Download the PDF of this article. These days, hardware debug interfaces like the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) IEEE 1149.1 standard are ubiquitous. You can find them on many microcontroller and ...

We don’t always JTAG, but when we do, we use a Black Magic Probe. It’s a completely open ARM-chip debugging powerhouse. If you program the small ARM chips and you don’t have a BMP, you need a BMP.

Several processor vendors have extended JTAG software debug, often to make it faster, or to add hardware trace capabilities. The NEXUS consortium for example defines an auxiliary port containing a ...

Microchip Technology has introduced the MPLAB PICkit Basic, an affordable and versatile in-circuit debugger designed to simplify programming and debugging for engineers, hobbyists, and students. The ...

Part two explains the workings of the JTAG boundary-scan technology. Part four explains how to use breakpoints, event triggers, and program traces to debug code. Emulation is a technology used in the ...

Tap-Hat is a multi-purpose JTAG debugger board for those developing software to run on Raspberry Pi: RTOSs, Linux and bare-metal code in particular. Photo of prototype As well as this, the board can ...

With each turn of Moore's Law, designers at every phase in the development process are challenged with new levels of complexity. Chip designers must not only get the integrated circuit (IC) logic, ...

[Surya Chilukuri] writes in to share JTAGprobe — a fork of the official Raspberry Pi debugprobe firmware that lets you use the low-cost microcontroller development board for JTAG and SWD debugging ...

Electronic enthusiasts and Raspberry Pi users may be interested in a new JTAG debugger board called Tap-Hat which has been created by the team at eCosCentric. The TAP-HAT has been designed to provide ...
