Emlink ICE for Blackfin
Q: How to connect the Emlink to my target board?
A: Emlink has two sides, one is connected to PC through an USB port(Host), another
is JTAG port to connect to your target board's JTAG port. Emlink can be power supplied
via PC's USB port.
Because of the Emlink JTAG port is 20pins, 2.54mm female interface, it can be easy
to plug it into the target's JTAG 20pins directly (notes that the JTAG signal should be
designed following Emlink Signal described in the hardware documentation. Meanwhile,
Emlink can also connect to JTAG 14pins, 2.54mm interface, which designed following
ADI EE-68 used, in this instance, Emlink first to connect with a convert module (a tiny
board), Pin1 to Pin1(red triangle):

Q: How to confirm the Emlink connection? Why errors appeared?
A: Emlink does not support ADI VisualDSP++ 'ICE Test' function to test the ICE
connection. Emlink will work normally in these circumstance:
* there is seem 'USB Serial Coverter A and B' under the 'General Bus Controller',
while running the Device manager, or
* connect to the target through VDSP++ Session and no errors appeared.
Emlink for VisualDSP++ also gives two type of errors to test the connections(same
as ICE TEST function):
(a) "Emlink not Found"
Emlink have not connect to PC,
or Emlink USB driver install failed,
or Emlink ICE has broken.
