Can I use the ISA3 (for EM35x) with EM250 / EM260 chips? What about the original ISA and EM35x chips?
Categories:
As the interfaces and pinouts and protocols are quite different between
the EM2xx chipset (which uses the 16-bit XAP2b architecture and the proprietary SIF debug/programming protocol from CCL) and the EM3xx chipset (which uses the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 architecture and the more standardized JTAG and SerialWire debug/programming protocols), there’s no compatibility (in either direction) between the development tools from one
platform and the devices/chips from the other platform.
Currently, the ISA3 (EM3xx-era ISA) is the only device that can be used to program
EM3xx chips, and the ISA [EM2xx-eras] and USBLink are the only devices that can
program EM2xx chips (with the exception of some socketed gang
programmers out there from third parties).
