 Getting Started

Installation Tasks
Perform the following tasks to safely install your USB- or PCI-based
emulator. Follow these instructions in the presented order to ensure
correct operation of your software and hardware.

Installing USB-Based Emulators

1. Install VisualDSP++. VisualDSP++ includes the USB driver needed
for your USB emulation hardware. If VisualDSP++ is already
installed, you do not need to install it again. VisualDSP++ can be
installed on Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista.
Refer to the Installation Quick Reference Card for details.

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. Connect the USB cable between the USB assembly and a USB port
of your computer.
3. 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 the Cable to the Emulation Target” on page 1-6.

HPUSB, USB, and HPPCI Emulators User’s Guide 1-3

Installation Tasks

Installing PCI-Based Emulators

1. Install the HPPCI-ICE hardware. For instructions on installing a
PCI card into your computer, consult the documentation provided
by the computer manufacturer.
2. Install VisualDSP++. VisualDSP++ includes the HPPCI driver
needed for your PCI emulation hardware. VisualDSP++ can be
installed on Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista.

Attaching the Cable to the Emulation Target

Attaching the Cable to the Emulation

Target
The final step is to connect the 14-pin header side of the pod cable to the
target board via the debug interface. The 14-pin connector is keyed at
pin 3 on the pod cable to ensure that the cable sits correctly on the 14-pin
target emulation header. The target board should also have pin 3 keyed.

 Never connect or disconnect a USB emulator JTAG header,

whether powered up or not, to/from a powered target.
The following procedures apply only to USB-based emulators.
Powering Up/Down an HPUSB or USB Emulator
To power up the USB-based emulator:
1. Apply power to target board.
2. Apply power to ICE.
3. Connect the USB cable between the ICE and the PC.
4. Invoke VisualDSP++.
To power down the USB-based emulator:
1. Shut down (exit) VisualDSP++.
2. Disconnect the USB cable between the ICE and the PC.

1-6 HPUSB, USB, and HPPCI Emulators User’s Guide

 Getting Started

3. Power down the ICE.

4. Power down the target board.

 Ifwhen
the emulator has an “Enable/Power” LED, this should be green
power is applied. It should be amber when connected to a
session or the ICE Test utility is being used.

If the emulator has an “Enable” LED only, this should be amber
when connected to a session or while the ICE Test utility is being
used.

At all other times, this LED should be off.
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
VisualDSP++ requires a description of your platform (JTAG chain). The
platform definition is necessary for VisualDSP++ to communicate with
the hardware through the emulator.
The VisualDSP++ Configurator’s ICE Test utility allows you to configure
and test your emulator hardware. ICE Test provides emulator detection,
JTAG I/O voltage selection, and JTAG frequency selection. Use the ICE
Test to test the target. If errors are encountered, they are reported imme-
diately and the test ends. Each error message recommends a solution to
the problem.

HPUSB, USB, and HPPCI Emulators User’s Guide 1-7

JTAG Frequency Selection

Refer to VisualDSP++ online Help for information about the

VisualDSP++ Configurator and the ICE Test utility.

JTAG Frequency Selection

High-Performance PCI-ICE and High-Performance USB-ICE emulators
support a JTAG clock operation up to 50 MHz. USB-ICE emulators
support a JTAG clock operation of 10 MHz.
There is a relationship between the JTAG frequency and the core clock
frequency of the processor. Typically, the core clock runs at a frequency
that is more than 2x the JTAG clock’s frequency. On newer Analog
Devices processors, the core clock is a variable that is sometimes set by
switches or by software.

 Ifprevent
the core/JTAG clock relation is not followed, scan failures may
the emulator from connecting to the processor.
Choosing the JTAG Frequency Selection from the Settings menu in
VisualDSP++ opens the JTAG Frequency Selection dialog box shown in
Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3. The dialog box is used to change the rate at
which the JTAG Test Clock signal (TCK) runs.

 Not all frequencies listed above appear for all processor families.
The displayed frequencies depend upon the processor family.
The tests listed in the Status box are run when you click the Test button
on the JTAG Frequency Selection dialog box. The blue arrow points to
the frequency currently being used. The arrow does not change after you
run the tests because pressing the Cancel button goes back to using the
frequency pointed to by the blue arrow. To use a different frequency,
select the appropriate frequency from the list and click Test. Clicking OK
uses the frequency that is highlighted and that has already been tested.
Table 1-1 lists and describes each of the available options.

