Spectrum Digital Announces New JTAG Emulator

Kane Computing Ltd (KCL) are pleased to announce that Spectrum Digital Inc. the leading provider of development tools for Texas Instruments (TI) Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), announces the introduction of the XDS560v2 System Trace JTAG Emulator for single chip DSPs, multi-core devices, and SoCs produced by Texas Instruments.

This new emulator delivers a higher level of debug capability required by the developer using these high performance processors. These new capabilities are aimed at developing better software, reducing the development cycle, and shortening time to market. The emulator offers standard features not previously available in the TI arena: MIPI System Trace on select processors, simultaneous Ethernet and USB interfaces to the host PC/laptop, modular JTAG tail, and MIPI JTAG interface with modular target adapters.

Using the XDS560v2 and TI’s Code Composer Studio IDETM 4.2 or later gives developers the most powerful tools available to generate advanced applications with state of the art TI processors.

The emulator to host connection options (USB 2.0 and/or Ethernet) give the user greater flexibility in setting up the debug hardware environment.

The XDS560v2 supports the following TI processor families: C28xxx, C64x+, C5000, C6000, OMAP3TM, OMAP4TM, OMAP-L13x, DavinciTM and ARM. Processors with JTAG interface levels ranging from +1.2v to 4.1v are supported by the XDS560v2. There are 9 LEDs that provide operational status of the emulator along with a user accessible RESET switch.

The XDS560v2 kit includes: 

  • XDS560v2 System Trace JTAG emulator
  • USB cable
  • Ethernet cable
  • RS-232 cable
  • JTAG cable with 4 target adapters (MIPI60-TI14, MIPI60-CTI20, MIPI60-TI60, MIPI60-ARM20
  • Universal power supply with 3 line cords
  • Documentation (Setup instructions, Technical Reference Manual, Adapter schematics)
  • CD-ROM containing drivers

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.

Secure Authentication ICs for Disposable and Accessory Ecosystems
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Microchip
Secure authentication for disposable and accessory ecosystems is a critical element for many embedded systems today. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Xavier Bignalet from Microchip discuss the benefits of Microchip’s Trust Platform design suite and how it can provide the security you need for your next embedded design. They investigate the value of symmetric authentication and asymmetric authentication and the roles that parasitic power and package size play in these kinds of designs.
