JTAG Dongles for CCS?

GoogleGroups

Hi Folks,

My first posting (and 1st project with the OMAP part).

We've designed a product using the BB schematics as the
basis, and 1st boards don't work. (surprise, surprise).

Anyhow, I'd like to hook up a JTAG dongle & see what is
really happening, but was quite shocked by the prices of the
'suggested' dongles that TI recommends.

I've got a mini N-link here that I've used on other ARM based
parts... would there be any patches / add-ons that might allow
me to use this for debugging?

Or other possible low<er> cost options.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

You could go for at XDS100v2 (79$) together with CCSv4 - I just got one, but
haven't yet had time to try it out, but it's supposed to work :slight_smile:

You can get it from:

SEMU100v2U-14T

Best regards - Good luck and welcome to the OMAP world :slight_smile:

Greetings:

I recently purchased a Rev C4 board with the TI 14-pin JTAG connector. TI does not recommend the 14-pin JTAG connection for new designs, and the OMAP processor has trace capability not available with the 14-pin connector.

So, does the -xM design still have the TI 14-pin JTAG connector?

They don’t? On the latest couple of TI Reference designs I have seen the 14 pin header still exists…

That being said changing to a connector (and getting some cheap HW) supporting SDTI as well as JTAG would be great J

So, does the -xM design still have the TI 14-pin JTAG connector?

Beagle XM still uses the original 14 pin header…

Hi Soren,

Looks like the 'free' one I got was a V1. Won't do the OMAP parts.

Guess I'll just have to !buy! one! :slight_smile:

Hello all,

I successfully managed to use a Blackhawk USB100V2 with CCS 4.1.2 Platinium
together with a Beagleboard v4.

I have used the dsplink 1.6.2 readwrite example sources, create a project with CCS 4 (quit painfull
to get it compiled). Then I followed the description here

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Debugging_the_DSP_side_of_a_DSPLink_application_on_OMAP_using_CCS

to step through the dsp code.

So, at least for me the USB100V2 is working. Great!

Some time ago I have bought a USB560+ clone, but for this device
and CCS 3.3 I had no luck to get it running with the Beagleboard DSP!

Regards

Martin
