XDS200

Charlie,

I think most of the quesitons are actually covered on that page, but you have to read between the lines perhaps.

1) Differences:   Most noticable is speed.

    Also:

      - You can use CCS for free (beer) with the XDS100.   With the XDS200 you need to purchase a license

      - The sources for the 200 are only available to TI emulation partners,  you can't build your own like the 100.

      - Ethernet is available on some 200 models, not just USB like the 100

2) Trace isn't listed / it's not supported at least for Hercules.   We do have some products at TI that have embedded trace buffers (on chip) and 200 may or may not support them -- I don't know the answer.  [That might be a good quesiton to add to the wiki page].     

For tracing a Hercules part you need an emulator that supports ARM's ETM trace.  (Note that the 560v2-STM doesn't support ETM trace).   You'd need to go to a vendor like Lauterbach or I-Systems to get trace for Hercules.   You might also find support from Arium, Signum, or Segger who support ETM trace in general;  but I don't know if they've confirmed they support Hercules products or not.

3) Do you mean does it use on-chip peripheral resources for *debug*?   No these are all JTAG probes.

Best Regards,

Anthony

Does J-Link EDU support Hercules RM57L now?

However, J-Link support under CCS 6.1 is considered experimental. See the warning on https://www.segger.com/ti-code-composer-studio.html. There have been reports of CCS 6.1 crashing when used with J-Link on some targets.
