Ticket Name: Compiler/TDA2: Advantage and disadvantage using JTAG XDS110 vs XDS560v2 on TDA2 platform and other question.

Query Text:
Part Number: TDA2 Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler Dear TI, i am currently doing some development on this TDA2 EVM board and i am not sure which debugger kit is useful on it. Question 1) i found currently there are 2, XDS110 and XDS560v2 are you able to help to list the advantage over it? so i am able to decided which one to purchase over it. Question 2) is it a must to use the debugger in order to do programming onto the in EVM?

See my post here. It should give you guidance deciding over which jtag to buy. Willson Toh59 said: Question 2) is it a must to use the debugger in order to do programming onto the in EVM? Without Jtag, the CCS leverages and debugging options are very limited. Though, you should be able to use a UART console for example. Thanks, Alex

Hi, In addition to what Alex said I would suggest you to prefer XDS560v2 over XDS100 during development phase due to considerable speed advantage while loading big applications on multiple CPUs. Regards, Rishabh

Dear Rishabh So i other word i can still do the development by using the existing demo project to edit and re-compile and generate the MLO and Applmage and transfer it to the SDcard as well without the JTAG. I am correct?

Hi Wilson, Yes this is correct. But you need JTAG in case you want to single step in order to debug. Regards, Rishabh
