EASE-68000 - Evatronix Application-debugging Support Environment for the C68000 Microprocessor

EASE-68000.PNG

The EASE-68000 is a special set of hardware and software solutions for all variations of the C68000 microprocessor that allows in-system core debugging while a user application is being executed. The EASE is very easy to connect, configure and use thanks to an industry standard USB 2.0 interface between the system and the debugging environment. In addition, the modular architecture of the EASE enables remote debugging via the Internet. A complete solution includes the following components:

  • C68000 On Chip Debug Support (OCDS) unit, which allows controlled execution of a user program, reading or writing memories and registers and much more
  • Evatronix Debug Interface (EDI68k-3) – a dedicated software package for a Windows PC that works with the debugger environment
  • Evatronix Debug Pod (EDP) – an external hardware unit, which transmits data between the debugger and the debug target through two interfaces: USB and JTAG. The first one is used to communicate with the PC while the second one establishes connection with the C68000.
  • Highlights & Benefits

  • Applications
  • Deliverables

Highlights

  • Program execution control reset, stop, go and step in ANSI C or ASM instruction mode
  • Software breakpoints (SWBP) to stop program execution on code fetch
  • Hardware breakpoints (HWBP) to stop program execution from a selected address/address range
  • Full read/write access to memory
  • Read/write access to internal processor registers, including PC

Benefits

  • EASE-68000 provides a convenient and fast environment for debugging all 68000-based applications thus speeding time to market
  • Remote debugging via Internet network (using TCP/IP protocol)
  • Simple and easy installation (user friendly Install Guide)

Thanks to the additional application which transmits data from the CrossView Debugger to the EDP device over any network via the TCP/IP protocol there are two possibilities for debugging:

  • Local - CrossView debugger is running on a PC and EDP with hardware target connected directly to it
  • Remote - CrossView debugger is running on one PC while EDP with hardware target is connected to the other PC, so an engineer can work on target hardware which is placed in a different room, building or any other location. All what is needed a network connection
  • Debugging and testing embedded software in target environment. It is especially recommended when the project integrates a Real Time Operating System and/or peripheral controllers as USB or Ethernet devices
  • Testing additional peripheral controllers via debugger interface

Standard Deliverables

  • EDP package (with full documentation, cables, etc.)
  • User Manual and Installation Guide
  • EDIC68k-3 and EDIServer software installation pack with a user-friendly Install Guide

Delivery Options

  • EB5-Tiny evaluation board with an FPGA adapter with Xilinx or Altera FPGA
