Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the 60-Pin Header and the Standard 14-Pin Header? Do I lose any capabilities with the 60-Pin Header?
- Effecively, the 60-Pin header is a superset of the 14-Pin headers. All of the standard JTAG signals are implemented on both (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, etc). The 60-Pin header has additional Emulation pins that can be used to support the transfer of Trace Data.
