Hi,
I am planning to buy Ulink-2, can i connect ulink-2 by parallel port or serial port, i don't want to open USB socket in my computer.
I am using win2k.
"The ULINK2 USB-JTAG Adapter connects your PC's USB port to your target hardware..." See: http://www.keil.com/emulators/
Also: http://www.keil.com/ulink2/
It's called a "USB-JTAG Adaptor" because it connects to USB!
Why don't you want to use your USB port?
Programmers can copy the source code in USB thumb drives!
Not if it's got a uLink plugged into it, they can't!
That can also be done via the parallel port, serial port, etc...
the USB storage devices are available very cheap. and easy to hide.
Hope you recall the last issue of Microsoft OS source code available on Internet.
Presently I removed the USB devices setting from BIOS and block the socket.
"Installing Locks on the doors preventing from the gentlemens, thiefs can crack any locks".
"the USB storage devices are available very cheap. and easy to hide."
But then the same has always been true of floppy disks!
I beleive there are tools available to secure against such data theft?
Anyhow, back to your original question, "can i connect ulink-2 by parallel port or serial port" - the answer is, clearly, "No!"
So that leaves you with the quandary: which is the bigger risk - your developers stealing your source code, or your developers being under-productive due to inadequate tools.
Your culture may well be different, but it would certainly demotivate developers over here to be treated as untrustworthy thieves...
thanks for your comments.
I found the solution on microsoft to disable only external usb drives. :)

In UK, USA an contract will work. but in India, all are working for counting the days, and passing time; that is why, you will not find any software products from India for general public.
not writing comments on source, not transferring the knowledge to freshers is a general practice of all programmers, leaving the jobs in without intimation.
