Chapter 8: Using the Emulation Probe

Using the Emulation Probe

Using the Emulation Probe
The emulation probe can be controlled through the following interfaces:
• A third-party debugger. This is the most practical interface to use with the
emulation probe. See page 83.
• The emulation control interface of an Agilent Technologies 16700-series
logic analysis system. See page 85 or 86.
• The emulation probe's command line interface. This low-level interface is
generally used only for troubleshooting. See page 112.
Before you can use the Emulation Probe you must:
1 Connect the emulation probe to a LAN. See "Connecting the Emulation
Probe to a LAN" on page 37.
2 Connect the emulation probe to your target system. See "To connect
the emulation probe to the target system" on page 61.
3 Configure the emulation probe for your target system. See "Configuring
the Emulation Probe" on page 69.
4 Confirm that the emulation probe is working with your target.
To confirm that the emulation probe can communicate with your target
system, try a few simple commands using the emulation probe's command line
interface. Instructions for using the command line interface are on page 157.
You can read registers, read memory, or run a simple NOP loop. See page 151
and page 163 for examples.
If the emulation probe can not control the target system, see Chapter 12,
"Troubleshooting the Emulation Probe," beginning on page 147.
When using the emulation probe with a 16700-series logic analysis system, the
display can be exported to a web browser, a workstation, or a personal
computer (PC).
