TMSSN1 478 Pin Socket Hardware Support
Getting Started
Getting Started
This section contains information on the TMSSN1 478 Pin Socket hardware
support package and information on connecting the logic analyzer to the target
system.
Support Package Description
The probe adapter is nonintrusive hardware that allows the logic analyzer to
acquire data from a microprocessor in the operating environment with little effect
on the target system.
The probe adapter is an interposer design. The probe adapter connects to the
target system, and then the microprocessor connects to the probe adapter. Signals
from the microprocessor-based system flow through the probe adapter into the
P6434 probes and through the probe cables to the logic analyzer.
Support Software Compatibility
The probe adapter is compatible with the TMS116 IA32G7 software support
package that provides timing analysis capabilities, synchronous transactions, and
instruction decoding.
Logic Analyzer Configuration
To use the TMSSN1 478 Pin Socket hardware support package you need a
Tektronix logic analyzer equipped with a minimum of three, 136-channel,
200 MHz merged modules for the IA32G7 support and a minimum of two,
136-channel, 200 MHz merged modules for the IA32G7_T. Both software
support packages may be used in parallel in one logic analyzer mainframe.
However, this is not a requirement.
The modules must be configured and merged as shown in Figure 1--1. The
memory depth is chosen based on the shallowest memory depth of the three
modules. The master module must have the deeper memory depth.
The TMSSN1 478 Pin Socket hardware and software package is compatible only
with version 3.2 or later Tektronix logic analyzer application software.
The probe adapter requires a minimum of twelve P6434 Mass Termination
Probes.

Probe Adapter Review
The term “Master module” refers to the middle module of a 3-way merge. The
term “Slave module” refers to the module in the higher numbered slot than the
master module. The term “Slave 2” module refers to the module in the lower
numbered slot than the master module.
CAUTION. To keep the microprocessor from overheating, a forced air cooling
solution must be used.
Review the information on basic operations of microprocessor support packages
that is included with each logic analyzer product. Each logic analyzer includes
information that describes how to perform tasks common to support packages on
that platform. This information can be in the form of the logic analyzer online
help, an installation manual, or a user manual.
Also, review electrical, environmental, and mechanical specifications in
Specifications on page 2--1 as they pertain to the target system, as well as the
following TMSSN1 478 Pin Socket probe adapter information.

System Clock Rate
Acquisition before Reset
BCLK
Data Bus
Address Bus
Disabling the Cache
The probe adapter can acquire data from the 478 Pin Socket microprocessor
operating at BCLK speeds of up to 133 MHz.
Contact the Tektronix sales representative for current information on the fastest
devices supported.
The data acquired by the logic analyzer will be inaccurate, if this data is acquired
just before a power on Reset signal is observed by the target system.
Refer to the BCLK specifications and restrictions listed on page 2--6, in the
Specifications section.
The probe adapter supports only a quad-pumped data bus.
The probe adapter supports only a double-pumped address bus.
The cache bus is not monitored, therefore, the cache must be disabled. Disabling
the cache makes all instruction prefetches visible on the bus so they can be
acquired, displayed, and correctly disassembled.
Data Skew viewed at the
Timing Mictors
Labeling P6434 Probes
On the timing mictors, all data is skewed from the clock by
approximately --900 ps. This means that when you use an oscilloscope, you will
see the data changing approximately 900 ps earlier than you should as compared
to the FSB clock. However, there is one exception; the RESET# signal is
approximately 500 ps earlier than the FSB clock. The data skew seen when using
the oscilloscope does not affect the state acquisitions in any way.
The TMSSN1 478 Pin Socket hardware support package relies on the standard
channel mapping and labeling scheme for P6434 probes. Apply labels using the
standard method described in the P6434 Mass Termination Probe Instructions.

