JTAG scan chain and remote debug

Started by Corey, Rick March 16, 2004
Hi All

Does CodeWarrior 6.0 IDE debug multiple DSPs (i.e. on a JTAG scan chain)?
Would that involve a plug-in option or other separately purchased module? I
understand that it would debug at most one chip at a time.

Further, is the TCP/IP remote debug capability an extra-price option?

We're looking into the idea of building remote debug capability into an
instrument with 45 DSP56F8357s. We found a JTAG-multiplexer chip, but don't
understand what Metrowerks-CW options exist.

Has anyone either made use of remote debugging or a JTAG scan chain with CW
and Motorola DSPs, e.g. 5683xx or 56800E chips? Or has anyone tried and
failed and learned thereby?
