Support Description
This chapter provides information on the following topics and tasks:
HA description of the TMS 109 microprocessor support package
HLogic analyzer software compatibility
HYour system under test requirements
HSupport restrictions
HHow to configure the probe adapter
HHow to connect to the system under test (SUT)
HHow to apply power to and remove power from the probe adapter
The TMS 109 microprocessor support package disassembles data from systems
that are based on the Intel P54C, P54CM, P55C, and P55CM microprocessors.
The support runs on a compatible Tektronix logic analyzer equipped with a
136-channel module or a 192-channel module.
Refer to information on basic operations to determine how many modules and
probes your logic analyzer needs to meet the minimum channel requirements for
the TMS 109 microprocessor support.
The TMS 109 supports the P54C, P54CM, P55C, and P55CM microprocessors in
a 296-pin PGA package.
The low-profile probe adapter requires a 192-Channel High-Density Probe to
make connections from the logic analyzer to your SUT.
A complete list of standard and optional accessories is provided at the end of the
parts list in the Replaceable Mechanical Parts chapter.
To use this support efficiently, you need to have the items listed in the information on basic operations as well as the P54/P55 Microprocessor User’s Manual,
Intel, 1997.
Information on basic operations also contains a general description of supports.

Getting Started
Logic Analyzer Software Compatibility
The label on the microprocessor support floppy disk states which version of logic
analyzer software the support is compatible with.
Logic Analyzer Configuration
To use the TMS 109 support, the Tektronix logic analyzer must be equipped with
either a 136-channel module or a 192-channel module at a minimum. The
module must be equipped with enough probes to acquire clock and channel data
from signals in your P54/P55-based system.
Refer to information on basic operations to determine how many modules and
probes the logic analyzer needs to meet the channel requirements.
Requirements and Restrictions
You should review the general requirements and restrictions of microprocessor
supports in the information on basic operations as they pertain to your SUT.
You should also review electrical, environmental, and mechanical specifications
in the Specifications chapter in this manual as they pertain to your system under
test, as well as the following descriptions of other P54/P55 support requirements
and restrictions.
System Clock Rate. The TMS 109 support can acquire data from the P54/P55
microprocessor at speeds of up to 66.66 MHz
SUT Power. Whenever the SUT is powered off, be sure to remove power from
the probe adapter. Refer to Applying and Removing Power at the end of this
chapter for information on how to remove power from the probe adapter.
Disabling the Instruction Cache. To disassemble acquired data, you must disable
the internal instruction cache. Disabling the cache makes all instruction
prefetches visible on the bus so they can be acquired and disassembled.
Cache Invalidation Cycles. Cache Invalidation addresses are not acquired.

Getting Started
AHOLD Signal. If the AHOLD signal is active (high) during a Writeback cycle (a
four cycle Burst Write), the acquired address is undefined.
Burst Cycles. The P54/P55 microprocessor expects the memory system to
increment addresses during a Burst cycle. When viewing disassembled data, the
disassembler synthesizes the addresses. When viewing state data, the addresses
appear to be identical.
Probe Mode Cycles. Probe Mode cycles are not identified.
Directory T able and Descriptor Table Reads and Writes. These reads and writes are
not disassembled.
Bus Anomalies. Some combinations of instructions and operating modes of the
microprocessor can cause additional cycles to be fetched. This behavior is
unpredicatable, not documented, and can cause the disassembler to misinterpret if
fetched cycles were or were not executed. This is most likely to occur during
Floating Point operations.
Configuring the Probe Adapter
There are five jumpers on each probe adapter. Table 1–1 lists the jumper
positions and functions.

Acquire the D/P# signal from an external source. If this jumper is left open, you must
route the D/P# signal to pin 1 of this jumper from an external source. This allows you to
probe your system from the Dual socket as long as the D/P# signal is accessible on the
system board.
The CLK jumper (J1155 on the conventional probe adapter or J1501 on the
low-profile probe adapter) should be placed in the ≥45 position to acquire data
from a system running at or faster than 45 MHz. The jumper should be placed in
the <45 position to acquire data from a system running slower than 45 MHz.
Figure 1–1 shows the location of J1155 on the conventional probe adapter;
Figure 1–2 shows the location of J1501 on the low-profile probe adapter.
The Disassembly/Timing jumper (J1160 on the conventional probe adapter or
J1500 on the low-profile probe adapter) should be placed in the D position to
acquire disassembled data and in the T position to acquire timing data.
Table 1–2 shows how to position this jumper depending on the type of clocking

