Tks.
No it wouldn't. Those devices do not mimic the normal parallel port. The
only provide a printer port. Even if you try developing a custom driver
for those gadgets, the latency is so great the results are too slow to
be usable. We've went through this a long time ago. A USB JTAG tool
needs to have the intelligence to do the fast interaction with the
target on its own. That's what the TI USB FET tool, and every other USB
development interface too, does.
