Compare Emulators

Blackhawk has a broad range of emulator models that span the full spectrum of capabilities and price. From the entry level XDS100v2 and affordable USB2000 Controller to the most advanced XDS560v2 System Trace. All Blackhawk Emulators are backed by solid support and continual software updates to ensure compatibility with the latest Texas Instruments Devices and Platforms.

Listed below are detailed comparisons of the Blackhawk JTAG Emulators organized by emulation class (XDS100, XDS510, XDS560 and XDS560v2).  Additional details and differences between emulators and emulation technologies can be found here on the Texas Instruments Emulation Wiki Page.

XDS100v2 Emulator Feature Comparison Matrix

The following matrix highlights various features of each Blackhawk XDS100v2 emulator model. The XDS100v2 models are identical in hardware and Code Composer Studio Device support. The main difference is the included/optional target connections.

For example, if your target board has an ARM 20-pin multi-ICE connection, both models will work with your target board, however the BH-USB-100v2D model will require an additional pin converter while the BH-USB-100v2-ARM model will not. See the feature below on target connections.
