Corelis, Inc, a subsidiary of Electronic Warfare Associates, Inc. ^[1], is a private US company categorized under Electronic Equipment & Supplies^[2] and is based in Cerritos, California^[3].

History

Corelis was incorporated in 1991^[4] and initially provided engineering services primarily to the aerospace and defense industries^[5]. Corelis introduced their first JTAG boundary scan products in 1998^[6]. In 2006, Electronic Warfare Associates, Inc. (EWA) a global provider of technology and engineering services to the aerospace, defense and commercial industries, announced their acquisition of Corelis, Inc^[7]. In 2008, the appointment of George B. La Fever as Corelis President and CEO finalized the transition of Corelis, Inc. into EWA Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the EWA corporate family of high technology companies^[8].

Products

Corelis offers two distinct types of products and services: Standard Products (Boundary Scan Test Systems and Development Tools); and Custom Test Systems and System Integration^[9].

Boundary Scan

Corelis introduced their first (JTAG boundary scan products in 1998^[10]. Corelis offers boundary scan/JTAG software and hardware products^[11]. Its ScanExpress boundary scan systems are used for structural testing as well as JTAG functional emulation test and in-system programming of Flash memory, CPLDs, and FPGAs^[12].a

In 2007^[13], Corelis released ScanExpress JET, a test tool that combines boundary scan and functional test (FCT) technologies for test coverage^[14].

Test Systems and Integration

Systems are available for design and debugging, manufacturing test, and field service and support. A variety of system options are available including desktop solutions as well as portable solutions for use in the field with laptops^[15]. Corelis also provides engineering services, training^[16], and customer support^[17].

Projects

Between 1991 and 1998, Corelis offered engineering services and licensed HP technologies^[18]. Corelis also distributed JTAG Technologies products and took on specific custom design projects from companies such as Motorola and HP^[19].

Corelis, in partnership with Hewlett-Packard, Inc. jointly developed a large-scale test and simulation system for the Motorola Iridium satellite project^[20]. The special test equipment system (including the portion provided by Hewlett-Packard) are designed to completely test and simulate the on-board communications systems of the satellite, and to provide a satellite computer software development test bed^[21].

In 1997, Corelis introduced ScanPlus, a high performance, low cost PC platform for executing boundary scan test vectors generated by the HP 3070 in-circuit test family from Hewlett-Packard Company^[22].

Other early Corelis projects include developing processor modules for HP/Agilent based logic analyzers; and developing early emulation products for processors such as the Intel i960 and AMD Am29000^[23].
