Using an IDE and JTAG debugging to develop RLP code

[quote]Yes correct. I know I said you can solder wires to get JTAG and that is easy but I wasn’t thinking of the more info you need after wiring the JTAG

Exactly what info is needed after wiring the JTAG? The schematics for the EMX module are available on the GHI website. And the JTAG connector is available on the EMX dev board (although it appears not to be installed). Is there some firmware difference between the EMX module on the EMX dev board and the Cobra that would prevent JTAG from working?

I am (was?) planning on using RLP to perform high speed I/O (in short bursts) which would require realtime in circuit debugging. It appears that RLP is okay if you are running code that can be debugged and tested on other hardware (such as a strictly arithmetic algorithm). But, in my opinion, RLP is relatively useless on a Cobra for debugging hardware dependant code without access to JTAG :’(
