Using 3rd party JTAG tool instead of XTAG3 on XCORE-200

[TinLethax]

Hello,

I accidentally came across XMOS while researching about USB UVC. I took a look further and found the XCORE-200 to be interesting and I want to give it a try. I've been eyeing on the XU208-128 (QFN 48 package) to build a teeny tiny dev board with USB-C, QSPI on-board, some LEDs and buttons and pin headers broken out to use and test.

After reading the data sheet about the xSYS, I know that if using a regular JTAG (that lack the xCONNECT) can program the SPI flash but can't use the fast print and xSCOPE feature. Does the XTC tools support debugging the xcore with the 3rd party JTAG such as FTDI Or I have to use the xTAG3 if I want to debug via XTC tools?

Hi,

Yes the XTC tools only support the XMOS XTAGs.

Probably best to start with xcore.ai if starting a new design over xcore-200.

Cheers,
