- Instantly auto-configures to target system
- Long-term investment: works with all popular target architectures and compilers
- Helps with the most difficult debugging tasks: hardware bring-up, operating-system boot, post-mortem debugging
- Future-proof: works with latest hardware-debug protocols, all popular host operating-systems
- Compact, easy-to-install target probe cables support all popular debug interfaces
- Available software options include PathFinder Source Debugger and GDB-MIPS-Server drivers, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Compilers and third-party debuggers
Opella-XD Debug Probe Specification:
- High-speed USB2.0 (480Mb/s) interface to host PC or Linux (x86) workstation
- Target JTAG clock rates up to 100MHz
- Auto-conditioning for fast EJTAG clock frequencies
- Sustained code download to target at over 3MB/s (using 100MHzE JTAG clock)
- Configurable Target-Reset and Test-Port-Reset, under full user control
- Fine-grained adjustment of JTAG clock frequency from 1KHz to 100MHz
- Supports target operating voltages from 0.9V to 3.6V. Opella-XD detects and automatically configures for the appropriate target voltage.
- Run/stop control of target application including go, halt, step-over, step-into and step-out-of
- Supports RTCK adaptive clocking of debug data from target (EJTAG 4.10)
- "Hot-plug" support; allows connection to a running target without resetting or halting
- Fully powered by USB interface; no external power-supply needed
- Support for all on-chip hardware breakpoints; unlimited number of software breakpoints
- Big-endian and little-endian target architectures supported
- Full support for MIPS16™/MIPS16e™ code compression
PathFinder-MIPS Source Debugger:
PathFinder-MIPS is Ashling's Source-level Debugger for MIPS™-core devices, with multiple user-configurable windows and intuitive operation. Target flash programming support for a broad range of devices is also provided.
PathFinder-MIPS supports all popular MIPS™ C/C++ compilers, including GNU GCC, Green Hills Software, Wind River and all other ELF/DWARF-compliant compilers.
GDB-Server-MIPS Drivers:
Ashling's GDB-Server-MIPS software package, allows Ashling’s Target Debug Probes to be used with the GNU GDB MIPS open-source debugger. The Ashling GNU GDB Server is available for Windows and Linux (x86-based) hosts and supports GNU GDB and all Eclipse CDT-based debuggers, including MontaVista Devrocket.Broad Device Support:
All popular MIPS™ cores are supported, including MIPS324Kp, MIPS324Km, MIPS324Kd, MIPS324KEp, MIPS324KEm, MIPS324KEc, MIPS324KS, MIPS32M4K. Specific support is provided for a wide variety of MIPS licensees, including ATI, Genesis, Microchip, NEC, NXP and RMI.
