Opella-XD for MIPS

Ultra-high-speed EJTAG Debug Probe

Advanced features of Opella-XD include:

Fast, easy-to-install USB 2.0 High-Speed Interface (480Mb)
Supports all popular hardware debug protocols
Unique Auto-conditioning Probe provides maximum possible download speed to target with fastest JTAG clock frequencies
Hot-plug support allows post-mortem debugging
Fast, trouble-free Plug-and-Play installation
Small, versatile Target Probe Cable fits on any target board
Fast in-target Flash Programming
Supports latest EJTAG 4.10 MIPS^TM debug protocol
Wide target voltage range: 0.9V to 3.6V
Versatile Target-Reset and Test-Port-Reset support
Works with Windows and Linux hosts
Built-in diagnostics instantly show status of Target, Debug Probe and USB link
Universal Hardware-Debug platform for all popular target architectures and compilers

Ashling's Opella-XD EJTAG Debug Probe is the fastest available debug probe for embedded development on MIPS^TM RISC cores.

Benefits of Opella-XD to the embedded hardware developer:

Accelerates the entire embedded-hardware debug process: ultra-fast installation, code download and flash programming saves time at every code rebuild
Instantly autoconfigures to target system
Long-term investment: works with all popular target architectures and compilers
Helps with the most difficult debugging tasks: hardware bring-up, operating-system booting, post-mortem debugging
Future-proof: works with latest hardware-debug protocols, all popular host operating-systems
Compact, easy-to-install target probe cables support all popular debug interfaces

Opella-XD Probe Specification:

High-speed USB2.0 (480Mb/s) interface to host PC or Linux workstation
Target EJTAG clock rates up to 100MHz
Auto-conditioning for fast EJTAG clock frequencies
Sustained code download to target at over 3MB/s (using 100MHz EJTAG clock)
Supports all MIPS^TM hardware-debug standards: EJTAG 4.10, 3.10, 2.6x, 2.5x, 2.0x and 1.5x
14-way or 20-way IDC target EJTAG connectors
Configurable Target-Reset and Test-Port-Reset, under full user control
Fine-grained adjustment of JTAG clock frequency from 1KHz to 100MHz
Supports target operating voltages from 0.9V to 3.6V. Opella-XD detects and automatically configures for the appropriate target voltage
Supports RTCK adaptive clocking of debug data from target (EJTAG 4.10)
"Hot-plug" support; allows connection to a running target without resetting or halting
Fully powered by USB interface; no external power-supply needed
Support for all on-chip hardware breakpoints; unlimited number of software breakpoints
Big-endian and little-endian target architectures supported
Full support for MIPS16^TM/MIPS16e^TMcode compression

Compiler Support:

All popular MIPS^TM C/C++ compilers are supported including GNU GCC, Green Hills Software and WRS/Diab Data and all other ELF/DWARF compliant compilers. See the separate PF-MIPS-XD datasheet.

GDB-Server-MIPS:

Ashling's GDB-Server-MIPS software package allows Ashling's Target Debug Probes to be used with the GNU GDB open-source debugger. The Ashling GNU GDB Server is available for Windows and Linux (x86 based) hosts and supports GNU GDB and all Eclipse CDT based debuggers (e.g. MontaVista Devrocket).
