Hardware support for latest ARM-based controllers
The Tanto-ARM in-circuit emulator and debugger now supports the ARM9 series of microcontrollers.
Typical programming times for a 128Kbyte Flash are around 6.5s, making this JTAG-based system six times faster than the usual serial-bootstrap mode.
The tool itself consists of up to 16 intelligent JTAG to OCDS interface units connected to a host PC via an external USB hub.
USB's built-in power supply and wiring make it possible to have such a distributed group.
In the kit there is a DLL library containing all the fundamental Flash functions.
This enables users to develop their own user production programming tool interfaces, or to integrate the programming tool into their own production environments.
For first applications a simple command-line batch program is included to show how the DLL is used.
