Hello,
We are designing a board with a TMS570 alongside an Actel FPGA. We have an FTDI that will do the JTAG interface to both of our devices (via the same JTAG chain). Hardware-wise shouldn't be an issue. My question is in regards to continuing to use CCS to develop/debug the TMS. We are guessing that CCS (or the XDS100v2 driver) expects a certain vendor ID from the FTDI chip to know identify the hardware as an xds emulator but we're not sure this is the case. If somebody could confirm/deny/correct this it would be great.
Also, we would like to know of other considerations to take into account to have a functional XDS100v2 emulator on our system.
Thanks

Also, we are not planning on having a CPLD in the system, instead we are taking the route of the TMS570 USB dev board where the JTAG signals go straight into the chip:
