The programmer can be operated under PC control during development and for project configuration / uploading using the EQTools Toolsuite. For field / production applications the unit is designed to operate in `Standalone Mode'. A `Programming Project' can be recalled from the onboard non-volatile FLASH memory and programmed into a Target System by pressing a single key. All the popular ISP headers are catered for including the new JTAG ISP Port required for fast programming of the Atmel ATmega AVR and AT91SAM7 families. The 'ATmega AVR JTAG' License Upgrade for Equinox ISP Programmers supports high-speed InSystem Programming (ISP) of Atmel ATmega AVR Microcontrollers via their on-chip JTAG port. The JTAG algorithm yields much faster programming times (3 - 4 times faster) than the traditional SPI algorithm due to an enhanced protocol and higher bus speed. It is also possible to program multiple AVR microcontrollers which are part of a JTAG Chain on the same Target System using the JTAG algorithm. Ideal programmer for development, field service and production applications Features Supports PC Controlled and Standalone Programming Main features of Epsilon5 MKII Controlled / configured by Equinox EQTools Software Supports all popular ISP Headers to connect to the Target System Main Features of JTAG Upgrade Advantages of JTAG Programming JTAG connections (Single JTAG Device) JTAG Chain Programming Support ISP Header Pin-out Device Support Product Information Product: EPSILON5 MKII Portable ISP Programmer and Atmel Atmega AVR JTAG Upgrade bundle Manufacturer: Equinox Technologies Order Code: Equinox: EPS-AVRJTAG-BUNDLE 483-1016-ND Availability: 101 in stock Price: 199.95 (GBP) [Excl.

The programming time using JTAG for the EEPROM is significantly faster than the SPI algorithm The JTAG algorithm uses the same `JTAG Port' as the Atmel JTAG-ICE Debugger. In JTAG mode is it possible to change the `Clock Selection Fuses' to any value and still program the chip. (with the exception of the `JTAGEN' Fuse) It is possible to daisy-chain multiple JTAG devices on the JTAG bus in a so-called `JTAG Chain' and then select to program a particular device in the chain. This functionality is now supported by Equinox programmers running firmware 3.07 and above. 13 January 2009: Cost-effective programmer 'Bundles' available - Epsilon5 & FS2009 >> Product Upgrades View All ASCII Text Communications (ATC) Serial Control Protocol for Equinox Programmers >> JTAG connections (Single JTAG Device) Atmel AT91SAM7 ARM7 JTAG Device Library Licence Overview >> ConsoleEDS - Overview >> EQTools Script Builder License Upgrades >> ISP-PRO Upgrades >> JTAG In-System Programming (ISP) Support for Atmel ATmega AVR Microcontrollers >> LabView Control License Upgrades >> z z z Supports high-speed JTAG programming of a single Atmel AVR microcontroller Uses only 4 x JTAG pins + control of the AVR RESET pin Uses the same JTAG port pins as used by the Atmel JTAG ICE debugger Remote Application Control of Equinox Programmers - Overview >> JTAG Chain Programming Support http://www.equinox-tech.com/products/details.asp?ID=1321 24xxx - Serial I2C EEPROM Memory Device Library Overview >> 2/4/2009 Equinox Products Page - EPSILON5 MKII - Portable ISP Programmer and Atmel Atmega AVR JTAG Upgrade...
