I was astonished by http://www.jtag.org as I found that this URL is registered by Corelis. Inc and not JTAG :) But after all I decided that I may be wrong since I am absolutely not an expert in TAP & BSA standard. Instead, I searched the net for JTAG: http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/jtag/educ.htm http://www.sun.com/microelectronics/whitepapers/wpr-0018-01/ http://www.jtag.com/brochure.php?lg=en#1 These are only a small part of 200+ links. It was quite interesting for me to read them. :) Regards, Andrew > Date: Mon, 01 Oct 2001 18:21:19 -0000 > From: > > Hello all. I have a simple question on JTAG Emulator.

Hi, The emulator permits us to control the DSP remotely, from one PC running Code Composer. We can download programs, place breakpoints, run programs step by step, watch variables, internal registers and memory positions, and so on. The in-chip interface that permits this emulation is the JTAG. I hope this short explanation may clarify your questions. Regards, Alexandre Communications Enginner - Brazil --- escreveu: > Hello all.

Hi As 2 your question , the JTAG only defines an interface, in our case between the DSP and the PC. it enables the PC to control the DSP and read/write data from/to it. the part who is actually performing the emulation ("imitation") is the DSP. The PC is able the put the DSP in emulation mode (through the JTAG connection) and from this point on the DSP in controlled by the PC allowing the user to debug his program (or whatever) more easily. i hope it helped :-) -----Original Message----- From: [mailto:] Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 8:21 PM To: Subject: [c6x] Question on JTAG Emulator. Hello all. I have a simple question on JTAG Emulator. To emulate means to imitate. In the case of EVM or DSK, what components are the JTAG Emulator trying to emulate? What is the purpose of having JTAG Emulator? Any comments/explanations/advices are welcome. Thanks. Regards, A.

A JTAG "emulator" attaches to the real processor in a (hopefully) non-intrusive way, so you can probe internal signals, set breakpoints etc. The processor usually has some dedicated hardware for performing these tasks... does that help?

Hi Feynman, RTDX is a part of JTAG, which does the real time transfer of data between host and EVM board. That means JTAG emulation is a kind of dubugging tool using which one can access the state of the DSP's memory in the real time mode. regards, --seema. On Mon, 1 Oct 2001 wrote: > Hello all.
