In theory a JTAG device can perform boundary scan which is what you want to test the pins. But the XDS510 does not have any software that will perform this function. I once tried to get info from TI on how to use this board for boundary scan since the connector was already on the board and I already had the XDS510. But they wanted $10,000 just to give me the info I would need to write my own debugger and that would not even be enough info to write a boundary scan driver. But I did find a fairly low cost provider, under $1000. http://www.ricreations.com/JTAG-Software-Downloads.htm I have not seen anything cheaper.
