JTAG interfaces for TriMedia software development

>>>> SPECIAL PROMO PRICE (PCI Bus Version Only): $1995

MDS offers two JTAG interfaces for development of software for stand-alone systems using NXP Semiconductors TriMedia/Nexperia processors:

  • PCI JTAG
  • USB JTAG

Both support PNX0190, PNX1500, andPNX1700 processor families. The PCI-JTAG additionally supports the PNX1300 processor (the USB JTAG does not support PNX1300).

NOTE: For early adopters of the new NXP PNX1005 chip: The USB-JTAG does not currently support the PNX1005 -- you should use the PCI-JTAG instead.

Download, run, and debug your TriMedia/Nexperia code using the dvpMon and tmdbg GUI tools contained in the NXP Semiconductors NDK. The Included JCON/MJCON tools offer command-line download/run with attached stdout console for in-field diagnostic capability of your stand-alone system.

Program boot eeprom devices in-place on the target board using boundary-scan capability of TriMedia/Nexperia chip (JPGM software included).

Use to put programs into flash memory on your target board or system.

More information can be found on the datasheet.

NOTE: These interfaces use a standard JTAG connection to the target system, but they are not intended for use as general purpose JTAG analysis/control tools. These interfaces are designed to operate within the context of the NDK/TCS toolset. Specifically, boundary-scan operations are limited to those used by the tools. Operation as complete boundary scan analysis/control JTAG devices would require additional software and is not supported as part of the standard products.

 

PCI based card offers highest overall performance

USB HS 2.0 version does not require a PCI slot, and offers
convenience and fast code download speeds.

Development tools

To do software development for standalone platforms, you need the following software in addition to the JTAG interface:

  • NDK (Nexperia Development Kit) -- The NXP Semiconductors compiler/linker tools and download/debug tools for pnx1500 and pnx1700 processor families..
  • Optional MPTK add-on libraries -- Contains software components including audio and video codecs, networking, media browsers, etc.
