Standalone isoJTAG Module#

In order to increase usability and user-friendliness, an upgrade for the JTAG module is available since early 2024 and is already fitted as standard (i.e., ex works) in some systems based on Carrier Board Rev04. On this page, a step-by-step upgrade from the original Trenz TE0790 to the IsoJTAG_Adapter is provided.
