I mean that it is really pretty easy to make a new PCB with a new MCU when something compelling becomes available. If that is even needed.. Over the last few years it has become very common to find MCU development boards which cost less than many if not most existing JTAG products, and can do the job just as well if not better. Of course a €13 Cortex-M3 board can not compete with the FPGA in a ZY1000, but since about half a year the Open Logic Sniffer board with a crappy USB PIC and a small Spartan-3E has been available including worldwide shipping for $45. It could certainly be used to do pretty snappy JTAG. //Peter _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
