Product Introduction
1. Introduction
To minimise the development time and process, tenx technology exclusively designed
the IC emulator-TICE58. TICE58 was developed by tenx technology; it supports all IC
models in the TM58 series.
【TICE58 exterior】
※System Requirements:
1. IBM PC 486 compatible or above.
2. USB Port.
3. 64M memory space or above.
4. WINDOWS 2000/XP operating system.
※Features of TICE58:
1. USB port connection to computers, high-speed emulation.
2. With internal or external oscillator.
3. Ability to set up BreakPoint.
4. Internal and external RESET.
5. Hardware and software emulations.
6. Compiling, debugging and assembly can all be done with the software.
7. In addition to AUTO (GO) and (STEP), also provides STEP INTO function.

【Step 4】Choose path, and enter project name (for example: test.pj), then click save
button as shown below:
【Step 5】After clicking OK button, a screen with ‘IC Select’, ‘Configuration’ and
‘Add Source Code’ will appear (See below). (IC model needs to match the
corresponding POD board, please refer to related POD board)

【Step 6】Firstly, select IC model, then click to add Source Code (Here we add
TICE58 sample file, the path is C:\ProgramFiles\Tenx\TICE58\example
\AP-TM58XX_01S, <C: may be different due to various configurations>)
Select AP-TM58XX_01S.asm, and then press Open.

【Step 7】After ‘Add Source Code’ is finished, the screen comes back to configuration,
see below. For the sample program, our settings are:
Type: Advanced
FOSC: HS
WATCHDOG: DISABLE
After finishing with the settings, press
※External Clock:
To switch between internal/external clock, un-tick box for internal clock (the fixed internal
frequency is 4MHz). When using external clock, the figures of Y1, R1, C1 on TM58POD
board need to be adjusted, see table below:
Y1 R1 C1 C2
