Hi all,
We are starting a new platform development. We are planning to use WinCE
5.0, and we will like to know what is the most recommended JTAG probe for
real hardware debugging via the microprocessor JTAG interface. We Know the
ARM Multi-ICE and the EPI Majic probe, and they say they are compatible with
the Platform Builder. Do you know what is the best option for debugging a new
implementation? Do you know any other manufacturer of JTAG probes? Do you
think it is OK to use only the kernel debug option ( intrusive debug via
WInCE kernel options )?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards.

Jose Manuel.

ARM Multi-ICE eXDI don't support PB 5.0 but only 4.2

IMHO
the best (and most expensive) choice is Lauterbach
second place to EPI Majic probe.

Best regards
happy new year

We use the EPI Majic and have had great success with it. It is certainly
possible to build systems without it. But that depends entirely on the
quality and flexibility of the BSP provided with the hardware. If you are
starting completely from scratch then there is no better an investment than
an eXDI JTAG debugger. The amount of time and money it will save you is far
exceeds its cost.
