ON-CHIP EMULATION INTRODUCTION

The DSP56K on-chip emulation (OnCE) circuitry provides a sophisticated debugging tool
that allows simple, inexpensive, and speed independent access to the processor's inter-
nal registers and peripherals. OnCE tells application programmers exactly what the status
is within the registers, memory locations, buses, and even the last five instructions that
were executed. OnCE capabilities are accessible through a standard set of pins which are
the same on all of the members of the DSP56K processor family. Figure 10-1 shows the
components of the OnCE circuitry. OnCE is shown as part of the DSP56K central pro-
cessing module in Figure 10-2.

ON-CHIP EMULATION (OnCE) PINS

The following paragraphs describe the OnCE pins associated with the OnCE controller
and serial interface component shown in Figure 10-1.
10.2.1 Debug Serial Input/Chip Status 0 (DSI/OS0)
Serial data or commands are provided to the OnCE controller through the DSI/OS0 pin
when it is an input. The data received on the DSI pin will be recognized only when the
DSP56K has entered the debug mode of operation. Data is latched on the falling edge of
the DSCK serial clock (described in Section 10.2.2). Data is always shifted into the OnCE
serial port most significant bit (MSB) first. When the DSI/OS0 pin is an output, it works in
conjunction with the OS1 pin to provide chip status information (see Table 10-1). The
