DSP News - October 2010
This new emulator offers standard features not previously available in the TI arena: MIPI System Trace on select processors, simultaneous Ethernet and USB interfaces to the host PC/laptop, modular JTAG tail, and MIPI JTAG interface with modular target adapters.
Using the XDS560v2 and TI's Code Composer Studio IDE™ 4.2 or later gives developers the most powerful tools available to generate advanced applications with state of the art TI processors.
The emulator to host connection options (USB 2.0 and/or Ethernet) give the user greater flexibility in setting up the debug hardware environment. |

Spectrum Digital Tip of the Month (1) SdConfigEx Utility |
The SdConfig utility has been extended to SdConfigEx to support advanced features of the XDS510USB PLUS emulator. SdConfigEx looks and works very much like SdConfig. The features are the same with regard to the XDS510USB, XDS510LC, and XDS510PP PLUS, however there are added options related to the XDS510USB PLUS. Most notable is the ‘TCK Frequency MHz” options. Since the XDS510USB PLUS has a variable JTAG clock, the TCK Frequency MHz option allows the user to select the desired speed/frequency of the JTAG communication. The XDS510USB PLUS supports 1MHz to 32 MHz JTAG clock frequency, whereas the original XDS510USB used a fixed 12MHz clock. There are also a number of other options that can easily be modified using the SdConfigEx.
More details can be found in the SdConfigEx Tech Note PDF file that is included with our emulation driver installation. The Tech Note can be found in the following installation paths:
CCS v3.3 Installation:
C:\CCStudio_v3.3\specdig\sdconfigex\technote_8.pdf
CCS v4.x Installation:

Spectrum Digital Tip of the Month (2) Emulation support for CCS |
JTAG Emulators XDS510 USB and XDS510 USB PLUS support CCS V3.x, V4.1.x and when available V4.2. Support for the XDS560R will not be extended past V4.1.2.
The new XDS560v2 will support CCS V4.2 onwards.
For customers using XDS560R who want to use V4.2.3 or V4.2. Spectrum Digital will exchange it for an XDS510 USB PLUS free of charge within the 12 month warranty period. |

The AM3715 Processor Module from Mistral is an integral part of Mistral's AM37x EVM. Built around the AM3715 high-end application processor from TI, this plug-in, easy to use development module makes the AM37x EVM a modular and extendable solution for multimedia/wireless based product developers.
The AM3715 processor interfaces are routed to the board-to-board connectors, thus allowing teh developer to add their own peripherals to their design. |
