The NXP® Semiconductors in-circuit emulator (FSICE) is a full-featured emulator system for developing embedded systems using HC(9)08 microcontrollers. The FSICE system consists of a base station and a MCU emulator module (EM). Connected to your target system, the emulator replicates the actual target system MCU. The CodeWarrior® development environment (IDE) interface allows for quick edits and changes to assembly code, which makes design, debug, and real-time evaluation of the target system as efficient as possible. Use this economical system to perform traditional debugging activities such as executing code in run or step mode, setting break points, monitoring or modifying CPU registers, memory and application variables, and creating log or script files to record test results or create test suites.
In addition to incorporating the debug features of the traditional emulators, FSICE adds advanced features such as a built-in USBMULTILINK08 cable for in-circuit Flash programming, Ethernet interface for remote debugging and application development, and real-time bus analyzer with 24 general-purpose logic inputs for capture user-defined bus cycles or events. The bus state analyzer can also help a designer debug the MCU support circuitry, verify nested or complex program flows using the full range of sequenced or logical event triggering and data capture modes, and ensure proper timing by using the custom time tag clock.
To simplify the ordering process, NXP offers device specific HC(9)08 FSICE Kits. These kits contain everything needed to begin developing for a HC(9)08 MCU family.
Limitations listed here apply to using your EML08AP emulator, as opposed to using the actual MCU in your target system:
Limitation 1 - Continuous Autoscan Mode in ADC module:
The emulator may not be able to obtain correct ADC conversion value on ADC channel ATD0 to ATD3 if the ADC module is configured in continuous autoscan mode.
Limitation 2 - Low voltage inhibit interrupt in LVI module:
The emulator can not emulate the LVI interrupt in AP64/AP64A LVI module.
Limitation 3 - Frequency Limitation below nominal supply voltages at 5V
Every effort has been made in the design of the EML08AP emulator to provide emulation over the full frequency range of the MCU however limitations exist at the high end of the frequency range.
The emulator module will likely not be able to operate at the 32MHz clock frequency as specified for the MCU at a supply voltage of 5V. The most common symptom is unreliable memory accesses. Since the program is in memory a typical manifestation of the symptom is an inability to load code or data or to execute code.
