Mid-range JTAG emulator for embedded designs

Supporting USB connection to the host computer, the XDS200 JTAG emulators function with 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. Providing direct access to the application program, memory and registers, the new JTAG emulator also offers the ability to control device execution. Texas Instrument JTAG emulators, the new XDS200 included, can be controlled through a software integrated development environment, such as TI’s Code Composer Studio IDE.

XDS200 JTAG Emulator key features and benefits:

• Significant performance and productivity improvement over the entry-level, scan-based XDS100 JTAG emulator, allowing a larger array of debug capabilities, power levels and IEEE standards.
• Supports 14-pin TI, 20-pin TI, 20-pin ARM and 10-pin ARM Cortex JTAG headers.
• Features debug capabilities, such as emulation connect/disconnect, read/write memory, read registers, load program, run, halt, step, software and hardware breakpoint support and real-time mode.
• Supports traditional IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG), IEEE 1149.7 (cJTAG) and Serial Wire Debug for a large variety of embedded software designs.
• Sustains a broad range of JTAG interface input/output power levels (+1.5v to +4.1V).
• Enables users to get started on TI embedded processor designs quickly and easily with XDS200 quick-start guide.
• Facilitates software design on nearly all TI embedded processors.
• Provides users a complete, robust tool chain for hardware debug and algorithm development with TI’s compatible Code Composer Studio IDE.

Pricing and availability:

The XDS200 JTAG emulator with USB is available today for $295 (USD) from the TI e-store.  Ethernet versions of this emulator (XDS220 JTAG) are also available through Spectrum Digital.