Tracking Jumper
Address Synthesis
Jumper
The Tracking jumper (J1165 on the conventional probe adapter or J1401 on the
low-profile probe adapter) should not need to be moved from the default position
(pins 1 and 2 connected).
The only time this jumper should be moved is when the tracking circuitry
malfunctions. An indication of such a malfunction is when you see activity on
the bus during a BOFF or HLDA cycle that is uncharacteristic of the P54/P55
microprocessor. When the jumper is in the 2, 3 position, the circuitry on the
probe adapter does not track BOFF and HLDA cycles. A data sample will show
that such a cycle occurred but it will not contain meaningful information.
This jumper only affects the probe adapter when the Disassembly/Timing jumper
(J1160 on the conventional probe adapter or J1500 on the low-profile probe
adapter) is in the D position.
Figure 1–1 shows the location of J1165 on the conventional probe adapter;
Figure 1–2 shows the location of J1401 on the low-profile probe adapter.
When the Address Synthesis jumper (J1170 on the conventional probe adapter or
J1400 on the low-profile probe adapter) is in position 1, 2, A(2:0) are derived
from the BE(7:0)# signals and stored in the acquisition memory with the rest of
the address.
D/P# Signal Jumper
When the jumper is in position 2, 3, it disables address synthesis, A(2:0)=0.
Figure 1–1 shows the location of J1170 on the conventional probe adapter;
Figure 1–2 shows the location of J1400 on the low-profile probe adapter.
When the D/P# signal jumper (J1340 on the conventional probe adapter or J1404
on the low-profile probe adapter) is in the 1, 2 position, the D/P# signal is
acquired from pin AE35 of the socket being probed.
When the jumper is open (not connected), it acquires the D/P# signal from an
external source, and you will have to route the D/P# signal to pin 1 of this jumper
externally. This allows you to probe your system from the dual socket as long as
the D/P# signal is accessible on the SUT.
Figure 1–1 shows the location of J1340 on the conventional probe adapter;
Figure 1–2 shows the location of J1404 on the low-profile probe adapter.

Connecting to a System Under Test
Before you connect to the SUT, you must connect the probes to the module.
Your SUT must also have a minimum amount of clear space surrounding the
microprocessor to accommodate the probe adapter. Refer to the Specifications
chapter in this manual for the required clearances.
The channel and clock probes shown in this chapter are for a 136-channel
module. The probes will look different if you are using a 192-channel module.
The general requirements and restrictions of microprocessor supports in the
information on basic operations shows the vertical dimensions of a channel or
clock probe connected to square pins on a circuit board.
Getting Started
Conventional Probe
Adapter
To connect the logic analyzer to a SUT using a conventional PGA probe adapter,
follow these steps:
1. Turn off power to your SUT. It is not necessary to turn off power to the logic
analyzer.
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage the microprocessor, the probe adapter,
the probes, or the module. To prevent static damage, handle all of the above only
in a static-free environment.
Always wear a grounding wrist strap or similar device while handling the
microprocessor and probe adapter.
2. To discharge your stored static electricity, touch the ground connector located
on the back of the logic analyzer. Then, touch any of the ground pins of the
probe adapter to discharge stored static electricity from the probe adapter.
3. Place the probe adapter onto the antistatic shipping foam to support the probe
as shown in Figure 1–3. This prevents the circuit board from flexing and the
socket pins from bending.
4. Remove the microprocessor from your SUT.
5. Line up the pin 2B indicator on the probe adapter board with the pin 2B
indicator on the microprocessor.
CAUTION. Failure to correctly place the microprocessor into the probe adapter
might permanently damage the microprocessor once power is applied.
6. Place the microprocessor into the probe adapter as shown in Figure 1–3.

Low-Profile Probe Adapter
with a High-Density Probe
Figure 1–5: Placing the conventional probe adapter onto the SUT
If a probe adapter has one or two high-density cables (probe adapter does not
have pins to which the channel and clock probes connect), the probe adapter
requires a high-density probe to make connections between the logic analyzer
and a SUT.
To connect the logic analyzer to a SUT using the low-profile PGA probe adapter
and a high-density probe, follow these steps:
1. Turn off power to your SUT. It is not necessary to turn off power to the logic
analyzer.
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage the microprocessor, the low-profile probe
adapter, the probes, or the module. To prevent static damage, handle all of the
above only in a static-free environment.
Always wear a grounding wrist strap or similar device while handling the
microprocessor and low-profile probe adapter.
