User Interface
The 80186 emulator Windows user interface is designed to work with the Pentium computers and provides multiple windows for Source, Registers, Memory, Stack, Variables, Locals, Commands, Coverage Analysis, and others. The source level debugger window is capable of working with all major C and C++ compilers and links symbols automatically to the Trace window. The user defined SFR and variable Watch windows complement the suite. Extensive Macro support allows you to add even more power to this already rich and yet intuitive man-machine interface.
Complex Events
Event is a set of conditions that control the operation of complex program breakpoints and trace start/stop logic in real time. There are three 80186 Events available, each consisting of the combination of the following:
-
- 1 MB address breakpoints or ranges;
- 16-bit data pattern with less than, greater than, equal, not equal, and don’t care combinations;
- Memory R/W, I/O R/W, Interrupt, and instruction read as cycle qualifiers;
- External input with programmable trigger polarity.
In addition, Events can be counted or delayed by the use of two 16-bit Pass Counters. An eight level hardware sequencer of the 80186 emulator is available to sequentially trigger from/to any Event or Pass Counter.
Breakpoints
Breakpoints are used to stop the execution of the 80186 application program preserving the current program status. They can be triggered from a combination of:
-
- Address or Range of Addresses;
- Complex Events;
- External Input;
- Pass Counters;
- Sequencer;
- Trace Buffer Full Condition.
Trace Buffer
Trace buffer is a high speed RAM used to capture in real-time all activity on the 80186 microprocessor internal bus and pins. A dedicated start/stop logic allows for filtering unwanted information from the trace buffer. Buffer will remember the selected 32K samples (frames) comprised of the following:
-
- Address Bus;
- Data Bus;
- Control Signals;
- I/O Pins;
- Real Time Clock Stamp;
- User Logic Inputs (8 bits).
The 80186 race can be started/stopped by the combination of:
-
- GO Command;
- Complex Events;
- Pass Counters;
- Sequencer;
- Trace Full Condition.
Additionally, the 80186 emulator’s trace buffer of is equipped with a special internal counter to allow tracing to stop after a specified number of frames. This feature allows Trace to catch as much as 32K of small fragments (snapshots) of executed program at full running speed. The trace contents can be examined during program execution without slowing down the microcontroller.
