Communication
iC5000 supports two types of communication: 10/100M Ethernet and USB 1.1/2.0. It is recommended to use
USB2.0 interface since it provides the fastest transfer from the iC5000 development system to the PC where
winIDEA IDE runs. This will guarantee a maximum performance of the iC5000 development system.
Specify the communication port through which the iC5000 unit connects to the PC in the
Hardware/Hardware/Communication tab.
• Universal Serial Bus (USB) - select when the Emulator is attached to the PC's USB port. The Emulator is
selected in the Device pull-down menu. When the Emulator is connected to the USB port of a computer for
the first time, Windows will detect a new device and prompt you for the driver for it. Specify the path to the
USB directory in the winIDEA installation directory or the distribution CD. If only one emulator is
connected to a PC via USB then Device combo box can be left empty (recommended). In this case if
you exchange the emulator with another one, you don't have to change communication settings.
• TCP/IP – This option sets the TCP/IP properties of the iC5000. See 'Setting up TCP/IP communication'
section for more details on TCP/IP setup.
Use the 'Test' button to test the communication settings.
