The TMS570LS12x Hercules Development Kit (HDK) is ideal for evaluating and starting development with the Hercules platform of safety microcontrollers. The kit is comprised of a development board, a DC power supply, a mini-B USB cable, and Ethernet cable and a software installation DVD. The development board features an on board XDS100v2 JTAG emulator along with access to several key communication and peripheral interfaces. The HDK features: • 337p BGA TMS570LS1227 MCU, on board • On Board USB XDS100v2 JTAG • On Board SCI to USB Serial • 20pin ARM and MIPI JTAG connectors • 8 White NHET LEDs • 8MB SDRAM (EMIF) • Ambient light and temp sensor • 2 CAN transceivers • 1 RJ-45 ethernet port • 1 Micro SD card slot (SPI mode) More information specific to the TMS570LS12x Hercules MCU family can be found on the.

Measurement 2000-08-19 - - Posted by: Jeff Frohwein It is a 32 Channel, 40Mhz, fully PC controlled TTL/CMOS logic analyser with internal/external triggering and trigger delay. Internal triggering is fully maskable (High/Low/Don't Care) on all 32 channels. The whole things fits on one single sided PCB with virtually no wiring.

The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial communication interface. The timing diagram is shown to the right. The example is written in the C programming language. Although there are some similarities between the SPI bus and the JTAG (IEEE 1149.1-2013) protocol, they are not interchangeable.

I used these in order to come up with this circuit. It can only program 5V only memory so it can't program EPROMs or some EEPROMS.

It's designed to be simple & inexpensive rather than a program-everything circuit. Why use EPROMs anyway? You need special equipment to erase them and it takes 20 minutes to do it.
