7. Debugger

In this chapter you learn how to download your project to the In-Circuit Emulator (ICE), use debug

strategies, and program the part. For additional information about the ICE and the development kit,

refer to Application Note AN2018, Care and Feeding of ICE Pods at http://www.cypress.com/.

Some PSoC devices do not use an external emulator (ICE cube or ICE-4000) for debugging.

Instead, the PSoC Designer I

C Debugger debugs on-chip through a 5-pin ISSP header and

MiniProg3. This section highlights the differences between the debuggers explained in previous sec-

tions and the I

C Debugger supported by these devices.

7.1 Debugger Components

The PSoC Designer Debugger provides in-circuit emulation that allows you to test the project in a

hardware environment, while viewing and debugging device activity in a software environment. The

PSoC In-Circuit Emulator (ICE) Debugging Kit contains these components as shown in Figure 7-1.

Note that the CAT5 Patch Cable should be no longer than 1 foot. It must also have 8 wires in order to

connect from the ICE to the Pod (some data CAT5 cables have only four wires).

There are separate user guides for two of the key debugger components:
