Protocol Insight Announces the release of version 1.0 of their Universal Flash Storage (UFS) MIPI® Test Executive


(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Colorado Springs, Colorado (PRWEB) November 10, 2014 Protocol Insight today announced that version 1.0 of their UFS20COMP UFS Test Executive is now publicly available; previously it was only offered as an early beta to select customers.



Protocol Insight's UFS20COMP Test Executive, first announced in June at the MIPI Alliance meeting in Budapest, Hungary, provides complete analysis of the packet protocol characteristics of Universal Flash Storage (UFS) devices, to debug and verify interoperability with compliant devices.

The Test Executive analyzes the entire UFS response packet for conformance to the JESD220B UFS 2.0 and UniPro 1.6 specs. For example, the Test Executive evaluates over 30 of the major protocol characteristics of the Inquiry response packet, including the Basic UPIU Header, Data In and Response UPIUs, when performing Inquiry Test Case 7.1.1, even though only 4 checks are required to pass the JESD224 CTS.


UFS20COMP also performs compliance testing to the JEDEC JESD224 UFS Protocol CTS, for UFS v2.0 and UniPro v1.6.

17 test categories are currently supported:    •  Inquiry    •  Request Sense    •  Mode Sense    •  Mode Select    •  Start Stop    •  Format Unit    •  Test Unit Ready    •  Verify    •  Send Diagnostic    •  Report LUNs    •  Synchronize Cache    •  Pre Fetch 10    •  UFS Task Management    •  UFS Descriptor    •  UFS Flag    •  UFS Attribute    •  UFS UPIU Over 100 individual tests are included, for all permutations of LUN, Speed and Link Width supported by Keysight's U4431A MIPI protocol analyzer.

Additional test categories and tests will be added in subsequent releases for a total of over 200 tests in 30 test categories.

Pricing and availability: UFS20COMP Test Executive v1.0 is available now. It is offered as a 12 month license with an annual renewal option, and operates in conjunction with the Keysight Technologies U4431A MIPI M-PHY protocol analyzer.