Item Description

Select frequency (MHz) Selects the frequency to run TCK.

Status Updates status of the tests indicated within the test group. The test
status indicator can show a “running” icon, “not running” icon, “pass”
icon, or “fail” icon, depending on the test status.

Test Tests the selected frequency by running the tests in the Status group.
NOTE: If tests fail, you may have to shut down VisualDSP++ and
restart your session.

OK Saves the selected frequency. This should only be highlighted if all the
tests have passed.
Cancel Continues using the frequency pointed to by the blue arrow.

 Iffrequency,
you encounter a problem launching VisualDSP++ at a certain
delete your debug session in VisualDSP++ and create a
new debug session. This will set TCK back to the default value of
10 MHz.

HPPCI JTAG I/O Voltage Detection

The mode of operation supported by the PCI emulator is dependent on
the connection method used for the 14-pin JTAG header on your target.
Figure 1-4 and Figure 1-5 show how the target JTAG header connects for
legacy and auto detection modes.

HPUSB/USB Legacy Mode

Legacy mode is used for older targets that do not provide a target VDDIO
input for automatic voltage detection by the emulator. In this mode, the
voltage at which the JTAG signals run is set manually through Visu-
alDSP++ via the VisualDSP++ Configurator utility. The configurator
utility provides a voltage selection setting when configuring the target.

HPPCI JTAG I/O Voltage Detection

 HPUSB-ICE and USB-ICE emulators do not support auto voltage

detection mode.

HPPCI-ICE Legacy/Auto Detection Mode

The factory default for the pod shown in Figure 1-6 is legacy mode. For
more information about available modes, refer to “Auto Detection Mode”
on page 1-14.
In order to modify the factory default setting, remove the four screws on
the bottom of the plastic enclosure. When opening the case, first remove
the top of the enclosure with the top facing up. This must be done to
ensure that the four light pipes used for the LEDs are not damaged. The
default pod setting is shown in Figure 1-7. To determine whether the
default setting of your HPPCI-ICE needs to be modified, refer to “Legacy
Mode (Factory Default Setting)”.

 Getting Started

Figure 1-7. Default Switch Setting for HPPCI-ICE Pod

Legacy Mode (Factory Default Setting)

Legacy mode is used for older targets that do not support voltages less
than 3.3V and do not provide an IOVDD input for automatic voltage
detection by the pod. Consequently, the emulator in legacy mode is used
for all previously designed 3.3V and 5V target boards. The HPPCI-ICE is
3.3V compliant and 5.0V tolerant in this mode and accepts both 3.3V
and 5.0V signals but only drives 3.3V CMOS level signals. In legacy
mode, the LED labeled 3.3/5V is lit.
The emulator is set to Legacy mode before leaving the factory. The switch
must be set in the manner shown in Figure 1-8 to verify that the emulator
is in legacy mode, or to change the emulator to legacy mode.

HPPCI JTAG I/O Voltage Detection

Figure 1-8. Legacy Switch Setting for HPPCI-ICE Pod

Auto Detection Mode

Auto detection mode is recommended for all newly designed target
boards. This mode supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V target boards.
PCI-based emulators are 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V-compliant in auto
detection mode. This means that the emulator can accept 1.8V, 2.5V, and
3.3V signals and can also drive the respective 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V
CMOS level signals. The emulator is also 5V tolerant. Consequently, the
emulator accepts 5V signals and drives 3.3V signals to the target.
In auto detection mode, the emulator samples the target VDDIO signal
(pin 5 on the JTAG header) and drives the JTAG signals from the emula-
tor at the sampled voltage. The respective 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3/5V LED also
lights up to indicate the voltage at which the JTAG signals are driven.

2 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

This chapter describes the hardware design of the USB- and PCI-based
emulators.

LEDs

HPUSB-ICE/USB-ICE LEDs
Four LEDs are located on the enclosure:
• 1.8V LED – Signifies that the ICE drives all signals at 1.8V
compliant levels.
• 2.5V LED – Signifies that the ICE drives all signals at 2.5V
compliant levels.
• 3.3/5V LED – Signifies that the ICE drives all signals at 3.3V
compliant levels.
• ENABLE – This LED is amber when the debugger is enabled. This
means that the emulator is driving the JTAG signals, and the con-
nector must not remove or plug onto a target when the light is
amber. When the LED is green, the JTAG signals are not being
driven, and it is safe to connect to a target. The green LED indi-
cates that the board is powered up but not in emulation mode.

HPUSB, USB, and HPPCI Emulators User’s Guide 2-1

LEDs

HPPCI-ICE LEDs
Four LEDs are located on the pod enclosure (Figure 2-1), and five LEDs
are located on the daughter board (Figure 2-2).

Pod LEDs

Figure 2-1. Pod LEDs

• 1.8V LED – In auto detection mode, this LED signifies that a

target VDDIO of 1.8V has been detected on the JTAG header
(pin 5) on the processor target board, and the HPPCI-ICE drives
all signals at 1.8V compliant levels.
• 2.5V LED – In auto detection mode, this LED signifies that a
target VDDIO of 2.5V has been detected on the JTAG header
(pin 5) on the processor target board, and the HPPCI-ICE drives
all signals at 2.5V compliant levels.

2-2 HPUSB, USB, and HPPCI Emulators User’s Guide

 Hardware Description

• 3.3/5V LED – In auto detection mode, this LED signifies that a

target VDDIO of 3.3V or 5V has been detected on the JTAG
header (pin 5) on the processor target board, and the HPPCI-ICE
drives all signals at 3.3V compliant levels. In legacy mode, this
LED is powered automatically, and pin 5 of the JTAG header on
the target board is not used to detect the target VDDIO voltage.
• ENABLE – This LED is turned on when a VisualDSP++ debug
session is running. This LED shuts off every time the VisualDSP++
session is closed. When this LED is off, it signifies all outputs of
the pod logic connected to the target have been three-stated.
Three-stating the outputs of the pod when VisualDSP++ is inactive
prevents the target processor from entering an unknown state dur-
ing the target power up sequencing.

Board LEDs

Figure 2-2. Board LEDs

HPUSB, USB, and HPPCI Emulators User’s Guide 2-3

Designing Custom Processor Boards

• VCC – This LED signifies that the board is receiving 5V power. If

this LED is not active, the HPPCI-ICE does not function properly.
• 3V – This LED signifies that the board is receiving 3.3V power. If
this LED is not active, the HPPCI-ICE does not function properly.
• FPGA[1:0] – These two LEDs are used for factory purposes only.
• DONE – This LED is activated when a VisualDSP++ debug ses-
sion is started. The LED should remain active even after the
respective session has been terminated. The LED shuts off and
re-activates at the beginning of every new VisualDSP++ session.

Designing Custom Processor Boards

When designing a custom processor board using Analog Devices
processors and DSPs, special care must be taken to ensure that the JTAG
interface is designed and laid out correctly. If the board is not designed
correctly, communication via the JTAG port may not work. Another side
effect may be that the interface works, but you are not able to run at the
highest possible JTAG clock frequency. The JTAG clock frequency is
dependant on the particular Analog Devices processor, as well as the delay
characteristics of the custom processor board.
To ensure that the custom board’s JTAG interface is designed and laid out
correctly, refer to Engineer-to-Engineer Note, Analog Devices JTAG Emu-
lation 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.

 Hardware Description

Mechanical Specifications

HPPCI-ICE
The HPPCI-ICE consists of a daughter board and a pod cable. The system
is compliant with revision 2.2 of the PCI specification and plugs into
5V-only motherboards. It uses only the 5 volts from the PC’s PCI slot.
The pod cable consists of a small PCB that has a multi-conductor cable
soldered at each end. The multi-conductor cable is constructed with indi-
vidual coaxial cables that are encapsulated by shield ground. The PCB in
the pod is fully enclosed in a copper-sprayed plastic enclosure. The
multi-conductor cables and copper spray reduce system noise and electro-
magnetic interference. The mechanical dimensions of the daughter board,
pod cable assembly, and pod enclosure are shown in Figure 2-3,
Figure 2-4, and Figure 2-5, respectively. Unless specified, all dimensions
are in inches.
