Abatron's high speed GDB JTAG/SW-DP Interface supports the latest ARM CORTEX chips
such as the TI OMAP 34xx, the STM32, LPC1700 and Luminary Micros LM3S families.

 The Cyclone family of debuggers and programmers that operate with the
Freescale HC08/12/S12/ColdFire/PPC5xx-8xx/Nexus/MAC7xxx ARM
have now been enhanced with utilities that allow multiple Cyclones to be
driven from one PC - making them even more useful for production programming.
Also available is the ability to store and program images from a Compact Flash card.

 PROMJet is a new range of ROM Emulators with a fast USB interface and available with
memories up to 32Mbytes for use emulating EPROMS, EEPROMS, SPI and LPC memories
in all popular chip formats and for busses up to 128 bits wide.

 USB3 is on its way and to test its 5 Gb/sec Super Speed mode you will need the Ellisys 280 Analyser
Also available are a message generator and a USB Compliance Suite.
