Regulatory Compliance
ICE-100B emulators are designed to be used solely in a laboratory envi-
ronment. The emulator is not intended to be used in any end products or
as a portion of an end product. The emulators may cause interference to
other electronic devices operating at close proximity. The emulators
should not be used in or near any medical equipment or RF devices.
The ICE-100B emulators have been certified to comply with the essential
requirements of the European EMC directive 89/336/EEC (inclusive
93/68/EEC) and, therefore, carries the “CE” mark.
The ICE-100B emulators have been appended to
Analog Devices Development Tools Technical
Construction File referenced “DSPTOOLS1” dated
December 21, 1997 and was awarded CE Certifica-
tion by an appointed European Competent Body
and is on file.
The ICE-100B emulator contains ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive
devices. Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the human body and
equipment and can discharge without detection. Permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high-energy discharges. Proper ESD precau-
tions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of func-
tionality. Store unused ICE-100B emulators in the protective shipping
package.

Contents of Emulator Package
1-2 ICE-100B Emulator User Guide
Contents of Emulator Package
The ICE-100B emulator package contains the following items:
• ICE-100B emulator
• 2-meter USB Standard-A to mini-B cable
PC Configuration
For correct operation of the ICE-100B emulator, your computer must
have the minimal configuration:
• Windows XP or Windows Vista
• VisualDSP++ 5.0 Update 7 (or higher)
USB Installation Tasks
Perform the following tasks to safely install your ICE-100B emulator.
Follow these instructions in the presented order to ensure correct
operation of your software and hardware.
1. Install VisualDSP++ 5.0 Update 7 (or higher). VisualDSP++
includes the USB driver needed for the ICE-100B emulator hard-
ware. VisualDSP++ can be installed on Windows XP or Windows
Vista. Refer to the Installation Quick Reference Card for details.


ICE-100B Emulator User Guide 1-3
Getting Started
Note: If you connect the ICE first, before installing VisualDSP++,
the Windows driver wizard will not be able to find the drivers to
install for the emulator to function.
2. Select the operating voltage of the target DSP JTAG interface. The
ICE-100B emulator ships with a jumper on positions 1 and 3, and
2 and 4, by default.

Refer to Table 1-1 and Figure 1-1.
3. Ensure that JP2 does not have a jumper across the pins for
Windows mode. Refer to Table 1-2. There may be a jumper
hanging off one pin; this will not impact operation.
Table 1-1. Specifying the Operating Voltage
Target Voltage JP1 Settings (Installed Jumpers)
3.3 volts 1 and 3, 2 and 4
2.5 volts 1 and 2, 3 and 4
1.8 volts 3 and 5, 2 and 4
Figure 1-1. JP1 Pinout

USB Installation Tasks
1-4 ICE-100B Emulator User Guide
4. Connect the USB cable between the ICE-100B emulator and a
USB port of your computer.
5. Verify driver installation. Refer to “Verifying Driver Installation”
on page 1-4.
Before connecting to a target, see the power-up/down procedures
in “Attaching to the Emulation Target” on page 1-6.
Verifying Driver Installation
Before using the ICE-100B emulator, verify that the driver software is
installed properly.
Open the Windows Device Manager and verify that the ICE-100B
emulator appears under ADI Development Tools, as shown in Figure 1-2

Attaching to the Emulation Target
The final step is to connect the 14-pin header (J1) of the ICE-100B emu-
lator to the target board via the JTAG interface. The 14-pin connector is
keyed at pin 3 on the emulator connector to ensure that the signals mate
correctly with the 14-pin target emulation header. The target board
should also have pin 3 of the JTAG interface connector cut. Refer to
Figure 1-3 for J1 pinout information.

Getting Started
Powering Up/Down the ICE-100B Emulator
To power up the ICE-100B emulator:
1. Apply power to the target board.
2. Connect the USB port on the computer to the ICE-100B emula-
tor.

The ICE-100B is a bus-powered device, so this step powers the
emulator.
3. Connect the ICE-100B emulator JTAG connector to the target
JTAG header.
4. Invoke VisualDSP++.
To power down the ICE-100B emulator:
1. Shut down (exit) VisualDSP++.
2. Disconnect the USB cable between the ICE-100B emulator and
the PC.
3. Power down the target board.
The “PWR” LED (power LED) should be green when power is
applied and the board is not in hibernate state.
4. The ICE-100B emulator can now be removed from the target.
For custom processor boards still in design, refer to Engineer-to-Engineer
Note, Analog Devices JTAG Emulation Technical Reference (EE-68),
available from the Analog Devices Web site. This document is a technical
reference for implementing the JTAG interface on your target.
The emulator hardware is ready to be used in conjunction with
VisualDSP++ to debug a processor target system.

VisualDSP++ Configurator
1-8 ICE-100B Emulator User Guide
VisualDSP++ Configurator
VisualDSP++ requires a description of the platform (JTAG chain). The
platform definition is necessary for VisualDSP++ to communicate with
the hardware through the emulator.
The VisualDSP++ Configurator and ICE Test utilities allow configuration
and testing of the emulator hardware. ICE Test provides emulator detec-
tion and JTAG interface testing. Use the ICE Test to test the target. If
errors are encountered, they are reported immediately and the test ends.
Refer to VisualDSP++ online Help for information about the
VisualDSP++ Configurator and the ICE Test utility
JTAG Frequency
The ICE-100B emulator supports JTAG clock operation at 5 MHz. There
is a relationship between the JTAG frequency and the core clock fre-
quency of the processor. The core clock should be at least twice the JTAG
frequency in order for the JTAG interface to operate properly. On newer
Analog Devices processors, the core clock is a variable that is sometimes
set by switches or by software.
If the core/JTAG clock relation is not followed, scan failures may
prevent the emulator from connecting to the processor.

Troubleshooting and Warranty
Information
To provide comprehensive troubleshooting advice and warranty
information for all emulator and EZ-KIT Lite products, Analog Devices
maintains an Engineer-to-Engineer Note to provide this information.
Emulator and EZ-KIT Lite Evaluation System Troubleshooting Guide
(EE-175), is available online at: http://www.analog.com
This EE-Note can be used to resolve most installation, connection, and
software issues affecting the use of Analog Devices in-circuit emulators
(ICEs) and EZ-KIT Lite evaluation systems, avoiding the need to return
the suspected faulty emulator or EZ-KIT Lite board. Please carry out all
troubleshooting steps outlined in this document before contacting Analog
Devices Processor Tools Support.
Also included in this EE-Note, you will find complete warranty and
return material authorization (RMA) information for emulators and
EZ-KIT Lite products. In general, emulators less than one year old are
within warranty, and repairs within that period are free of charge, but
there are some limitations to this warranty coverage. For details, see the
EE-Note.
