USB Simplifies JTAG/BDM Debug

Oct. 18, 2004

The usb2Demon JTAG/BDM (Background Debug Mode) emulator from Macraigor Systems can clock 32- and 64-bit targets at speeds up to 24 MHz. This takes advantage of the usb2Demon's USB 2.0 connection. The emulator can handle a wide range of target ports, including JTAG, OnCE, and BDM. The system supports Windows, Linux, and Solaris hosts. The usb2Demon application programming interface (API) is compatible with a wide range of debuggers, including the GNU GDB debugger. The usb2Demon also works with Macraigor's free diagnostic tools available at the company's Web site, such as the Linux- or Windows-based OCD Commander debugger. The usb2Demon costs $750.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