Verifying Probe Operation
If you have trouble using the probe adapter to acquire data from the target
system, you can use the following check list to ensure that the probe adapter and
probe-head cables are working correctly.
WARNING. To prevent personal injury or damage to the preprocessor unit, cables
and fans need to be replaced by qualified service personnel only.
There are no operator serviceable parts inside the cover of the preprocessor unit.
Refer servicing of internal parts in the preprocessor unit to Tektronix authorized
personnel only.
1. Check that power is supplied to the preprocessor unit by observing the
lighted green LED on the front of the case. If the LED is not lighted:
HCheck that the power switch on the back of the preprocessor unit is
powered on. If powered off, a 0 (zero) is visible on the switch.
HCheck that the AC power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet that
you know is working properly.
HIf the LED is still not lighted, unplug the unit from the electrical outlet
and call a Tektronix Service representative. Only authorized service
personnel can open the preprocessor unit to check the probe head cable
connections.
2. Check that the phase-locked loop of the probe adapter is set to the proper
frequency range. Use the following procedure to determine the clock
frequency of the target system:
a. On top of the preprocessor unit, set the PLL-OFF jumper to the 2--3 pin
position (phase-locked loop is off).
b. Acquire the BCLK using MagniVu.
c. Calculate the frequency based on the rising or falling BCLK edges.
d. On top of the preprocessor unit, set the frequency select jumpers (S3, S2,
and S1) to the appropriate frequency range (see page 1--4).
e. On top of the preprocessor unit, set the PLL-OFF jumper to 1--2 position
(phase-lock loop on) if the frequency of the target system is within the
PLL range.
1--18
3. Check that the ASICs are being programmed by looking through the Mictor
connector openings on top of the preprocessor unit. If the ASICs are being
programmed, the six green “program-good” LEDs are visible and lighted. If
TMSSN1 478 Pin Socket Hardware Support
Getting Started
none of the LEDs are lighted, power off and on the probe adapter using the
power switch.
4. Check that signals are passing through the Mictor connectors by using the
following procedure:
a. Go to the Setup menu and select “show activity”.
b. Visually verify from the display that signals are transitioning on each
Mictor connector.
c. If the signals are not transitioning, you can wiggle the Mictor connector
on top of the preprocessor unit slightly to check that it is fully seated.
d. If the signals are still not transitioning, disconnect the Mictor probe from
that socket in the preprocessor unit and connect that Mictor probe into a
socket that indicates signal transitioning.
e. If the channels never transition:
HCheck the Mictor probe for bent contacts.

Circuit Description
This section contains specifications for the TMSSN1 478 Pin Socket hardware
support.
The TMSSN1 478 Pin Socket probe adapter hardware uses a custom ASIC to
preprocess all signals on the 478 Pin Socket microprocessor prior to the signals
being captured by the logic analyzer. The custom ASIC performs the following
functions:
HDeterministically synchronizes source-synchronous signals to BCLK
Latched Operation
The ASIC latches all signals on the 478 Pin Socket microprocessor. The latched
signals are processed in the ASIC according to their type. Following is a
description of each type:
4x Quad-Pumped Signals. These signals include D[63:00]# and DP[3:0]#. The
ASIC latches these signals using their dedicated strobes, STBP[3:0] and
STBN[3:0], and then performs four-way demultiplexing on these signals. The
ASIC also inverts the appropriate signals when the DBI[3:0] signals are active.
2x Double-Pumped Signals. These signals include A[53:03]# and AP[1:0]#. The
ASIC latches these signals using their dedicated strobes, ASTB[1:0], and then
performs two-way demultiplexing on these signals.
1x Common-Clock Signals. These signals include all of the remaining front-side
bus signals. The ASIC latches these signals using the rising edge of BCLK.

2--1
Specifications
Derived Signals
Signal Probing
Bus Tracking Logic
The TMSSN1 478 Pin Socket probe adapter hardware derives several custom
signals from the front-side bus signals captured by the ASIC. These signals are
used by the logic analyzer support software to provide clocking, transaction
phase linking, and disassembly. Following is a description of these custom
signals:
PHASE_D. This signal can be used by the logic analyzer to store only bus cycles
that contain active information. The PHASE_D signal is asserted when any of the
following signals are asserted: ADS#, DRDY#, INIT#, RESET#, RS[2:0]#, and
SNOOP_D.
TRACK_ERR_D. This signal is asserted whenever the request or snoop counters
exceed their maximum or a minimum value. This signal is also asserted when
ADS# has been observed active for two clock cycles in a row.
The 478 Pin Socket probe adapter uses passive series isolation to acquire data.
The 478 Pin Socket probe adapter uses a bus tracking PAL to aid the disassembly
software in linking various bus phases.
Common Clock
The IA32G7 software allows disassembly from a data bus operating at the
common clock rate specified in Table 2--1. The setup and hold sample points are
set to default timing numbers based on FSB specifications.
