DESCRIPTION

The ST20-JPI parallel port to JTAG interface is
a host interface to allow connection from a PC
parallel port to any JTAG diagnostic controller
based ST20 development board. The interface
plugs into any standard PC 25 way D-type
parallel port. Supported parallel port modes
are:

• Nibble mode

• Byte mode

• EPP mode

depending on which mode the host PC can
support. Connection to the development target
is via a 20 way IDC JTAG connector. Once
connected, the development target can be
accessed using the MS Windows drivers
supplied with the standard ST20 toolset.

FEATURES

• Desktop mounted parallel port to JTAG inter­face

• Standard 25 way D-type parallel port connec­tion

• Standard 26 way D-type differential OS-Link
port for connection to a B300.

• Standard 20 way IDC cable for JTAG connec­tion.

• Plug top power supply

• Supports nibble, byte and EPP mode parallel

port standards
