TIC Version Checker

To access the TIC Version Checker
From the View menu, point to
Validators
, and then click
TIC Version Checker
.
The
TIC Version Checker
 compares the compiled TIC code generated by the
AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software®
 with the application downloaded onto the
Trusted
 processor. The
TIC Version Checker
 validates that the running application and the compiled TIC code are identical by displaying any differences between the TIC code of the applications.
These conditions cause differences between the
Symbols CRC
,
Application CRC
, and
Total Size
 of an application:
  • Modifications made by a user
  • Unexpected changes caused by the
    AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software
  • Recompiling the project, for the Application CRC only
To compare versions of an application, create a copy of the project running on the processor. The
TIC Version Checker
compares the copy of the project with the running application. The
TIC Version Checker
 displays differences caused by modifying the project application.
The
TIC Version Checker
 is available from the
AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software
 or as a stand-alone application.
The
TIC Version Checker
 displays these details:
Program Name
The name of the project or application.
Version
The version of the application extracted from the downloaded database file.
Date
The last compilation date of the database file.
Time
The last compilation time of the database file.
Symbols CRC
Cyclic redundancy checking of the application symbols. Different applications may have matching
Symbols CRC
values if both applications contain the same symbols.
Total Size
Size of the application in bytes.
Application CRC
Cyclic redundancy checking of the downloaded TIC code. Recompiling a project changes the value of the
Application CRC
even when the application not modified.

Procedure
Compare application TIC code with the
TIC Version Checker
To compare versions of an application, create a copy of the project running on the processor. The
TIC Version Checker
 compares the project copy with the running application. The
TIC Version Checker
 displays differences caused by modifying the project application.
