RVI has the following target hardware requirements:
A device interface conforming to the IEEE Std. 1149.1-2001 (JTAG) specification.
Electronic signals available to the interface, and within the limits of design-specific current and voltage ranges.
One of the following Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) box headers on the target hardware:
a 20-way header that conforms to the current ARM® JTAG connection standard
a 14-way header that conforms to the previous ARM JTAG connection standard (as used by the ARM EmbeddedICE® run control unit)
a 14-way TI adaptor.
To use any other connectors, you must construct an appropriate adaptor or cable yourself.
A maximum cable length between the target hardware and the RVI unit of:
30cm if you are using a 20-way ribbon cable
3m if you are using a 40-way ribbon cable with the supplied Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) probe.
One or more ARM architecture CPUs that has supporting debug logic linked into a scan chain or behind a Debug Access Port (DAP). This includes most ARM7, ARM9, ARM10 and ARM11 processor families. It does not include the StrongARM® and XScale processors.
You can use the installed Update utility to find out which processors are supported by the version of RVI that you are using. To do this, start the Update utility and select Version Info... from the RVI menu.
