This document lists available processor and bus support products from Agilent Technologies and complimentary vendors. Agilent and our partners provide an
extensive range of quality tools that offer non-intrusive,
full-speed, real-time analysis and processor execution
control to accelerate your debugging process. The following steps help you to determine the necessary products to meet your specific measurement needs.
Simply:
1. Determine if your device is supported (pg 5)
2. Select the products that meet your measurement
needs (pg 5)
3. Verify analyzer support and compatibility (pg 8)
The following provides information on how to use the
matrix starting on page 18 to accomplish each step.
1. Determine if your device is supported
• Use the “Device Coverage” section of the matrix
to find your processor, controller, bus, or programmable logic device. Processors are listed
alpha-numerically, except for Intel and
Motorola, where processors are grouped by
family.
• The value in the ‘Max Bus Clk MHz’ column
refers to the maximum supported external bus
speed for the processor. In most cases this is not
the speed of the processor.
Example: Pentium with MMX has core speeds up
to 233 MHz, but the external bus speed is 66 MHz.
• Supported package types are listed. In some
cases an inverse assembler is separately
available when the probing can be designed into
the target. Check the notes for available probing
application notes and product literature for
clearance requirements and target
considerations.
Contact Agilent Technologies if you do not see support
for your specific device . A sales representative can:
• determine if support is under development
• recommend third parties that design custom
solutions
• direct you to information on how to design a test
solution (refer to the probing section in this
document)
2. Select the product(s) that meet your measurement
needs.
The “Product Information” section of the matrix lists
the available products for each device. The diagrams
and tables on pages 6-7 give a high level overview of
what each product type includes, provides, and
requires as well as specifying compatibility.
The following describes the different measurement
modes.
Timing –Data is sampled at regular intervals by the
analyzer’s internal clock. The captured trace is displayed as waveforms (asynchronous).
State – Clocking is supplied by the system under test
and captured data is displayed as a sequential listing of
logical states (synchronous). Included inverse assemblers convert the real-time trace into processor
mnemonics.
Enhanced Inverse Assembler –Provides advanced filtering capabilities such as removal of unexecuted
prefetches and certain cycle types. The specific filtering capabilities are processor dependent. Refer to the
product literature for details.
Emulation – The product provides processor control
including break, run, reset and single step, code download, and register/memory modification.
Setup Assistant – A menu driven interface that guides
you through connecting and configuring a processor
measurement. This feature is available on the Agilent
16600A and 16700 series frames.
Contact Agilent or the Appropriate Third Party for Your
Selections
Contact an Agilent Technologies sales representative
to order the products you have selected or to obtain
more information. Agilent sales information as well as
third-party contact information is listed on pg 54.
