DSP, Micros & Memory


In-circuit emulator

21 November 2001 DSP, Micros & Memory

The Ceibo DS-XA is a development tool that supports Philips XA microcontrollers at any frequency allowed by the devices. It is serially linked to a PC or compatible systems and can emulate the microcontrollers using either the built-in clock generator or any other clock source connected to the microcontroller. Emulation is carried out by loading the system with the user software. As the system uses Philips bond-out technology, emulation is carried out transparently and in realtime without affecting port or register states. Breakpoints can be added to stop program execution at a specific address.

The emulator provides an easy way to debug hardware and software functions. The software includes C and Assembler source level debugger, online assembler and disassembler, trace, conditional breakpoints and many other features. The system is supplied with Windows debugger software, RS232 cable and a power supply.

DS-XA provides 2 MB of user code/data memory. This RAM memory permits downloading and modifying of user's programs and variables. Code/data memory is mapped as belonging to DS-XA or to the target system. The emulator also includes 64 KB of RAM to be used as code memory of on-chip ROM/flash/EPROM emulation. The system is provided with a total of 2 MB of memory that can be mapped in 32K blocks.

The supported microcontrollers are most of the Philips XA microcontrollers in both ROMless and ROMed versions. DS-XA has personality probes to emulate different microcontrollers. Currently the supported derivatives are G3, C3, C49 and S3.

The unit (100 x 100 mm in size) comes with the following items as standard: emulator with 2 MB Memory, Windows software including source level debugger, online assembler and disassembler, user's manual, RS232 cable and power supply. Personality probes and emulation headers for the different microcontrollers are optional extras.
