Compliance Suite Software to Support Link Layer Specification Version 1.0

17 January 2012 - LeCroy announced the release of their compliance test suite that adheres to the newly ratified USB 3.0 Link Layer Test Specification 1.0. The LeCroy compliance test suite is an approved Link Verification System (LVS) by the USB-IF and is used during SuperSpeed USB compliance workshops for testing link layer conformance.

Available as a software option for their Voyager platform, the LeCroy compliance suite debuted in 2009 and has been extensively tested with the help of many USB 3.0 developers that use the LeCroy Voyager system as part of their internal verification testing.

"The USB Implementers Forum Compliance Committee added Link Layer testing to the SuperSpeed USB Certification program as part of our ongoing effort to ensure comprehensive compliance for the USB 3.0 standard," stated Jeff Ravencraft, USB-IF President & COO. "LeCroy's support of the Link Layer test specification 1.0 will help our members bring USB 3.0 products to market that deliver high performance and interoperability."

The USB-IF's Link Layer compliance specification includes 37 test cases that verify hundreds of link layer test assertions from the USB 3.0 base specification. LeCroy's turnkey compliance software provides a graphical console that steps through the test process and generates pass/fail reports identifying possible violations. The suite specifically addresses link layer error recovery, link state timing and power management behaviors. The LeCroy USB compliance suite software version 1.40 is available for download on the LeCroy website.
