Ashling's Opella-XDS560 JTAG Debug Probe, supplied and supported by Arcadi Systems, is the fastest-available debug probe for embedded development on Texas Instruments (TI) Digital Signal Processors and embedded microcontrollers
Opella-XDS560 is designed to work with TI’s Code Composer Studio™ (CCStudio™) IDE and seamlessly plugs into the CCStudio environment. You can conveniently and quickly debug your application code actually running on your target system. Opella-XDS560 provides full support for all CCStudio hardware-debug features including program download, breakpoints, memory and register access and source-level program control (go, halt, step).
Advanced features of Opella-XDS560
include:
- Fast, easy-to-install USB 2.0 High-Speed Interface (480Mb/s)
- Support for all TI device families, including OMAP™, DaVinci™, TMS320C6000™, TMS320C5000™, TMS320C2000™ and TMS470™
- Wide target voltage range: 0.5V to 5.0V. Opella-XDS560 detects and automatically configures for the appropriate target voltage
- Real-time, non-intrusive breakpoints and event triggering
- Code download speeds at over 500KB/s (using high-speed USB2.0)
- High-speed Real-Time Data eXchange (RTDX) support (allows rapid data transfer between host and target non-intrusively in real-time). RTDX data rates of over 2MB/s are supported.
- Target JTAG clock rates from 500 kHz to 35MHz with full support for adaptive clocking (RTCK) of debug data from target
- 14-pin and 20-pin (compact TI) JTAG target connectors supported
- Front-panel LEDs show Power, USB and Target status
- Full support for TI’s DBGJTAG low-level JTAG test utility (supplied with CCStudio)

The compact and powerful Opella-XDS560 unit provides the JTAG hardware interface between TI's Code Composer Studio™ IDE and Source-Level Debugger, and your target TI application.
Benefits of Opella-XD560 to the Texas Instruments hardware developer include:
- Accelerates the entire embedded-hardware debug process: ultra-fast installation, code download and flash programming saves time at every code rebuild
- 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
- Seamlessly integrates with Texas Instruments' Code Composer Studio™ Integrated Development Environmenmt and Source-level debugger
Opella-XD Debug Probe Specification:
