MPLABTM Integrated Development EnvironmentThe MPLAB desktop provides development tools and an environment for developing and debugging your applications as a project.

This document covers the basic set up and operation of the ICEPIC emulator, but it does not cover all functions of the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Read the MPLAB User’s Guide to get a full understanding of the features and debug capabilities of the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment.

MPLAB Development ToolsThe MPLAB Integrated Development Environment allows you to quickly move between different development/debugging modes. For example, you can quickly advance from debugging with the simulator to debugging with the ICEPIC emulator.

The MPLAB Integrated Development Environment includes the following development tools:

MPLAB Project ManagerThe Project Manager enables you to create a project, and work with specific files related to the project. The MPLAB Project Manager also allows you to build an application and download your code to the emulator or the simulator with a mouse click.

MPLAB EditorThe MPLAB Editor allows you to write and edit firmware source files or other text files for PlCmicroTM MCUs.

MPLAB-SIM SimulatorThe simulator models instruction execution of PICmicro MCUs and PICmicro I/O at the speed of your CPU.

PICMASTER® EmulatorThe PICMASTER emulator uses hardware to emulate PICmicro MCUs in real time. This is Microchip’s universal emulator and supports all PICmicros.

PICSTART® Plus Device ProgrammerA highly flexible low-cost programmer for all PICmicro 8-bit OTP devices (DIP packages).

51103A_p.book : 51103A_p.fm Page 2 Friday, December 19, 1997 10:35 AM

PRO MATE® Device ProgrammerA universal robust programmer for all PICmicro, KEELOQ® and many Microchip memory devices.

ICEPIC EmulatorThe ICEPIC emulator uses hardware to emulate most 12-bit and 14-bit PICmicro MCUs in real time.

Universal PICmicro MCU AssemblerThe MPASM Universal PICmicro MCU Assembler allows you to assemble your code without exiting MPLAB.

What is the ICEPIC EmulatorThe ICEPIC Emulator is a hardware debugging tool that operates with the MPLAB Integrated Development Environment. MPLAB has software tools to debug source code and MPLAB-SIM to simulate PICmicro MCU instructions and simple I/O. The ICEPIC emulator is one of the MPLAB tools. MPLAB with the ICEPIC emulator can debug application hardware as it executes in real-time.

An emulator, also called an in-circuit emulator or ICE, differs from a simulator in these areas:

I/O – The emulator has I/O and on-chip devices that function exactly like the target processor. In comparison, a simulator provides limited I/O and is a limited model of the special functions of a microcontroller.

Execution Speed – The emulator runs code and responds to external and internal events at the same speed the application runs.

The ICEPIC emulator connects into application hardware and runs like the PIC16C5X/16CXX microcontroller in your design. The emulator probe plugs into the PIC16C5X/16CXX socket on your application, and runs your code from ICEPIC emulation memory.

How the ICEPIC Emulator Helps YouThe ICEPIC emulator allows you to:

• Debug your source code on your own hardware.

• Debug your firmware in real time.

• Debug with hardware breakpoints.

• Watch/Modify internal registers and status of the processor.

Chapter 1. About ICEPIC Emulator

IntroductionThis chapter describes the ICEPIC emulator, lists its primary features, and suggests recommended reading. The salient feature of the ICEPIC are:

• Real Time Non-Intrusive Execution

• 8K words of emulation Memory (expandable to 16K)

• Full speed real time emulation

• Breakpoints - single step

• Source level debugging (both assembly and C)

• Symbolic debug capability

• MPLAB user interface

• Microsoft Windows 3.1/95 Compatible

• RS-232 Interface

Emulator ComponentsThe four major components of the emulator System are:

1. Emulator mother board

2. Daughter board

3. MPLAB Software

Emulator Mother BoardThe emulator contains all emulation and control logic common to all microcontroller devices supported. The emulator contains emulation memory, breakpoint logic and control logic. The emulator controls and interfaces to an interchangeable daughter board via two DIN style stacking connectors.

Daughter BoardThe emulator requires an interface connection to the target microcontroller device that you are emulating. A daughter board specific to the microcontroller family that you are emulating provides this interface connection. The installed

daughter board configures the emulator system for emulating a target microcontroller, and snaps on to the mother board of the system using standard DIN connectors.


ICEPIC


Interchangeable daughter boards allow development engineers to easily reconfigure the emulator system for emulating different target processors. The daughter boards operating frequencies may range up to 20 MHz, depending on the daughter board.

Supporting ICEPIC daughter boards for future microcontroller devices will be made available as Microchip releases future devices.

MPLAB SoftwareThe MPLAB software runs in the Windows 3.1 or greater environment, and provides full display, modification, and control of the target application under emulation. MPLAB software supports the PICmicro MCU families. The MPLAB software automatically identifies the probe type, and configures the emulator system for emulating the target processor.

With MPLAB and MS Windows you can concurrently run many programs such as inter-office mail, spreadsheets, and ICEPIC.

Emulator ArchitectureThe universal architecture of the emulator allows expansion to support all new PIC16C5X and PIC16CXX microcontrollers. Data and program memory paths extend to 14 bits.

Hardware and Software RequirementsThe emulator system is designed to operate on most PC compatible 386 or better class systems running MS Windows 3.1 or Windows 95, This real-time emulation system provides advanced features generally found on more expensive development tools.

Host Computer System RequirementsTo take advantage of the emulator system features, you must install the MPLAB software (MPLAB.EXE) on a host computer having the following minimum configuration:

• PC compatible machine: 386 or higher.

• VGA required. SuperVGA recommended.

• MS-DOS /PC-DOS version 5.0 or greater.

• Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or greater operating in 386 enhanced mode.

• 4 MB of Memory, 16 MB Recommended8 MB of Hard Disk Space, 20 MB Recommended

• One free serial port.A serial port with PIC16C550 is recommended for speeds greater than 19.2K.

• Mouse or other pointing device

ICEPIC


Getting the Most From MPLAB - Using ProjectsMPLAB is the host software for the ICEPIC emulator and the MPLAB-SIM simulator. It functions as a sophisticated debugging tool, providing access to RAM, ROM, EEPROM, and a variety of other debug functions. To realize the true capabilities of MPLAB, you must use it as a project manager as well.

Perform the following steps to gain some familiarity with the MPLAB projects:

1. Select Project > New Project to create a new project. The projectmanager will create a project file of the same name as the file youchoose, except it will have the extension *.PJT.

2. Add a file to the project. When you close the New Project dialog the EditProject dialog opens automatically. Add the files you want to this projectand close the dialog. Since the linker is not currently available, MPLABonly supports one source file per project. However, that file can includeother files.

3. Select Project > Build All. MPLAB rebuilds all of the files in the project. Ifyou select Project > Make Project, MPLAB only rebuilds the files thathave changed. If there are any errors in the source code, MPLABdisplays the error file and allows you to go immediately to the file andline where the error occurred by double-clicking on the error line.

4. Open the Source code using File > Open Source. Select the Window >Program Memory, Window > File Registers, and Window > SpecialFunction Registers to open the corresponding windows.

5. Select Project > Close Project. MPLAB records the open windows andtheir positions when you select Yes from the close project message box.

6. Select Project > Open Project. MPLAB reopens all of the projectwindows, reloads the binary code into the emulator, and loads thesymbol information for debugging.

7. Using Run, Halt, Step, and Reset from the toolbar or the Debug > Runmenu, you can debug your application from your source code. If youdiscover a bug in your source code, you can correct it immediately,recompile and reload the code into the emulator with a single keystroke(Project > Make Project or F10).

Where to go from HereFor all users, we recommend you work through the tutorial on projects in the MPLAB User’s Guide. This tutorial gives you an overview of the debugging capabilities of the MPLAB system.

Note: If you do not put your source files into a project, MPLAB cannot debug properly.


ICEPIC


Chapter 3. ICEPIC Emulator Basic Functions

IntroductionThis chapter briefly discusses the basic MPLAB debugging functions of the ICEPIC emulator. For more information on general debugging features, refer to the MPLAB User’s Guide.

HighlightsThis chapter covers the following information:

• Program Execution

• Breakpoints

• Hardware Dialog

• Conditional Break Dialog

• Program Memory in the ICEPIC Emulator

Program ExecutionThe emulator executes in real-time mode or in polled mode.

• Real time execution occurs when you run the processor without interruptions until encountering a valid breakpoint, or until encountering a user halt.

• Polled execution occurs when you single step the processor, modify values at a breakpoint, execute an opcode from the Debug > Execute > Execute an Opcode dialog, or use the Debug > Execute > Conditional Break dialog.

Real Time ExecutionWhen you run the emulator in real time, instructions execute just as the processor would without emulation. The emulator executes in real time until a valid breakpoint halts the emulator or until you force the emulator to halt.

To execute the emulator in real time, click the Run icon on the Tool Bar, or double click on an instruction in the Program Memory window.

Note: Double clicking on an instruction in the Program Memory window runs the emulator until the program counter reaches that same instruction again, or until the program hits a valid breakpoint.


ICEPIC


When running in real time:

• The emulator behaves exactly as the normal chip would behave in real time.

• If break logic is enabled the emulator or simulator will halt upon encountering a valid breakpoint.

The Debug Tool Bar provides Run, Halt, and Step buttons for controlling the emulator or simulator.

Polled Execution• Polled execution occurs when you single step the processor, modify

values at a breakpoint, execute an opcode from the Debug > Execute > Execute an Opcode dialog, or use the Debug > Execute > Conditional Break dialog.

• Polled execution provides the capability to:

– Step through code, one instruction at a time, watch the programflow, and see all register contents.

– Break on a register value or condition.– Force the emulator or simulator to execute any single opcode.

The MPLAB Debug > Execute menu options allow you to control the polled execution of your firmware in the target processor.

Animate ModeAnimate Mode is a method of automatically single-stepping the processor. To view the changing registers in the Special Function Register window or the Watch windows, use Animate mode. Animate mode runs slower than the Run function, but allows you to view changing register values.

BreakpointsICEPIC allows the user to define events based upon the following elements:

BreakpointsThe breakpoints are hardware breakpoints and can be set at any program memory address location.

MPLAB limits the number of named events to a maximum of 16 in each dialog.

The following figures show the dialog boxes for assigning names to events.




Figure 3.1 Break Settings Dialog Box

Events in Program Memory WindowMPLAB displays the break addresses as shown in below

Figure 3.2 Program Memory Window

Real Time BreakpointsA breakpoint is a condition in which the processor executes code and halts after a certain condition is met.

The ICEPIC emulator provides the following ways to set a breakpoint:

• Break on Address Match

• Break on Stack Overflow (applies to PlC16CXX only)


ICEPIC


• Break on Watch Dog Timer Time Out (applies to PIC16CXX only)

• Break on User Halt

Break on Address MatchBreak on Address Match allows you to halt the processor at a desired program memory address when the processor program counter equals a certain value. The processor breaks only after the valid instruction is executed. For example, if a breakpoint is set at address 5Ah, then the processor breaks after executing the instruction at address 5Ah.

Break on Stack OverflowBreak on Stack Overflow causes the ICEPIC emulator to execute a break when the stack overflows.

Break on Watch Dog TimerIf enabled, the ICEPIC emulator executes a break when a Watch Dog Timer time-out generates a device reset. The ICEPIC emulator only supports this feature on the PIC16CXX family.

Break on User HaltMPLAB executes until you press the Halt button on the Conditional Break display (Debug > Execute > Conditional Break).

Hardware DialogThe MPLAB menu selection, Options > Processor Setup > Hardware provides dialogs for setting up the ICEPIC emulator.

Conditional Break DialogThe ICEPIC emulator halts at a breakpoint when the value of a specified internal register reaches a preset value or condition.

Note: On multicycle instructions, the ICEPIC emulator ignores extra (non-instruction) fetches and breaks only on a valid instruction

Note: The ICEPIC emulator only supports Break on Stack Overflow for the PIC16CXX family. It also supports break on stack underflow for the PIC16CXX family.




Figure 3.3 Conditional Break Dialog

ConditionsThe ICEPIC emulator will stop at a breakpoint in the Conditional Break dialog based on one of the following conditions:

User Halt – The ICEPIC emulator executes until you press the Halt button on the Conditional Break display.

Number of Cycles – The ICEPIC emulator halts after the target processor executes the specified number of cycles.

Logic Condition satisfied.

Trace DataTrace Data allows you to track the value of the registers in the Conditional Break dialog.

Single CycleIn the Single Cycle mode, the ICEPIC emulator single steps the processor until the condition is met.


ICEPIC


Program Memory in the ICEPIC EmulatorThe ICEPIC emulator emulates program memory as described below.

PIC16C5X and PIC16CXX SeriesThe PlC16C5X and PIC16CXX series have no external memory capability. (All the program memory resides on the chip.) For these families, during development with the ICEPIC emulator, all program code resides in emulation program memory.

Chapter 4. ICEPIC Emulator Menu Options

IntroductionThis chapter gives detailed information on using the MPLAB menu options directly applicable to the ICEPIC emulator.

HighlightsThis chapter discusses portions of the following MPLAB pull-down menus:

• File Menu

• Debug Menu

• Options Menu

• Tools Menu

File Menu

Download to Target MemoryThis command is NOT applicable to ICEPIC system.

Copy from Target MemoryThis command is NOT applicable to ICEPIC system.

Debug Menu

Run

Animate Mode

Animate Mode is a method of automatically single-stepping the processor. The simulator actually executes single steps while in run mode, but it only updates the values of the registers when it is halted. To view the changing registers in the Special Function Register window or the Watch windows, use Animate mode. Animate mode runs slower than the Run function, but allows you to view changing register values.

Update All Registers

Select Run > Update All Registers to update the displayed values for all registers to the current state of the registers – or to the condition in which the executing program left the registers.


ICEPIC


A typical use for this command would be to check an external stimulus on the target board without executing an instruction. For example, if you change a value on an input port on the target board, you could use Update All Registers to verify the new input value.

Break SettingsSelect Debug > Break Settings to display the Breakpoint Settings dialog box for defining up to 16 named breakpoint ranges.

After entering a breakpoint title, start address, and end address, click 4 or press Enter to accept the breakpoint range definition.

System Reset (Ctrl+Shift+F3)Select Debug > System Reset to reset the entire emulator system including the hardware, software and the target processor. System Reset performs the same initialization that is performed when MPLAB is first entered.

Options Menu

Development ModeSelect Options > Development Mode to change the current Development Mode setting. Select ICEPIC emulator mode & set the COM port and the desired baud rate.

Click on the desired COM port for ICEPIC.

If MPLAB does not find the ICEPIC system, an error is reported. If this occurs, select the correct COM port and press the "Reset" button.

Select the desired baud rate.

No hardware jumpers or switch modifications are necessary. The system is auto baud capable. In most cases a baud rate of 38.4K is reliable. If serial I/O errors are reported, try reducing the baud rate to 19.2K.

Processor SetupThe Processor Setup commands allow you to configure the emulator environment.

Note: To perform a processor reset (MCLR), select Debug > Run > Reset.

Note: Always power down the emulator pod when changing probes, and then run a system reset. If you do not run a system reset after changing probes, MPLAB will not be properly configured for the new probe.

ICEPIC


Chapter 5. Trouble Shooting Guide

IntroductionThe troubleshooting information in this appendix can help you with typical problems you may have in using the emulator, and describes how to resolve these problems.

HighlightsThe troubleshooting information in this chapter includes the following:

• Hardware Related Problems

• Software Related Problems

Hardware Related Problems

RS-232 Port ConnectionThe ICEPIC system communicates with the host via standard RS232 port. This requires that you have at least one free serial port on your system. The desired COM port must be supported by Windows.

If the MPLAB is unable to detect ICEPIC system on the selected COM port, try another COM port, especially if the COM ports are COM3 or COM4. Try switching to COM1 or COM2.

If occasional serial communication errors are reported, reduce the baud rate and perform a system reset.

Emulator Clock/Target System ClockEnsure you have a clock present at all times. If a clock is not present, configure the target system clock via a jumper on the probe to select the internal emulator clock or the user target system clock.

Internal Clock:

Jumper INTCLK if the emulator is to provide the system clock from the on board canned oscillator.

External Clock:

Jumper EXTCLK if the clock on the target application is to provide the system clock. Note that CMOS clock levels are required and a crystal CANNOT be used.


ICEPIC


Software Related Problems

Breakpoints Points Disappear on DownloadIf breakpoints disappear when you download a file, the global switch, "Clear Memory on Download" may be selected in the Options > Environment Setup dialog box.

With the "Clear Memory on Download" option selected, the MPLAB software will clear emulation memory before downloading a file.

Enabling Breakpoints

Double click the breakpoints toggle in the status bar to turn breakpoints on and off.

Stack Overflow, Underflow

Stack overflow or underflow may occur for some PICmicro emulated devices. The following paragraphs detail the ICEPIC emulator hardware stack levels by family.

