Intel applies on-chip debug solution
OCDemon, the industry-leading on-chip debug technology, has been selected for Intel's IQ80315 software development and processor evaluation kit and is also available for the IOP331 I/O processor.
Easy interfacing for compact debugger
The usbSprite is billed as the first full-speed mini Universal Serial Bus (USB) device for JTAG (IEEE1149.1) or BDM (background debug mode).
The usb2Demon and usb2Sprite devices are identical in functionality, but differ in speed to provide embedded developers with flexibility in choosing an appropriate price/performance ratio for their projects.
usb2Demon is the high-speed version of the product.
With pricing set at US $750, this device matches the price of Macraigor's popular Raven parallel JTAG interface while providing a significant download speed improvement (see table below for sample download speed comparisons).
usb2Sprite is a low-cost, slower version of the device for price-sensitive projects or situations where maximum download speed is not an issue.
Pricing for usb2Sprite has been set at US $210.
Both new devices support Windows and Linux hosts and are fully compatible with all of Macraigor's software tools, including the Flash Programmer, J-Scan suite of JTAG hardware debug tools and the free, low-level OCD Commander debugger and prebuilt Gnu tools suite.
Macraigor's OCDemon family of products offers the industry's most advanced yet price-sensitive solution for designing, debugging and programming embedded hardware and application software.
Macraigor's debugging solutions include a broad range of hardware interface devices and application programs.
These provide embedded systems engineers with a high degree of flexibility in selecting a host interface and an appropriate price/performance ratio for their embedded projects.
Macraigor hardware debug devices are available with parallel, serial, USB or Ethernet connectivity to both Windows and Linux host machines.
Debug application programs are available to support an embedded project through the entire development cycle, from troubleshooting a prototype hardware design to writing and debugging boot code, programming in-circuit Flash devices, developing application-level software, and supporting manufacturing burn-in and testing.
