The BSDL file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BSDL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BSDL file on each system platform.
What is BSDL file?
The BSDL file has been categorized as Data Files. The author of this format is IEEE. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. Boundary Scan Description Language Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. It is recommended to use Windows Notepad to handle this file. This is a program created by Microsoft Corporation. There are also 4 alternative programs to handle the BSDL file. You can use TextEdit, gedit, NotePad++ text editor in case Windows Notepad cannot be used.
How to open BSDL file?
The most common problem when using Boundary Scan Description Language Format is that a specific BSDL is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BSDL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BSDL file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Windows Notepad
The first step is to check if the computer has the Windows Notepad program installed. This can be achieved by typing Windows Notepad into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file BSDL.

Remember to download programs supporting BSDL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with BSDL files
If, despite the installed application, the BSDL file does not start in the Windows Notepad application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Windows Notepad application as the default for handling the BSDL file.
Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Windows Notepad program, it is possible that Boundary Scan Description Language Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BSDL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BSDL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BSDL file. However, remember that not every infected BSDL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BSDL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BSDL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IEEE
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BSDL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move BSDL to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BSDL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the BSDL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
