 October 2009: Early success for Ashling's Opella-XDS560 JTAG Probe for TI
Devices.
Ashling's Opella-XDS560 JTAG probe, launched in Q2 2009, is already proving to be a big hit with Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) developers.
Opella-XDS560 is a high performance JTAG Debug Probe supporting all TI platforms. The product has been successfully verified by TI in India and US.
"Ashling has an established reputation in development tools and we're glad to cooperate with
their development of Opella-XDS560." said Stephen Lau, Product Manager for Emulation
Technology at TI. "We are looking forward to continued close collaboration in the future."
John Murphy, Managing Director of Ashling Microsystems said, "We at Ashling are grateful for the support we have received from TI in bringing this product to market. We are delighted with the
feedback from customers so far and we are now planning to further broaden our support for TI."
Opella-XDS560 works with TI's Code Composer StudioTM (CCStudio) integrated development
environment (IDE) and seamlessly plugs into the CCStudio environment allowing convenient
debugging of application code actually running on the target system.
Features include:
- Support for all TI devices including OMAPTM and digital media processors based on DaVinciTM technology, as well as the TMS320C6000TM and TMS320C5000TM DSP platforms and the TMS320C2000TM MCU and TMS470TM platforms
- Fast, easy-to-install USB 2.0 High-Speed Interface (480Mb/s)

- Target JTAG clock rates from 500 kHz to 50MHz with full support for adaptive clocking (RTCK) of debug data from target
- High-speed Real-Time Data eXchange (RTDX) support (allows rapid data transfer between host and target non-intrusively in real-time). RTDX data rates of over 2MB/s are supported
- Real-time, non-intrusive breakpoints and event triggering
- Code download speeds at over 500KB/s
- 14-pin and 20-pin (compact TI) JTAG target connectors supported
- Front-panel LEDs show Power, USB and Target status
