data in a specific target tester's syntax. Provide detailed log-error when STIL data does not fit the target tester. Input: STIL Output Test program for a specific tester Common use: convert STIL syntax into tester compatible test program ATEin - provides the link back from ATE to STIL. It converts an existing test program to STIL syntax. The converted database represents the tester's operation. Input: Test program for a specific tester Output: STIL Common uses: When changing from one target tester to another (switch between testers) Closed loop verification by simulating the DUT model with the existing test program Incremental Integration of test patterns with an existing test program Back to top	Event driven to Tester Simulation results - WGL/STIL ATPG to Tester - Verification of test program before silicon - Simulate a test program - Simulation Data processing - VCD/EVCD files to tester files -  new Directly extract timing into WaveWizard Constructs - Suite of tools enables users to expand use of STIL - new
