What is real-time emulator?
To realize the hardware real-time communication channel between the debugger and the target CPU, we must define the hardware interface on both the PC and the target DSP. TI’s DSP uses JTAG (EJTAG) as hardware debug interface. PC hardware interface is usually PCI, USB , EPP, PCMCIA, or Ethernet. The examples of real-time emulators are TI’s XDS560 and Wintech’s TDS560. TI’s XDS510 and Wintech’s TDS510 are semi-real-time emulator (510 does not support AET, see discussion below).
