Emulation Probe—At a Glan e
This manual describes how to set up several emulation products: an emulation
probe, an emulation module, and an emulation migration.
The emulation probe provides a low-cost way to debug embedded software for
Motorola M•CORE family microprocessors. The emulation probe lets you use
the target processor’s built-in debugging features, including: run control,
register access, and memory access. high-level source debugger can use the
emulation probe to debug code running on the target system.
The emulation probe can be controlled by a debugger on a host computer or
by the Emulation Control Interface on an gilent 16700-series logic analysis
system.
E5900B Emulation Probe
The emulation probe communicates with a host computer or logic analysis
system via L N.

E5901B Emulation Module Kit
The gilent E5901B emulation module kit includes the E5900B emulation
probe, the E5901B emulation module, and other items listed on page 20. The
gilent E5901B emulation module plugs into your gilent 16700-series logic
analysis system frame. It provides power, cross triggering, and limited
communication for the E5900B emulation probe through the module/probe
interconnect cable. The logic analysis system communicates with the target
system through the L N connection to the E5900B emulation probe.
E5902B Emulation Migration
The emulation migration includes the parts needed to use an emulation probe
for a new processor family.
