Basically any JTAG debugger, supporting ARM Cortex A8, may be used

with i.MX53. Particularly - ARM Real View ICE may be applied.

Please find an overview of 3rd party development tools for ARM here:

please also look at recommended devices in “Emulators/Probes” section

Weidong,

Say for example if i want to write and execute a stand alone program (LED blink)  (NON-OS & no boot loader) in I.MX535 QSB board i need a IDE and JTAG right? and also if i want to do register level debug ,single step execution for my application code surely i required IDE and JTAG ...please clarify.

Thanks again

JTAG is needed, as for IDE (Integrated Development Environment) - for simple applications one can use just editor (say, Notepad++), toolchain, and a debugger.

Hello,Antony,

    Actually, If your design is based on evaluation board and BSP released by Freescale, Emulator is not required. Normally, emulator can help you do the following jobs:

(1) debug basical system(expecially DDR3 or LPDDR2 etc)

(2)Burn images into flashes on board.

(3)Programing to test performance of your system.

But Freescale provides some necessary tools for those. such as :

MFG Tool for burning ,cfimager for burning, OBDS tool for low level hardware pressing test. etc.

As for settings of memory controller , if the ddr memory you use is different from that of EVK board, you can configure DDR memory controller manually in u-boot (the file's name is flash_header.S)
