Hi ,
Generally You will find USB interface
emulator
cheap in price. But for a professional project, I find
they not that suitable. As one have to keep on
reconfiguring the driver interface with the Windows
machine & host of other problems. That loose
professional people time in big project. Comparatively
PCI interface emulators are more stable. But are
expansive.
However on the other hand for educational
purpose project, or for mobile expert they (USB
interface) are fine.
Please note (USB interface ) emulators provide
same feature as are in the PCI interface emulators.

Hope this helps. For this particular emulator I do
not have experience so can't comment but should be
okay if in TI 's third party list.

Bye
Gagan

Not true. We have been using Blackhawk USB emulator for almost a
year now and have seen not reason to reconfigure driver yet. Speed
of our USB emulator is slower then for example FlexDS PCI card we
also have, but that might have been changed with newer USB emulators.

ACE one has USB version 2.0 interface, so the speed should be good - see:

Well,
I hope I am wrong. We use Blackhawk USB,
Flexds USB, Flexds PCI & last but not lest TI PCI. All
four types with even larger numbers in our single
project. USB interface is hot swap stuff. U manage
time sharing of emulators on diffrent cards with
diffrent developers in short timelines. U will know
what is wrong what is right.

Speed of emulator and of its interface are quite different
things. Due low bandwidth of XDS510 protocol, USB 2.0 high-speed
interface (equal to USB 1.0 high-speed, 12Mbps) is not limiting
factor by any means.

I can tell for sure that PCI flexds is faster then USB2.0
BlackHawk. Have not tested ACE (yet).

With blackhawk I really love remote debugging capability (emulator
sharing over tcp/ip)
