Chapter 5: Configuring the Emulator
replaces slower target system memory that requires wait states, synchronizing
emulation memory to the target system causes wait states to be inserted on
emulation memory accesses as they would be on target system memory accesses.
Refer to the "Mapping Memory" section later in this chapter.
Select the emulator's clock source. Generally, you should use the target
system clock when plugging the emulator into a target system.
Also, the emulator needs to know the following things:
Is there circuitry in the target system that requires programs to run in
real-time? Some emulator commands cause temporary breaks to the monitor
state, typically to access microprocessor register values, single-port emulation
memory, or target system memory. If the target system requires that programs run
in real-time, you must restrict the emulator to real-time runs.
Should the emulator respond to target system interrupts when
running in the monitor program? If so, you must use a foreground monitor
program since target system interrupts are always ignored during background
operation (refer to the "Selecting the Emulation Monitor" section later in this
chapter). If it's not important that the emulator respond to target system interrupts
when running in the monitor, you can use the background monitor.
