Embedded systems in simple terms are computer programmable electronic circuits/microchips. Programming them is helpful for the programmer to see the effects of his code live and almost instantly as he makes changes. That’s where emulators come in, as they enable the user to see the effects of his/her code directly on the device. So check out this list of 10 best USB JTAG emulators and let us know your favourite USB JTAG emulators in the comments section below.
