The ICEbear adapter in conjunction with libbfemu, gdbproxy and the GNU toolchain (binutils, gdb, gcc) is a cost effective development tool for Blackfin hardware platforms. It is produced and supported by Martin Strubel (Section5).
Based on a USB 2.0 (1.1 compatible) connection to the host PC, it 'outsources' all the JTAG signal generation to a dedicated JTAG controller, yielding improved timing and signal integrity compared to a classic parallel port connector. |
Supported CPUs (in brackets: CPU types that are compatible, but not tested):
* ADSP-BF533 (BF531, BF532)
* ADSP-BF537 (BF536)
* ADSP-BF561 dual core support under development
Tested platforms:
* CM-BF533 from Bluetechnix
* CM-BF537 from Bluetechnix
* ADSP-BF533 EZKIT Lite
* ADSP-BF537 EZKIT Lite
* STAMP BF533
The ICEbear should basically work on all platforms with ADI compatible JTAG connectors that are designed according to Analog Devices' application note EE-68.
Note that the ICEbear is not supported by Visual DSP!
