CCS/AM3359: Recommended JTAG emulators

What is the minimum requirement for debug probes to program and debug the BeagleBoneBlack ?

Is it possible to use the XDS110 that comes on some launch pads ( MSP-EXP432P4111) ?

If yes, why would it be desirable to purchase a XDS200 ?

Thanks and regards

Peter,

There are no minimum requirements to perform JTAG debugging on the BeagleBone Black - in the past the popular XDS100v2 was widely used (although it is quite slow) and nowadays you can use either the XDS110 or a XDS200 to perform this task, even the built-in debugger on the launchpads.

A performance comparison can be seen at:

However, always keep in mind the connection cannot be too long and the pinout must be carefully followed, otherwise you may have performance and reliability issues.

If you haven't done so, check the thread below with some references about adding the appropriate connector and the HW pinout.

Hope this helps,
Rafael

Hi Rafael
Thanks,
In fact , the built-in debugger on MSP432P4111 that I own would be the prefered pod for the moment in order to get started.
I am unsure about the cabling, though and I posted a separate question for this: how to connect the Cortex M 10 pin JTAG header on the launchpad pod to the 20 pin ARM JTAG header. ? The above links you mentioned don't use the launchpad pods.

Thanks
Peter

Peter,

According to your other thread, it seems that this thread is also answered, is that so?
