Can I load my own firmware into XTAG-3?

[tim-xmos]

I'm starting a new project and I could save a bit of time by testing some stuff on the XTAG-3 hardware.

It looks as if could use one XTAG to load another, though maybe there is a better route. Via DFU?

Is the locked status the key thing? Any ideas?

The xtag3 firmware is closed source. Not clear on why that is but works similar to xtag2. OTP rom boots a ram image supplied by the toolchain to operate.

You could consider to apply your idea onto a xtag2 design:
