Chapter 5: Connecting and Configuring the Emulator

Using the Emulation Control Interface

The Emulation Control Interface in your Agilent Technologies 16600A/

700A-series logic analysis system allows you to control an emulator (an

emulation module or an emulation probe).

As you set up the emulator, 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
