pls launches first emulation toolkits for 32-bit microcontrollers Infineon
TC1766ED and TC1796ED


Perfect solution simplifies significantly test and debugging


Lauta, May 2006 - pls Programmierbare Logik & Systeme offers as the first
authorised tool supplier complete emulation kits for Infineon´s 32-bit
microcontrollers TC1766ED and TC1796ED. The specialised emulation devices for
the high end 32-bit microcontrollers TC1766ED and TC1796ED are exclusively
available via selected Infineon tool partners and offer additionally to the
basic chip function a complete emulator on-chip which includes 512 Kbytes
memory for trace, profiling and calibration. The complex emulator logic
enables a focused monitoring of both integrated 32-bit controllers (TriCore
core and PCP) as well as all internal busses.


The emulation device toolkit EDTK1766 for the TC1766ED which is pin compatible
to the serial chip TC1766 is based on a test board. The chip is mounted via
soldering or removable in a socket. Furthermore the kit contains the debugger
software Universal Debug Engine (UDE), a Universal Access Device (UAD) for
fast access to the target via JTAG interface and the powerful Universal
Emulation Configurator (UEC). The latter provides the easy use of the on-chip
emulator via the graphical interface which enables the combination of the
parameterised function blocks based on a state machine.


For a fast start working with the EDTK1766 it contains ranked libraries for
standard measurements as well as for detecting complex application specific
errors. The user can combine, change or extend the libraries in XML format via
the graphical interface to fulfil special requirements.


The TC1796ED is not fully compatible to the serial version. Therefore the
Emulation Device Toolkit EDTK1796 features in difference to the EDTK1766
always a test board with a two-part socket.


Both plug-and-play emulation kits allow a fast and simple usage of the on-chip
emulator and guarantee an optimal efficiency in debugging. The offering is
completed with additional sockets and Emulation Devices which are individual
available as well as detailed application notes for integrating the kit into
the user specific hardware.
