USB JTAG emulator for DSP development
17 July 2002
DSP, Micros & Memory
Blackhawk's USB 2.0 JTAG Emulator is an interface between a GUI debugger, running on a PC, and the target DSP. The advantage of using JTAG, scan-path-based emulation (IEEE 1149.1) is that it provides the developer with non-intrusive target architecture independent tools. All that is required of the target hardware is a 14-pin header connected to the scan path pins of the DSP chip.
Blackhawk says that the added benefit of its USB 2.0 JTAG Emulator is that it is a USB peripheral with a small-sized pod. This allows for a portable, compact design with easy installation and high compatibility (no need to worry about free slots, IRQs, I/O addresses, power cables, and non-standard parallel ports). The USB 2.0 JTAG Emulator is target independent, which means that when Texas Instruments releases support for a new DSP device, one does not need any additional software.
The Blackhawk USB 2.0 JTAG Emulator comes with documentation, cables, Win98/2000 USB drivers as well as Code Composer Studio v1.x and v2.x drivers to support TMS320 (C2000, C5000, C6000, and VC33) and TMS470 (ARM) devices with JTAG interface.