2-Levels Deep Hardware Stack (PIC16C5X)

Some data may be left in the stack as the PIC16C5X device has no way to clear the stack. No overflow or underflow is supported for the PIC16C5X.

8-Levels Deep Hardware Stack (PIC16CXX)

The Host Software displays an underflow or overflow message when you set Stack Break Enable on the Hardware configuration display and push or pop the stack beyond its limit. Select Options > Processor Setup > Hardware to display the Hardware configuration dialog box.

Resetting the Emulator System

Often, resetting the Emulator will clear an existing problem and allow you to continue using the ICEPIC emulator without further troubleshooting.

Select Debug > System Reset to reset the entire Emulator system (including the Hardware, Software and the target processor). System Reset performs the same initialization that is performed when the ICEPIC emulator is first loaded.

Appendix A. On-Line Support

IntroductionMicrochip provides two methods of on-line support. These are the Microchip BBS and the Microchip World Wide Web (WWW) site.

Use Microchip’s Bulletin Board Service (BBS) to get current information and help about Microchip products. Microchip provides the BBS communication channel for you to use in extending your technical staff with microcontroller and memory experts.

To provide you with the most responsive service possible, the Microchip systems team monitors the BBS, posts the latest component data and software tool updates, provides technical help and embedded systems insights, and discusses how Microchip products provide project solutions.

The web site, like the BBS, is used by Microchip as a means to make files and information easily available to customers. To view the site, the user must have access to the Internet and a web browser, such as Netscape or Microsoft Explorer. Files are also available for FTP download from our FTP site.

Connecting to the Microchip Internet Web SiteThe Microchip web site is available by pointing your favorite Internet browser to:

www.microchip.com

The file transfer site is available by using an FTP service to connect to:

ftp://ftp.futureone.com/pub/microchip

The web site and file transfer site provide a variety of services. Users may download files for the latest Development Tools, Datasheets, Application Notes, User’s Guides, Articles and Sample Programs.

A variety of Microchip specific business information is also available, including listings of Microchip sales offices, distributors and factory representatives. Other data available for consideration is:

• Latest Microchip Press Releases

• Technical Support Section with Frequently Asked Questions

• Design Tips

• Device Errata

• Job Postings

• Microchip Consultant Program Member Listing

• Links to other useful web sites related to Microchip Products


ICEPIC


Connecting to the Microchip BBSConnect worldwide to the Microchip BBS using either the Internet or the CompuServe communications network.

Internet: You can telnet or ftp to the Microchip BBS at the address

mchipbbs.microchip.com

CompuServe Communications Network: In most cases, a local call is youronly expense. The Microchip BBS connection does not useCompuServe membership services, therefore

You do not need CompuServe membership to join Microchip’s BBS.

There is no charge for connecting to the BBS, except for a toll charge to the CompuServe access number, where applicable. You do not need to be a CompuServe member to take advantage of this connection (you never actually log in to CompuServe).

The procedure to connect will vary slightly from country to country. Please check with your local CompuServe agent for details if you have a problem. CompuServe service allow multiple users at baud rates up to 14400 bps.

The following connect procedure applies in most locations.

1. Set your modem to 8-bit, No parity, and One stop (8N1). This is not thenormal CompuServe setting which is 7E1.

2. Dial your local CompuServe access number.

3. Depress <Enter↵> and a garbage string will appear becauseCompuServe is expecting a 7E1 setting.

4. Type +, depress <Enter↵> and Host Name: will appear.

5. Type MCHIPBBS, depress <Enter↵> and you will be connected to theMicrochip BBS.

In the United States, to find the CompuServe phone number closest to you, set your modem to 7E1 and dial (800) 848-4480 for 300-2400 baud or(800) 331-7166 for 9600-14400 baud connection. After the system responds with Host Name:, type NETWORK, depress <Enter↵> and follow CompuServe’s directions.

For voice information (or calling from overseas), you may call (614) 723-1550 for your local CompuServe number.

Using the Bulletin BoardThe bulletin board is a multifaceted tool. It can provide you with information on a number of different topics.

• Special Interest Groups

• Files

• Mail

• Bug Lists


Appendix A. On-Line Support


Special Interest GroupsSpecial Interest Groups, or SIGs as they are commonly referred to, provide you with the opportunity to discuss issues and topics of interest with others that share your interest or questions. SIGs may provide you with information not available by any other method because of the broad background of the PIC16/17 user community.

There are SIGs for most Microchip systems and device families. These groups are monitored by the Microchip staff.

FilesMicrochip regularly uses the Microchip BBS to distribute technical information, application notes, source code, errata sheets, bug reports, and interim patches for Microchip systems software products. Users can contribute files for distribution on the BBS. For each SIG, a moderator monitors, scans, and approves or disapproves files submitted to the SIG. No executable files are accepted from the user community in general to limit the spread of computer viruses.

MailThe BBS can be used to distribute mail to other users of the service. This is one way to get answers to your questions and problems from the Microchip staff, as well as keeping in touch with fellow Microchip users worldwide.

Consider mailing the moderator of your SIG, or the SYSOP, if you have ideas or questions about Microchip products, or the operation of the BBS.

Software ReleasesSoftware products released by Microchip are referred to by version numbers. Version numbers use the form:

xx.yy.zz

Where xx is the major release number, yy is the minor number, and zz is the intermediate number.

Intermediate ReleaseIntermediate released software represents changes to a released software system and is designated as such by adding an intermediate number to the version number. Intermediate changes are represented by:

• Bug Fixes

• Special Releases

• Feature Experiments


ICEPIC


Intermediate released software does not represent our most tested and stable software. Typically, it will not have been subject to a thorough and rigorous test suite, unlike production released versions. Therefore, users should use these versions with care, and only in cases where the features provided by an intermediate release are required.

Intermediate releases are primarily available through the BBS.

Production ReleaseProduction released software is software shipped with tool products. Example products are PRO MATE, PICSTART, and PICMASTER. The Major number is advanced when significant feature enhancements are made to the product. The minor version number is advanced for maintenance fixes and minor enhancements. Production released software represents Microchip’s most stable and thoroughly tested software.

There will always be a period of time when the Production Released software is not reflected by products being shipped until stocks are rotated. You should always check the BBS or the WWW for the current production release.

Systems Information and Upgrade Hot LineThe Systems Information and Upgrade Line provides system users a listing of the latest versions of all of Microchip’s development systems software products. Plus, this line provides information on how customers can receive any currently available upgrade kits. The Hot Line Numbers are: 1-800-755-2345 for U.S. and most of Canada, and 1-602-786-7302 for the rest of the world.

These phone numbers are also listed on the "Important Information" sheet that is shipped with all development systems. The hot line message is updated whenever a new software version is added to the Microchip BBS, or when a new upgrade kit becomes available.

ICEPIC

51103A_p.book : 51103A_B.fm Page 28 Friday, December 19, 1997 10:35 AM

How to Achieve High Baud Rates?• Use an I/O Card with a 16550 processor.

• Older IBM® PC compatibles were equipped standard with 8250 UART. Newer computers come with 18550 processors (especially notebook computers). Unlike the 8250, the 16550 UARTs have a 16 byte FIFO which improves the speed of communications. MS Windows will have enough time before servicing an interrupt.

• Upgrade your Windows 3.1 to Windows For Workgroups

• Even if your computer is not networked, Windows For Workgroups' serial port driver is significantly better.

• Upgrade you computer to at least 8 Mb RAM.

• Remove any screen savers, these slow down your Windows operation.

There are various third party COM Drivers on the market, which are replacements for the standard driver that comes with MS Windows. These drivers are supposedly faster, but ICEPIC software has not been tested with these drivers.

What’s Your UART?• At your DOS prompt (e.g. C:\), enter MSD.EXE

• Choose COM Ports

• If your serial I/O card is equipped with old technology, the screen will

• show 8250 or PIC16C450

• If you have a high speed UART, the screen will show PIC16C550


ICEPIC

Appendix C. Emulator Limitations

Due to the nature of the emulator system and the emulator bond out chips, there are a few situations where true emulation is not possible. The following section describes them:

Processor Specific Limitations• Watchdog timer is emulated only when running in real time. It is held in

reset during single steps.

• Power On Reset (POR) conditions are not emulated. The bond out emulator chip is always powered on by the ICEPIC system. Thus PCON register of PIC16CXX is not emulated. The "TO" and "PD" bits may not correctly show the power-up conditions.

