Chapter 4: Configuring the Emulator
Is there circuitry in the target system that constantly monitors bus
cycle execution (for example, memory refresh circuitry or a watchdog
timer)? If so, you should drive background cycles to the target system.
(Foreground monitor cycles appear at the target interface exactly as if they were
bus cycles caused by a user program.)
Should bus arbitration be allowed? Generally, the answer to this question
will be "yes". However, you may disable bus arbitration in order to isolate target
system problems. For example, if you have a situation where the processor never
seems to execute any code, you can disable bus arbitration to check and see if
arbitration circuitry in your target system might be contributing to the problem.
