iC5000 Base Unit
The iC5000 base unit is the heart of the iC5000 on-chip emulation system.
There are three status LEDs on the iC5000 Base Unit. The status LEDs inform the user of the current status of
the emulation system. Their meaning is:
•– When lit, the unit is turned on
•R – When lit, the target application being controlled is running
•F – When lit, the unit is free for communication, i.e. winIDEA can connect to it.
Powering the emulator
A round 3-pin power connector is located on the rear of the iC5000 base unit.

The iC5000 unit accepts a wide input voltage range from 12V to 24V DC, thus enabling the Emulator to work
also with a 12V or 24V car battery. The necessary power supply is delivered beside the iC5000 unit.
Note: Use only original iSYSTEM accessories for powering the iC5000. If you wish to use a power supply
different from the delivered one, please consult with iSYSTEM first.

iC5000 Debug/Trace Module (JTAG/BDM)
iC5000 Base Unit in conjunction with the iC50020 Debug/Trace module is a universal on-chip emulation
platform. Additionally, a connecting cable (40-pin flat cable), a target specific cable adapter and architecture
specific license is required to debug the target based on a specific architecture.
Valid input voltage range for all debug signals is between 1.8 - 5.5V
Note: Typically, IC50000 and IC50020 module already come assembled together when delivered to the user.
The user only needs to connect a specific cable adapter via 40-pin flat cable, through which then the
development system connects to the target.

16-bit Nexus (IC50152) and 16-bit ETM (IC50115) cable adapters come with two flat cables (30-pin and 40-pin)
pre-attached. With these, 40-pin flat cable, which is shipped next to the Debug/Trace module (IC50020), is not
required. Note that these two debug cable adapters require iC5000 Debug/Trace module revision D or newer.
Note that they cannot be connected to the older revisions.

Using grounding wire
In case of the on-chip emulation, it has been proven that a development tool can be damaged at the moment
when the emulator's debug connector is plugged into the target system when neither the target nor the emulator
are powered up yet. At this point in time, there could be ground potential difference between the emulator and
the target way over 1000V. Such voltage difference is then discharged over the emulator and the target, which
can destroy electronic components of the emulator and/or the target.
The voltage difference can be introduced by:
•power supply (target, emulator), which does not have the power outlet ground connected with the power
supply ground.
•power outlets which have different ground potentials
•PC, when iC5000 connects to the PC through the USB port
Connecting a dedicated grounding wire, which is shipped with the iC5000 unit, between the iC5000 system and
the target before the target debug cable adapter is connected to the target, makes the complete development
system even more robust and resistant to the mentioned electrical discharge problem - despite the fact the iC5000
development system features already a high quality protection on all connecting signals by default.

Licenses
iC5000 introduces a new licensing model. As with all iSYSTEM tools, winIDEA license is required. Valid
winIDEA license also includes iSYSTEM technical support service, either by phone or by e-mail
[e-mail].
Besides winIDEA, at least one CPU architecture license is required in order to connect to the target
microcontroller via debug interface. Advanced functionalities such as trace, profiling and code coverage become
available via trace license. Make sure that the target debug connector to which ic5000 system connects, exposes
microcontroller trace port (ETM, Nexus, …) when trace functionality is required.
iSYSTEM development tools feature a hardware based license scheme, which saves costs comparing to per-seat
based licenses. All licenses are kept in the iC5000 development system, which conveniently allows moving
iC5000 unit from one development seat to another.
When new iC5000 system is shipped from iSYSTEM, CPU architecture and trace licenses are preprogrammed
by the iSYSTEM test department. With such a new system, only winIDEA license needs to be requested from
iSYSTEM after receiving the iC5000 system. Additional CPU architecture license, which are purchased later,
must be programmed by the user.
Below picture shows the sticker, which can be found on iC5000 system, identifying which CPU architecture
licenses were preprogrammed by the iSYSTEM test department. Below picture shows preprogrammed Cortex-
M3 and MPC56xx licenses.

Communication
iC5000 supports two types of communication: 10/100M Ethernet and USB 1.1/2.0. It is recommended to use
USB2.0 interface since it provides the fastest transfer from the iC5000 development system to the PC where
winIDEA IDE runs. This will guarantee a maximum performance of the iC5000 development system.
Specify the communication port through which the iC5000 unit connects to the PC in the
Hardware/Hardware/Communication tab.
Hardware Configuration dialog, Communication page
•Universal Serial Bus (USB) - select when the Emulator is attached to the PC's USB port. The Emulator is
selected in the Device pull-down menu. When the Emulator is connected to the USB port of a computer for
the first time, Windows will detect a new device and prompt you for the driver for it. Specify the path to the
USB directory in the winIDEA installation directory or the distribution CD. If only one emulator is
connected to a PC via USB then Device combo box can be left empty (recommended). In this case if
you exchange the emulator with another one, you don’t have to change communication settings.
•TCP/IP – This option sets the TCP/IP properties of the iC5000. See ‘Setting up TCP/IP communication’
section for more details on TCP/IP setup.
Use the 'Test' button to test the communication settings.

Setting up TCP/IP communication
If the Emulator is connected using the Ethernet, its TCP/IP settings must be configured on both sides: the
Emulator and in winIDEA.
More information on configuring the Emulator and winIDEA can be found in the Hardware User’s Guide.
First step: Configuring the Emulator
The Emulator must be connected using an alternate option – either through the serial port, through the parallel
port or through USB. The connection must be set up in the ‘Hardware/Communication’ tab. Then, select the
‘Hardware/Hardware Type’ tab and click on the ‘System Configuration…’ button.
System configuration options
The TCP/IP settings can be obtained from the DHCP server on the network. If such a server is not available, the
settings can be set manually. In this case, in the TCP/IP Configuration window, the IP Address, the Subnet Mask
and the TCP Port must be specified. The default gateway address must be specified, if the Emulator is used via a
gateway. The IP Address, available for the Emulator to use, the Subnet Mask and the default gateway, if needed,
are usually defined by your network administrator. The TCP Port can be any port between 1024 and 65535,
which is not already used. By default, the TCP port 5313 is used. For the information, if this port address could
cause any conflicts and for an alternative port address, also contact your network administrator. When the correct
settings are entered, click on the ‘Apply changes’ button. This writes the changes to the Emulator.
If you want winIDEA to use these settings, press the “Use this communication settings” button. Then, close the
System configuration window.
The Emulator must be switched off and then on again in order for changes to take effect.
Emulator’s MAC address is written on the same sticker where you will also find device serial number as it is
shown on the next picture.

iSYSTEM, January 2012 10/41
Second step: Configuring
There are two ways of configuring TCP/IP in winIDEA: manually or by automatic discovery.
•Manual Configuration
Select the Hardware/Communication tab.
Hardware/Communication tab
If the “Use this communication settings” button was used when configuring the Emulator, these settings should
already be set as required. If this option was not used, select the TCP/IP button and enter the IP Address and the
TCP Port, as entered above into the Emulator. Connect the Emulator to the Ethernet, if not already connected,
and click on the ‘Test’ button. The communication should be up and running.
•Configuration with Automatic Discovery
Select the Hardware/Communication tab.