• Power-up Timer is not emulated

• Oscillator Startup Timer is not emulated

• Cannot emulate on chip EPROM programming

• Modifying PORTB of PIC16CXX is not immediately reflected onto the I/O pins during a HALT state if the "Freeze Peripherals On Halt" is selected. At least one single step or run in real time is necessary.

• Interrupts are not recognized during HALT state.

• When the processor is in "SLEEP" state, HALT is not recognized by the emulator system, and the user must reset the processor to halt or exit sleep mode.

As such, single step on a SLEEP instruction is not possible

ICEPIC System Specific Limitations• The "Step Over" function may not freeze the peripherals (if selected) for

1 cycle.

• Cannot emulate in real time below 32 kHz.

• The ICEPIC is able to emulate up to a maximum of 20MHz. Please note that at the time of writing this manual, the maximum speed of operation of the emulation chip PIC16C02ME, is 10MHz. This means that when emulating PICmicro MCUs which utilize the PIC16C02 as the core emulation device, the maximum emulation speed is 10MHz.

• Cannot emulate low voltage operation.

• Clock modes (XT, RC, HS and LP) cannot be selected. Clock is always fed from the user changeable Clock Oscillator located on the daughter board.


ICEPIC

51103A_p.book : 51103A_C.fm Page 30 Friday, December 19, 1997 10:35 AM

ICEPIC Oscillator/Clock LimitationsThe probe header cable has a high capacitance, therefore is not always possible to transmit a clock signal from the target board to drive the bond out chip. (Please note this feature is not available on the PIC16C5X Personality daughter board)

If the user requires a specific clock signal, the following is recommended:

• Using an Oscillator module on the daughter board with the appropriate frequency.

• Connect a separate cable from the clock source directly into the OSC Module output (pin 8) on the daughter board, with low impedance to ensure enough drive power to the input of the emulation chip.


ICEPIC

51103A_p.book : 51103A_D.fm Page 31 Friday, December 19, 1997 10:35 AM

Appendix D. Diagnostic Program

Before running the diagnostics program the user must follow these rules:

• Do not connect the ICEPIC system to the target application board.

• The MCLR pull-up jumper (Link3, LK3) must be connected

• Clock and power must be present.

A separate Windows executable program ("icediags.exe") is installed by the installation program onto your hard disk. The installation program sets the command line parameters for this program according to your choice of the COM port during the installation procedure. To run this diagnostics program, simply double click the "icediags" icon in the "PIC16CXX Tools" program group. When executed, a dialog box as shown below appears:

Figure D.1 ICEPIC Test Menu Dialog

As shown in the above dialog, click on the "Test All" button to test all functions. Each block may be tested individually by clicking the desired test button. If a function block does not pass the test, failure is displayed by "Failed" instead of


ICEPIC


"Pass". Please note down all messages upon a failure so that the factory or an application engineer can assist you in debugging the system. Each test button is explained in more detail below:

Read System Info

Test Logic

Tests various functions of the system logic. If the test fails, please note down any errors reported and contact Microchip, your local FAE, or use the on-line support as described in Appendix A.

Test Emulation Memory

Tests the emulation RAMs in your ICEPIC system. Every location of the memory is tested and if an error is encountered the address, expected data and the actual data are reported.

Test Breakpoints

The breakpoint logic is tested. Both the system logic related functions and the emulator bond out chips are tested.

Test Trace Logic

This button is enabled only if your system has hardware trace support.

Test Target Processor

The target processor is tested for various functions. The user must make sure the system is not connected to his/her target application, since various I/O pins and special function registers are modified.

Name "ICEPIC" is displayed.

Series "A", "B", etc, depending on your system

Hardware Version Displays the hardware (board) revision number

Firmware Version Displays the controller Firmware Version number

Trace Support Displays YES or NO depending on whether your system supports trace.

Target Board Displays all the processors your daughter board supports.

Target ID An ID number (HEX) is displayed. This information is for factory testing only.

ID String An ID string of your system. This information is for factory testing only.


Appendix D. Diagnostic Program


Command Line Parameters

The installation program sets the command line parameters for the diagnostics program during installation. However, if at a later time, if the ICEPIC is connected to a different COM port, the following parameters must set:

-C# where # is the COM port number (1,2, 3, etc.)

-B# where # is the desired baud rate (2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 or 57600)

Example: If your ICEPIC system is connected to COM2 and you wish to test it at 9600 baud, then the correct command line is:

icediags.exe -c2 -b9600
