The Blackhawk XDS560v2 System Trace Emulator (BH560v2) is based on the new XDS560v2 system trace reference design (XDS560v2) from Texas Instruments. The XDS560v2 design is the next-generation of the high-performance XDS560-class technology first made available by Blackhawk with the USB560/LAN560 and XDS560 Trace.

The XDS560v2 design includes both high-speed USB 2.0 and 10/100Mbit Ethernet host interfaces, multi-color state and activity LEDs and a flexible, ribbon-ized coax JTAG cable. Along with traditional JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) the XDS560v2 adds support for IEEE 1149.7 (previously known as cJTAG) and system trace (STM), an interface on the TI heterogeneous multi-core (ARM + DSP) devices. If you are familiar with the Blackhawk USB560 or LAN560 products, you will already be familiar with this new emulator design.

As with our LAN560 product, the Ethernet connection of the BH560v2 allows developers share access to target boards without the need of another computer.  Migrating from a LAN560 to the Blackhawk XDS560v2 is easy.

The System Trace capability is compliant to MIPI STP.  For those that are not familiar, MIPI STP expands to Mobile Industry Processor Interface System Trace Protocol.  See www.mipi.org for more details.  Access to this capability is provided by TI CTools enabled devices for debug and optimization of multi-core processors.  This helps users look at the synchronization and timing between cores and on-chip peripherals in their application.  For more information on the CTools, please refer to the TI Wiki site at: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CTools.

The BH560v2 meets all of the TI reference design features and requirements and extends (improves) capabilities by offering the Enhanced Features listed below.

Blackhawk Enhanced Features

The following are additional, enhanced  features offered by Blackhawk, which are not part of the standard TI reference design.
