MIRAGE-NE1 emulator includes compact ExpressCard/34 single-channel universal JTAG/MPSD emulator board and one detachable UniPod
MIRAGE-NE1 emulator board uses host ExpressCard PCI-express I/F and is up to x10 times faster than USB and Ethernet emulators, up to x2 times faster than MicroLAB Systems MIRAGE-NC2 PCMCIA CardBus emulator and PCI-bus emulators, and up to x5 times faster than MicroLAB Systems MIRAGE-NP2 PCMCIA PC-card emulator and all ISA-bus emulators
Upward compatible upgrade for MicroLAB Systems MIRAGE-NC2 PCMCIA CardBus emulator board and MIRAGE-NP2 PCMCIA PC-card emulator board
Installs into notebook and desktop PC with ExpressCard slot
Supports all Texas Instruments (TI) TMS320 DSP including 'C6xxx/'C5xxx/'C2xxx,  'VC33, 'C4x, 'C5x, 'C30/'C31/'C32, OMAP, and DaVinchi, as well as all TI ARM and MSP430 microcontrollers via TI Code Composer Studio and Code Composer debugger tools
Expand to any number of emulator channels
UniPod features ultra-compact (only 53x33x14mm, 2.1"x1.3"x0.6") and ultra-light weight (only 79g, 0.17lb with connection cable) design and supports both JTAG and TI MPSD (‘C3x) target paths, thus eliminating the need to have two different pods to debug different generations of TI DSPs
2 meter (6.6 ft) long ultra-flexible and light weight cable for detachable connection between PCMCIA plug-in emulator board and UniPod
Supports 0.5V .. 5V target JTAG/MPSD power
Programmable 0.5MHz .. 30MHz JTAG source clock
Accurate measurement of target power voltage and JTAG/MPSD path clock frequency for ‘all-in-one’ target DSP device diagnostic
Six LED indicators at UniPod for target status information
High noise immunity

Host PC Support

Plug-and-Play installation
Plugs into the ExpressCard slot of the notebook PC
Installs into the desktop PC via PCIe-to-ExpressCard adapter

DSP Software Debugging Tools

Overview

MIRAGE-NE1 is the next generation and industry first single- channel universal JTAG/MPSD emulator for all TI TMS320 DSP platforms, as well as for all TI ARM and MSP430 microcontrollers, and is designed to install into the host notebook and desktop PC with ExpressCard slots.

MIRAGE-NE1  emulator board uses host ExpressCard PCI-Express I/F and is therefore up to x10 times faster than USB and Ethernet emulators, up to x2 times faster than MicroLAB Systems MIRAGE-NC2 PCMCIA CardBus emulator and PCI-bus emulators, and up to x5 times faster than MicroLAB Systems MIRAGE-NP2 PCMCIA PC-card emulator and all ISA-bus emulator. MIRAGE-NE1  emulator board is an upward compatible upgrade for MicroLAB Systems MIRAGE-NC2 PCMCIA CardBus emulator board and MIRAGE-NP2 PCMCIA PC-card emulator board

Maintaining a leadership in the industry, MIRAGE-Nxx emulators are the first to introduce universal JTAG/MPSD UniPod, which features ultra-compact   and ultra-light weight design (dimensions are 53x33x14mm, 2.1"x1.3"x0.6"; weight is 79g, 0.17lb with connection cable) with ultra-long connection cable (2m, 6.6ft), provides advanced performance, and eliminates the need to have two different JTAG and MPSD ('C3x) pods in order to debug different TI DSP/MC platforms.

MIRAGE-Nxx emulators are the first to integrate a universal JTAG/MPSD emulator with target diagnostic features such as measurement of target power voltage and scan-path clock frequency thus saving the user effort and time in debugging target DSP devices.

 

The industry’s longest 2 meter (6.6 ft) UniPod cable, all-in-one support for JTAG/MPSD target paths, compliance with target 0.5v..5v power voltage, programmable 0.5MHz..30MHz JTAG clock, fast JTAG/MPSD upload/download speed and RTDX, embedded target diagnostic, ultra-compact and ultra-light weight design, and simple Plug-and-Play installation make all MIRAGE-Nxx  emulators an ultimate ‘all-in-one’ emulation and diagnostic tool and ‘must have’ instrument for all DSP hardware and software engineers for both mobile and desktop workstations. With MIRAGE-Nxx emulators you are always done for any TI DSP/MC !

MIRAGE-Nxx emulators are ideal tool for debugging of the modern TI DSP/MC target devices, which feature small size, light weight and low supply voltage, and allow either to maximize performance of target JTAG path or to comply with low power and low speed targets. MIRAGE-Nxx emulators easily expand to any number of emulation channels and are ideal tool to debug multi-DSP/MC and mixed TI DSP/MC systems.

MIRAGE-Nxx emulators run under the industry standard TI Code Composer and Code Composer Studio debugger tools.

MIRAGE-NE1 emulator directly installs into the ExpressCard slot of the notebook PC and can be installed into the  desktop PC using PCIe-to-ExpressCard adapter card available from a variety of vendors.
