Microchip claims its new MPLAB In-Circuit Emulator 4000 provides full speed, low voltage emulation, interchangeable processor modules and device adapters and offers advanced features normally found on more expensive development tools. Designed to support the company's high-end PIC18F Flash PICmicro microcontrollers and dsPIC digital signal controllers, MPLAB ICE 4000 consists of an emulator pod, processor module, device adapter and transition socket. The interchangeable components allow the system to be easily configured to emulate many different PICmicro microcontrollers.
MPLAB ICE 4000 also includes Microchip's MPLAB Integrated Development Environment featuring MPASM assembler, MPLAB programmer's editor, symbolic debugger and project manager with built-in support for high level language debugging. It offers realtime in-circuit emulation and low-voltage emulation down to 1,8 V.
Features include a 64 K deep by 216-bit wide trace memory, up to 2 MB overlay memory, a 48-bit time stamp, stopwatch and unlimited breakpoints. Triggers and breakpoints can be set on single, multiple, or sequences of events, and complex triggering provides sophisticated trace analysis and precision breakpoints. A fully transparent trace analyser captures realtime execution addresses, op-codes and read/writes of external data. It also traces all file register RAM usage showing internal addresses and data transfers, as well as all access to special function registers, including I/O pins, timers, and peripherals.
MPLAB ICE 4000, which has a USB and parallel interface, supports code coverage profiling on program memory accesses.
