    Motorola’s embedded PowerPC MPC500 microprocessors provide a development port (also known as a debug port) that lets tools like the HP E3456A emulation probe or the HP 16610A emulation module give you capabilities like: • Stopping or starting program execution.

  • Page 5: Emulation Probe

    Emulation Probe The HP E3456A emulation probe is a stand-alone unit that has its own power supply and local area network (LAN) interface. The HP E3456A emulation probe is typically used in situations where only its capabilities are needed, for example, by software developers using debuggers to debug program code.
