I'm getting to work on a PowerPC-based NAS appliance, based around an MPC8241 micro. There appears to be a standard 16-pin COP port on the board. Apparently nobody else in the entire universe has ever used this port, though. I have a (genuine Macraigor! Accept no substitutes!) JTAG wiggler that was originally bought for ARM development, and has the standard 20-pin ARM header. However, the wiggler PCB has (stuffed) connectors for SuperH and also COP, and I'm wondering if I can simply add the appropriate 16-pin ribbon cable and use it on my PowerPC target. One thing that puzzles/concerns me is power for the wiggler. The target is missing its series current-limiting resistor on Vtarget, so I'll have to put something on those pads if the wiggler needs target power. The wiggler PCB has a three-pin jumper strip that appears to have something to do with selecting onboard or target voltage levels on the output buffers. But there is no shorting block on either of those pins (and I know the wiggler works properly, at least on 3.3V ARM targets).
Use Macraigor ARM wiggler on PowerPC?

It works great. I am just now trying out the Macraigor JTAG unit. IN the past I have used VisionICE II and the Metrowerks Jtag units. NOTE not all JTAG interfaces are the same or even have the same signals. The COP interface has a couple of signals for debugging that are not JTAG. You will probably need to contact Macraigor to see if your unit will even work on the PPC target or if you need a different unit. Allan

I am just now trying out the Macraigor JTAGSorry, I didn't say that very well. I mean, nobody seems to be using the COP port on the specific board I have - the connector is not stuffed and nobody in the (English) support forums is using it. They all seem to be teenagers anyway :( The hardware I'm using is the Kuro Box (www.revogear.com). It's basically a NAS appliance they are selling with something vaguely resembling a SDK and some support for people to build custom apps on it.> are not JTAG.

I'll try though.

They say that I can just connect up a cable to the COP header and use the same wiggler for PowerPC. Yippee! :)

Because of COP interface has more signals than arm, i negate QACK, SRESET, HRESET, HALTED and CKSTP_OUT connection and let them alone. When i connects to MPC755, OCDcommander don't prompt error. I rea address, response slowly. It means that the connection has problems. Now i searching some informations about how connect COP to Parallel, bu get no response. who can provide the connection diagram? -> This message was sent using the web interface o www.EmbeddedRelated.com <-
