ABATRON BDI300 JTAG Debugger
 Super Fast interfaces

Silicon manufacturers offer more and more on-chip debugging features with new processors. This capability, implemented in various processors under such names as Background Debug Mode (BDM), JTAG and on-chip emulation, puts basic debugging functions on the chip itself. With BDM or JTAG debug port, you can control and monitor the microprocessor through these on-chip debugging services. This debugging mode runs even when the target system crashes and enables developers to continue investigating the cause of the crash. You won't waste time and target resources with a software ROM monitor, and you eliminate the cabling problems typical of ICEs.

The Abatron BDM/JTAG interfaces range from the low cost BDI1000 to the ultra fast BDI3000 which was launched in Jan 2008.

The BDI3000 features a 10/100 Ethernet link and a maximum JTAG link speed of 32MHz making it possible to load code for debugging at up to 1.5MBytes/sec.  Target voltages of 1.2-5V are supported as are variable clock speeds.

These devices can be used to solve a wide range of development needs-

Using the GCC compiler ? then they will run with the GNU Debugger

Using the Debugger that is supplied with your compiler ? they run with:- 
CodeWarrior,  IAR,  X-Ray, Accelerated Technology,  Tornado,  SeeCode,   ARM ADW/AXD

Just want to program on chip or external Flash ?

Need to use the BDM/JTAG interface as part of your ATE process and to write your own C drivers

Max. Download Rates via Telnet/TFTP (depends on debugger used and on CPU speed - absence from a column means that the board was not available for testing - not that an interface cannot drive that chip)

Maximum flash programming speed
