All-

Is there a way to independently test a Spectrum Digital XDS510PP emulator and
JTAG scan chain without using SDConfig?

Our lab servers do not have motherboard parallel ports.  Adding parallel port
PCI/PCIe cards fails with SDConfig
because Spectrum Digital uses  "direct I/O" access to legacy parallel
port addresses (e.g. 0x0378, 0x0278, etc), and
they have not fixed this over the years.  The exchange on this thread:

  http://objectmix.com/dsp/784733-xds510pp-plus-ccs-3-3-a.html

sums up this issue and accurately reflects our own internal experience.  But, if
we could avoid SDConfig and find
another way to test the emulator and scan length, that would be fine.  Our test
procedures require a method
independent of CCS and some of the commercial customers we support still use
parallel-port emulators.

Will xdsprobe work?  For example can we enter something like:

  xdsprobe -f xxx.dat -i -v -p ce00

Thanks.
