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.

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.

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. --Gagan --- Indrek Rebane <> wrote: > Hi Gagan, > > gagan singh wrote: > > 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. > > Not true.

Hi, Roman Rumian wrote: > ACE one has USB version 2.0 interface, so the speed should be > good - see: > http://www.softronx.com/Products/emulator_comparison.asp 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) Indrek -- Indrek Rebane | Borthwick-Pignon Electronics Engineer | Tartu Science Park Phone: (+372) 7 302 641 | Riia 185, 51014 Tartu Fax: (+372) 7 383 041 | Estonia | www.bps.co.ee |
