At all other times, the LED should be off.
For custom processor boards still in design, refer to the Engineer-to-Engineer Note, Analog Devices JTAG Emulation Technical Reference (EE-68),
available from the Analog Devices Web site. This document is a technicalreference for implementing the JTAG interface on your target.
Now the emulator hardware is ready to be used in conjunction with CCESor VisualDSP++ to debug a processor target system. See “Configurator
Software”.

Configurator Software
CrossCore Embedded Studio and VisualDSP++ development software
require a description of your platform (JTAG chain). The platform definition is necessary for the software to communicate with the hardware
through the emulator.
The VisualDSP++ and CCES include the target configurator utility toconfigure and test your emulator hardware. The target configurator provides emulator detection, JTAG I/O voltage selection, and JTAG
frequency selection. Use the ICE Test (part of the target configurator) totest the target. If any errors are encountered, the errors are reported immediately and the test ends. Each error message recommends a solution to
the problem.
Refer to the online help for information about “target configurator”,“JTAG frequency”, and “ICE test”.

JTAG Frequency Selection

JTAG Frequency Selection
USB-ICE emulators, high-performance PCI-ICE, and high-performance
USB-ICE emulators support a JTAG clock operation up to 50 MHz.
all frequencies listed above are supported for all processor fam Not
ilies. The displayed frequencies depend upon the processor family.
There is a relationship between the JTAG frequency and core clock frequency of the processor. Typically, the core clock runs at a frequency thatis more than 2x the JTAG clock’s frequency. On newer Analog Devices
processors, the core clock is a variable that sometimes is set by switches orsoftware.
the core/JTAG clock relation is not followed, scan failures can Ifpreventthe emulator from connecting to the processor.
Use the JTAG Frequency Selection dialog box to test and change the rate
at which the JTAG Test Clock signal (TCK) runs. To access the dialogbox:• CrossCore Embedded Studio users choose Target > Settings >JTAG Frequency Selection after launching a debug configuration.
• VisualDSP++ users choose Settings > JTAG Frequency Selection

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, thevoltage at which the JTAG signals run is set manually through the Configurator utility. The configurator utility provides a voltage selection setting
when configuring the target.

HPPCI JTAG I/O Voltage Detection

HPPCI-ICE Legacy/Auto Detection Mode
The factory default for the pod shown in Figure 1-4 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 toensure that the four light pipes used for the LEDs are not damaged. The
default pod setting is shown in Figure 1-5. To determine whether thedefault setting of your HPPCI-ICE needs to be modified, refer to “Legacy
Mode (Factory Default Setting)”.

HPUSB, USB, and HPPCI Emulators User’s GuideGetting Started

Figure 1-5. Default Switch Setting for HPPCI-ICE Pod

Legacy Mode (Factory Default Setting)Legacy mode is used for older targets that do not support voltages lessthan 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 1-6 to verify that the emulator
is in legacy mode, or to change the emulator to legacy mode.

HPPCI JTAG I/O Voltage Detection

Figure 1-6. 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, and3.3V signals and can also drive the respective 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V
CMOS level signals. The emulator is also 5V tolerant. Consequently, theemulator 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 emulator 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.
The emulator is set to legacy mode before leaving the factory. The switch
must be set in the manner shown in Figure 1-7 to verify that the emulator

is in auto detection mode, or to change the emulator to auto detection
mode.

LEDs

• 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. Thismeans that the emulator is driving the JTAG signals, and the connector must not remove or plug onto a target when the light isamber. When the LED is green, the JTAG signals are not being
driven, and it is safe to connect to a target. The green LED indicates that the board is powered up but not in emulation mode.

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).

• 3.3/5V LED – In auto detection mode, this LED signifies that atarget 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 CrossCore Embedded
Studio (CCES) or VisualDSP++ debug session is running. This
LED shuts off every time the session is closed. When this LED isoff, it signifies all outputs of the pod logic connected to the target
have been three-stated. Three-stating the outputs of the pod whenthe IDE is inactive prevents the target processor from entering an
unknown state during the target power up sequencing.

• 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 a CrossCore Embedded
Studio or VisualDSP++ debug session 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
session.

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 thehighest possible JTAG clock frequency. The JTAG clock frequency isdependant 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 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.

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 individual 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 electromagnetic interference.
