Blackhawk's 3rd Generation USB560 JTAG Emulator for TI DSPs

Blackhawk has announced the availability of a third-generation version of its industry standard USB560 JTAG Emulator (USB560).

The new USB560 JTAG Emulator model (USB560BP) supports all of the features and performance you have come to expect from Texas Instruments XDS560 advanced emulation technology. These features include, but are not limited to; a variable test clock (TCK) running up to 50 MHz, high-speed real time data exchange (HS-RTDX), advanced event triggering, and a highly flexible JTAG cable connection suitable for use from 5.0 volts down to 0.5 volts to support the TI low-voltage device roadmap.

The USB560BP is smaller than previous versions and does not require any external power. It is powered directly from the Universal Serial Bus connection. It uses a USB 2.0 compliant controller, which achieves speeds up to 480 megabits per second for increased speed and faster code download performance. Blackhawk pioneered the USB JTAG emulator for TI DSPs and the USB560BP continues with the performance, speed, portability, and quality with which the Blackhawk name has become synonymous.

The Blackhawk USB560BP supports TMS320 DSP family, TMS470 (ARM) families, OMAP platforms, and the new DaVinci() technology from TI. It is compatible with the TI Code Composer Studio integrated development environment (IDE), v2.2 and later, as well as the Code Composer Studio flashburn plug-in utilities.
