NXHX 90-JTAG

NXHX 90-JTAG

Where it fits

  • New project PoCs: Validate your split of application vs. communications on NXHX 90-JTAG first, then converge on custom hardware.
  • Upgrading existing products: Move stack development and debugging onto the eval board to speed up integration and stress testing.

NXHX 90-JTAG vs. NSHIELD 90-RE—how to choose?

  • NXHX 90-JTAG: netX 90 handles both communications and your application logic, with low-level integration on a single board.
  • NSHIELD 90-RE: netX 90 focuses on communications only and connects quickly to a host MCU (e.g., STM32) for cyclic I/O.

NXHX 90-JTAG: JTAG Debug +Multi-protocol

NXHX 90-JTAG is a software development board for the netX 90 SoC. It combines an on-board JTAG-to-USB debugger with general-purpose I/O, Ethernet, and more. With the free netX Studio CDT environment and example projects, you can load protocol stacks, debug, and run tests right away—an ideal starting point for teams building multi-protocol industrial Ethernet devices (PROFINET / EtherNet/IP / EtherCAT) from PoC through pre-production validation.

Why choose NXHX 90-JTAG?

  • One board, many protocols: Use the same hardware with the appropriate stacks and toolchains to validate different fieldbus/industrial Ethernet options, shortening early decision and prototyping cycles.
  • Built-in debugging: An integrated FTDI JTAG-to-USB interface lets you single-step and flash firmware without an external probe.
  • General-purpose hardware + rich I/O: Breakouts and interfaces are laid out for the netX 90’s dual-core (application + communication) architecture—great for quickly attaching sensors, actuators, or your own mezzanines.
  • Powered by netX 90 SoC: Dual Cortex-M4, integrated Ethernet PHY and power management, streamlined BOM, compact 10×10 mm BGA, and low power (< 1 W).
  • Complete official resources: Hardware guides, getting-started docs, and product manuals lower the learning curve.

Up and running in 3 steps (from zero to running examples)

  1. Install the toolchain: Download and install netX Studio CDT; confirm the board’s JTAG-USB is detected.
  2. Load samples and stacks: Target NXHX 90-JTAG, import the official examples, add the relevant protocol stack(s), then build and download.
  3. Connect to a PLC / network: Configure I/O mapping and network parameters per protocol and verify cyclic data exchange.
