XDS560v2STM with C6657

Genius 5785 points

Hello,

I have a XDS560v2STM. It supports system trace, but  doesn't support core trace. Maybe I'll use system trace. C6657 has EMU[18:0] pins. Which jtag header is better TI 60-pin or CTI 20-pin? What benefit can I have by using 60-pin?

Regards,
Kazu

  • Hello Kazu,

    The XDS560v2 system trace comes with 60-pin header. If you want advance emulation features, you may need to connect all the EMU[18:0] pins between the emulator and target board. Hence you may need to have 60-pin connector on target board as well. The CTI 20-pin connector have the option to connect 5 EMU pins only.

    The below documents would be helpful for you to understand TRACE and its requirements in detail.

  • Hello Senthil,

    Thank you for your information. However your URL is not system trace but trace. I think XDS560v2STM is not supported trace. I also see the following description. What's the difference of using system trace between CTI 20-pin and TI 60-pin? Please give me advice.

    20 pin compact TI connector can be used for System Trace as it has 4 pins for data and 1 pin for clock (EMU0-5).

  • Hello Kazu,

    There are several different JTAG configurations that can be used. To get the maximum benefit from the XDS560v2 emulator, you should fully implement the 60-pin header. This will give the maximum Debug and Trace capability.

    Less capability is available with the smaller connectors with fewer pins like 20-pin header. The XDS560v2 probably comes with several header adapters, so 20-pin header can be chosen, but the 60-pin header is the most powerful choice and will deliver the greatest capability.

    The difference between the 14 pin and 60 pin header is the availability of trace data pins and in turn relates to the amount of data available to be transferred in real-time for trace and analysis while the DSP is running. For more detail on this, you are encouraged to ask on the Code Composer Forum where the emulation experts work.
