Hi All, I have to convert Intel Hex Code into JTAG bits so that I can directly provide the output (JTAG Bits) to the JTAG I/F. I can use JTAG for this. So can please let me know hoe to do Intel Hex conversion into JTAG bits. Any kind of example, documents and flow diagram will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Appu

Hi, it appears funny but interesting. I am debugging a problem and for which I am using TRACE32 JTAG interface on ARM platform. But when I try to run system without attaching JTAG it crashing where as at the same time once i mount it on JTAG it runs smoothly I observed that JTAG introduces some delay so i introduced some delays at specific locations but still it is same ...

I'm new to learning about jtag and it's capabilities, and my professor isn't helping me at all. I understand jtag is mainly used in processors, but I was reading on Altera's website about a flash chip (EPM3032A) they use that has jtag support. What jtag device would I need to communicate with a flash chip like that? I understand there are jtag devices that support many versions of arm, mip...

Hi, I am writing a bit of software to control a JTAG port, but I am having a bit of trouble getting it working. Below are the steps my software is following to test out a JTAG connection. I think that there must be an error in there somewhere, but from my understanding of the JTAG TAP and the way JTAG works, I can't see a problem at the moment. Can anyone comment on whether I am cont...

My JTAG Cable1 has just failed and I need to get another JTAG programmer, ideally with a USB interface although if it has to be serial so be it. Obviously I'd get an Atmel JTAG ICE Mk11 if the cost wasn't so ridiculously high so it'll have to be an alternative. What are people's views on the best one available at the moment? Thanks. Roger.


MSP430 and Atmel AVR in one JTAG chain?

Does anybody know if either the MSP430 or Atmel ATmega AVR parts (or associated JTAG interface widgets/SW) have problems when there are other devices in the JTAG chain? In the past, I've run into buggy JTAG stuff that couldn't tolerate having multiple devices in the JTAG chain. I'm working on a design with both an AVR and an MSP430, and I'd like to have a single JTAG header/chain. Before...

I have a microprocess device I would like to patch. It has some headers and I know one of them is JTAG, but I can't figure out which nor which pins have which JTAG lines (TRST, etc). Does anybody have some suggestions re. how to identify the JTAG pins, perhaps using a scope and a multimeter?

I am having problem jtag an ARM Cortex M3 at more than 1/256 of the system clock (6Mz). If I clock it any faster, the chip reports data overrun error. Is there any solution to speed it up? I can jtag an AVR at full speed, so I don't think it's a jtag problem.

Greetings, I am new to JTAG and and I am working on a project that that has an Atmel AVR. I want to be able to use JTAG but have not bought any programming/debugging devices yet. I would like to get something that is compatible with other products that I see myself using in the future such as FPGAs or other microcontroller families. I am on a tight budget and I want to get something tha...

Hi everybody. I am working with a development platform based in the msp430, and I am looking for different programming tools. I tried the JTAG but this is too big. it takes up to 14 pins of space. So I hope that somebody can make a suggestion about other solutions, or other version of JTAG that take up less space.

TI/Luminary LM3S8971. Went to do some upgrades in my startup code, in the function called -- ironically enough -- "escape_hatch", which is the VERY FIRST THING that gets run. It spins on a pressed button so if something downstream like PLL setup or I/O port stuff messes up JTAG, I can still get in with the JTAG debugger and figure out what's happening and program flash and whatnot. ...

What do I need to have to be able to use JTAG for programming the chip if possible? Thank you, -- A
