JTAG CoreCommander
CoreCommander routines take control of key processor core (e.g. ARM, PPC, X-scale, Cortex etc.) functions using the built-in emulation/debug functions found in today’s RISC and DSP cores. They have been developed to speed-up board testing and debug by enabling kernel-centric testing.
CoreCommander offer two modes of operation:
- Interactive – offering direct control of the core or;
- Python embedded – where controls can be scripted into a complete program.
JTAG Live Buzz is automatically included for free with this product.
Features
- JTAG control of µprocessors, and DSPs via core debug access
- Most popular cores supported
- Create cluster tests and flash applications
This product is available in our JTAG Live Shop.
- Overcomes deficiencies in boundary-scan registers
- Works with devices not compliant to IEEE std 1149.x
- Most popular processor cores supported (ARM PPC etc.)
- Code compatible with Python for test scripting
- Low-cost compared to other solutions.
- Supported by JTAG Technologies, JTAG Live and FTDI based controllers/interfaces
- Simple to use interactive GUI to perform core writes/reads
- Functions include ‘EnterDebug’, ‘ExitDebug’, ‘LoadMemory’, ‘SaveMemory’, ‘WritePC’, ‘ReadPC’
- Compatible with Python open-source scripting language.
- Works in tandem with JTAG Live Script – boundary-scan routines.
CoreCommander routines can be used to boost test coverage in applications that have only a small amount or even no IEEE std 1149.1 (conventional boundary-scan) test access options. By taking hold directly of the target processor’s core the user can write to or read from configuration registers and internal or external memory spaces.
