2.1 Software
HT-IDE3000
The HT-IDE3000 is a simulation software specially developed for HOLTEK 8-bit MCUs. When
used together with OCDS EV chip, it will implement a series of operations such as single step,
full speed, breakpoint setting, RAM monitor, etc. Refer to the HT-IDE3000 User’s Guide for more
information.

2.2 Hardware
e-Link OCDS Emulation
The e-Link with HT-IDE3000 software can implement OCDS emulations. Only 4 pins are needed
to connect with the EV chip (IC with OCDS interface), which are VDD, GND, OCDSCK and
OCDSDA. The pin assignement is shown in the gure 1. If the AVDD and AVSS pins are existed
in the MCU, the AVDD pin must be connected together with VDD or other power supply, and the
AVSS pin must be connected together with VSS.

e-Link ICP Programming
The e-Link together with the HOPE3000 for e-Link software can implement programming MCUs,
which is suitable for engineering samples programming. Only 4 pins are needed to connect with the
MCU, which are VDD, GND, ICPCK and ICPDA. The pin assignement is shown in the gure 3. If
the AVDD and AVSS pins are existed in the MCU, the AVDD pin must be connected together with
VDD or other power supply, and the AVSS pin must be connected together with VSS.
