Preliminary Technical Data
DESIGNING AN EMULATOR-COMPATIBLE
PROCESSOR BOARD (TARGET)
The Analog Devices family of emulators are tools that every sys-
tem developer needs in order to test and debug hardware and
software systems. Analog Devices has supplied an IEEE 1149.1
JTAG Test Access Port (TAP) on each JTAG processor. The
emulator uses the TAP to access the internal features of the pro-
cessor, allowing the developer to load code, set breakpoints,
observe variables, observe memory, and examine registers. The
processor must be halted to send data and commands, but once
an operation has been completed by the emulator, the processor
system is set running at full speed with no impact on
system timing.
To use these emulators, the target board must include a header
that connects the processor’s JTAG port to the emulator.
For details on target board design issues including mechanical
layout, single processor connections, multiprocessor scan
chains, signal buffering, signal termination, and emulator pod
logic, see (EE-68) Analog Devices JTAG Emulation Technical
Reference on the Analog Devices website (www.analog.com)—

to keep pace with improvements to emulator support.
