DSP emulator connects with Ethernet
The Blackhawk LAN560 is the first of its kind, integrated network device and JTAG emulator, which connects directly to a LAN, WAN or Wi-Fi via a 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet RJ45 connector.
Blackhawk is now shipping the most advanced JTAG emulator for TI TMS320 DSPs The Blackhawk LAN560 is the first of its kind, integrated network device and JTAG emulator, which connects directly to a LAN, WAN or Wi-Fi via a 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet RJ45 connector

IC packaging partnership proves a success
IC packaging leader Advanced Semiconductor Engineering has announced its commitment to Ansoft's HFSS, Q3D Extractor and AnsoftLinks simulation products for IC packaging design and model extraction.
Because of the LAN560's advanced, integrated design, a dedicated PC is not required at the emulators location.
In addition, there are no special installation criteria except for a network visible IP address.
The compact and lightweight LAN560 features a variable TCK (timing clock) running up to 35MHz and includes a flexible 1.7m multivoltage cable/pod assembly.
Power and link activity LEDs have been added to show operational status.
As an added bonus, the LAN560 also includes a USB 2.0-compliant port, which achieves rates up to 480Mbit/s, for increased code download speed.
This gives the user the flexibility to connect the LAN560 locally to a notebook or desktop computer and also configure the IP address for LAN operation.
"The LAN560 shares the same physical dimensions as our USB560", said Andrew Ferrari, Director, Blackhawk Product Development.
"But that's where the similarity ends".
"We are running an internal TCP/IP stack which means the LAN560 is a true network device and not another miniature computer that has a PCI emulator inside", Ferrari explained.
Besides supporting all of the advanced features of XDS560 technology, like high-speed RTDX and advanced event triggering, the LAN560 can also interface to XDS510-class drivers via its USB port, extending compatibility to more TI DSP devices and Code Composer Studio (CCStudio) versions than any other XDS560-class emulator.
The Blackhawk LAN560 JTAG emulator supports TMS320, TMS470 (ARM) and OMAP families and is compatible with the Code Composer Studio Flash-burner utility.
Legacy support for Code Composer v4.1x and the VC33 device is available using the LAN560's integrated high-speed USB 2.0 port.
All Blackhawk emulators are available through a worldwide network of industry resellers.
