I have finally tested the interface chip. The TDI signal ( output from
emulator ) is work fine. The TDO from the target seem to be toggling but
the output is not changing. So I will be checking the PCB board to make
sure that it is not shorted.

Thank you to Greg for your suggestion.

Best Regards
Tony

Hello Greg,

>How about measuring TDI & TDO ?
That is what I am planning to do. I am going to measure the 74HC244 input and output of the TDI and TDO signal. Thank you Tony

Hello Tony,

How about measuring TDI & TDO ?
Compared to the clock's edge you can see what's going on.
Anyway we also exchanged a driver chip on an emulator
- means it's not impossible that it is broken.

                                Regards Wolfgang.

I recently bought an emulator from China, it is a "TDS510 DSP USB2.0". CCS
can't initialise the CPU, so I tested the emulator with xdsprobe.exe ( the
targetis a F2808 CPU on a board that was working fine with a Spectrum's
XDS510 emulator and the target PD is connected to 3.3V ). I got the
following result, 

The test for the JTAG IR instruction scan-path length succeeded.
The JTAG IR instruction scan-path length is 38 bits.

The test for the JTAG DR bypass scan-path length succeeded.
The JTAG DR bypass scan-path length is 1 bits.

I tested the board with -c

When the test data is 0xFFFFFFFF there was no Error, 100% pass.

When the test data is 0x00000000 the first test suit fail but the
subsequence test suit pass.

It seem to me that the emulator has difficulties in writing alternating 1
and 0, and the 0 is read in as 1. The emulator interface chip is a
74HC244. I believe the 74HC244 is broken.

Can anybody give me some suggestion, please.

Best Regards and thank you in advance
Tony
