Just thought I would post this. Got this question from an FAE today:
The customer has a XDS510USB JTAG 3V/5V emulator but want to use it with the OMAP which needs 1.8V signaling. Can the XDS510 be modified to interface at 1.8V?
"Attention: JTAG on BeagleBoard uses 1.8V!
The 14-pin TI JTAG connector that is used on BeagleBoard is supported by a large number of JTAG emulation products and has been tested using Lauterbach, Spectrum Digital XDS510USB+ and TI XDS560 emulation pods. Note that it will not work with the Spectrum Digital XDS510USB (non-plus) as it does not support a target with 1.8V JTAG."
It would seem that one version of the Spectrum Digital XDS510 (the XDS510USB+) will work at 1.8V. The plain vanilla one not so much. I imagine that you could use a voltage translator module, like this one:
However, I could not find anything that specifically says the XDS510USB + voltage translator works with the OMAP35xx. But, it's reasonable to assume that Spectrum Digital developed the translator for cases just like this.
I found this other post on the developer wiki that I thought you might find useful:
That helps with loading EBOOT and other bootloaders, but you might need an emulator for customized low-level board bringup (like SDRAM init).
