iceMASTER EVALUATION PROGRAMMING UNIT (EPU)
The iceMASTER EPU-COP888GG is a PC based, in-circuit
simulation tool to support the feature family COP8 products.
See Figure 15 for configuration.
The simulation capability is a very low cost means of evalu-
ating the general COP8 architecture. In addition, the EPU
has programming capability, with added adapters, for pro-
gramming the whole COP8 product family of OTP and
EPROM products. The product includes the following fea-
tures:
#
Non-real-time
in-circuit
simulation.
memory is PC resident; instructions are downloaded over
RS-232 as executed. Approximate performance is
20 kHz.
#
Includes a 40-pin DIP cable adapter. Other target pack-
ages are not supported. All processor I/O pins are ca-
bled to the application development environment.
#
Full 32 kbytes of loadable programming space that over-
lays (replaces) the on-chip ROM or EPROM. On-chip
RAM and I/O blocks are used directly or recreated as
necessary.
#
On-chip timer and WATCHDOG execution are not well
synchronized to the instruction simulation.
#
100 frames of synchronous trace memory. The display
can be HLL source (e.g., C source), assembly or mixed.
The most recent history prior to a break is available in the
trace memory.
#
Up to eight software configured break points; uses INTR
instruction which is modestly intrusive.
#
Common look-feel debugger software across all Meta-
Link productsDonly supported features are selectable.

#
Tool set integrated interactive symbolic debuggerDsup-
ports both assembler (COFF) and C Compiler (.COD)
SDK linked object formats.
#
Instruction by instruction memory/register changes dis-
played when in single step operation.
#
Processor specific symbolic display of registers and bit
level assignments, configured from master model file.
#
Halt/Idle mode notification. Restart requires special han-
dling.
#
Programming menu supports full product line of program-
mable OTP and EPROM COP8 products. Only a 40 ZIF
socket is available on the EPU unit. Adapters are avail-
able for other part package configurations.
#
Integral wall mount power supply provides 5V and devel-
ops the required V
PP
to program parts.
#
Includes a copy of COP8-DEV-IBMA assembler, linker
SDK.
