Using The Emulation Control Interface - HP 16600A Series User Manual

Using the Emulation Control Interface

The Emulation Control Interface in your HP16600A/700A-series logic
analysis system allows you to control an emulator (an emulation
module or an emulation probe).
As you set up the emulation module, you will use the Emulation
Control Interface to:
• Update firmware (which reloads or changes the processor-specific
personality of the emulator).
• Change the LAN port assignment (rarely necessary).
• Run performance verification tests on the emulator.
The Emulation Control Interface allows you to:
• Run, break, reset, and step the target processor.
• Set and clear breakpoints.
• Read and write registers.
• Read and write memory.
• Read and write I/O memory.
• View memory in mnemonic form.
• Read and write the emulator configuration.
• Download programs (in Motorola S-Record or Intel Hex format) to the
target system RAM or ROM.
• View emulator status and errors.
• Write and play back emulator command script files.
If you have an emulation probe, this interface also allows you to
configure the LAN address of the emulation probe.
Using the logic analysis system's intermodule bus does not require the
Emulation Control Interface to be running. If the emulation module
icon is in the Intermodule window, then it will be able to send and
receive signals. Therefore if you are using a debugger, you can use an
