Overview
CodeWarrior TAP enables Freescale target
system debugging via a standard debug
port (usually JTAG) while connected to a
developer’s workstation via Ethernet or USB.
CodeWarrior TAP may also be referred to by
industry-standard terms such as probe, JTAG
probe, JTAG emulator or target probe.
Using CodeWarrior TAP’s Ethernet
connection, developers can debug systems
remotely or more effectively share a single
system with multiple developers. When a
shared system is not needed, CodeWarrior
TAP connects directly to the developer’s
workstation with a single USB cable. Power is
supplied by the USB port so that no additional
cables are needed.
CodeWarrior TAP is designed to work in
conjunction with CodeWarrior development
tools and Freescale processors. It is a critical
debug tool in all phases of the project and
is necessary for debugging systems prior to
running a fully debugged operating system.
Features
• Allows either USB or Ethernet (10/100)
host connection for the developer
workstation
• USB powered, even when using Ethernet
• Low-cost removable probe tips sold
separately
• Supports debugging via JTAG interface
• Automatically supports system voltage
levels from 1.2 to 3.3
• Supports all available core speeds
and voltages for supported Freescale
processors
• As a convenience feature, CodeWarrior
TAP can connect to a target system’s
serial port allowing telnet access to a
remotely located system and control of the
u-boot program
• In conjunction with the CodeWarrior
development system, CodeWarrior TAP:
Programs system flash memory during
debug and development phases of
the project, including most popular
flash memories, but specifically all
flash memories used with Freescale
development systems
Controls the target development system
even when the system may have
crashed during development
Offers complete system visibility and
control, including reading/writing of CPU
registers, memory mapped registers,
block reading/writing of memories,
single step debugging, setting software
and hardware breakpoints, and
monitoring target system status
Gives control over the target system
execution, including control of one or all
cores and resets
