"Analysis Without The Limitations"

  SerialTek announces the newest addition to it's SAS and SATA testing portfolio, the BusMod SAS/SATA Error Injector and BusGen SATA BIST Generator

SerialTek announces the addition of the BusMod Error Injector to its product line-up of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) development tools. The BusMod Error Injector builds on the BusXpert’s powerful GUI by adding capabilities for causing errors on a live data stream. This gives the capability to test real-time error handling, system recovery, and duplication of issues seen in the field.

The BusMod Error Injector can be used in conjunction with the BusXpert line of SAS and SATA analyzers to further extend development and debug by capturing and displaying the traffic on the SAS or SATA bus. BusMod’s error injection capabilities include generating random line errors, such as CRC or 8b10b encoding, changing frame data and replacing frames and primitives.  This, combined with BusXpert’s easy-to-use software interface, allows users to create simple or complicated error injection scenarios.

 “Developers are always looking for a way to break the system,” says Dale Smith, President and Chief Technical Officer of SerialTek. ”BusMod gives users the chance to verify their design robustness with live traffic between real devices.”

BusMod also has the capability of generating the SATA Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) frame for testing physical compliance of both hosts and devices. Used with the Frame Error Rate Counter (FERC) capability of the BusXpert SAS or SATA analyzers, the BusXpert Micro and Pro systems become versatile SATA compliance test tools.

BusXpert and BusMod now support Linux for both complete installs and API. Currently supported versions: Fedora 12, Ubuntu 9.10, OpenSUSE 11.2, SUSE Lunux Enterprise Server 11 and RedHat/CentOS 5.4.

Who is SerialTek?

SerialTek was founded by 20 year industry veteran Dale Smith who was also the former founder and CEO of Data Transit and creator of the very successful Bus Doctor line of analyzers for SAS and SATA.  In June of 2008, Paul J. Mutschler joined SerialTek as the Vice President of Sales and Business Development, bringing another 20 years of experience in Storage and Analysis to SerialTek. Paul and Dale worked together at Data Transit in the same capacities so it was just natural to bring this team back to the analyzer forefront. The SAS/SATA BusXpert is the first of 'many' products to be invented by the SerialTek team and is the most technologically advanced product to ever be released in the protocol analyzer space.
