Well, I mean just that - some dumb USB-UART/bitbang converter costs like a whole general-purpose MCU (while there're other USB-UART converters which cost much less). > And a complete development module with a FT232H is the same > price as an Arduino Micro.

The original talk was of using something else besides that, and yet there's whole bunch of FT-based JTAG adapters, and I'm not sure they're going to be displaced soon - because they work, and work kinda well. But we digress here. My aim is not to compare different hardware (I don't challenge that some is more suitable for JTAG than other), but to support it all, without placing arguably arbitrary cutovers. > > /Andreas -- Best regards, Paul mailto:[email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
