RONETIX’s JTAG/BDM Emulator and Flash Programmer supports also Cortex-M3 and Cortex-A8.

Dec. 9, 2008 - PRLog -- Vienna, Austria – Ronetix today announced the availability of the new firmware of its high speed, low cost JTAG/BDM Emulator and Flash Programmer. The new firmware adds support of debugging and FLASH programming of Cortex-M3 and Cortex-A8 families from ARM.

Now PEEDI can be used for high speed GNU gdb debugging and Flash Programming of all ARM7, ARM9, ARM11, Cortex-M3, Cortex-A8, XScale, Freescale Nexus enabled PowerPC MPC55XX, MPC83XX, ColdFire and Blackfin based CPUs.

Because of its built-in GNU gdb support, PEEDI can be used with any GNU gdb based debugger (like Insight, Eclipse) without any additional software which makes PEEDI host operating system independent.

The built-in Flash Programmer of PEEDI supports programming of over 900 NOR Flash devices and 8-bit and 16-bit NAND Flash devices connected to the CPU via the JTAG interface.
PEEDI supports also the programming of the internal Flash memory of the ST STM32 and Luminary Micro LM3S families.

PEEDI offers various methods for ECC calculating including bad block management and clean markers: hardware ECC using the OMAP3 NAND Flash controller, standard software ECC for JFFS2, ECC for YAFFS2 and more.

PEEDI supports several flash profiles, which enables the programming of a complete Linux system at once: U-BOOT, Linux Kernel and JFFS2 root file system.

Among the advantages of PEEDI are:

-   Multi core support - up to 4 cores
-   Built-in support for gdb (remote target via Ethernet).
-   Very high real download speed – up to 1.25 Mbytes/s.
-   5 kHz – 33MHz JTAG/BDM clock using 35cm standard cable.
-   Automatic measuring and compensating of delays in the JTAG signals
-   Target Voltage 1.2V – 5V.
-   Built-in telnet command line interface.
-   Built-in very fast Flash programmer that supports over 900 Flash devices.
-   Can be used as a standalone Flash Programmer, up to 15 images can be stored on MMC/SD card, controlled by front panel interface.
-   Small robust aluminum case.
-   DCC over TCP support.
