    							ICE-100B Emulator User’s Guide 1-9 Getting Started
    vides emulator detection and JTAG I/O voltage selection. Use the ICE 
    Test (part of the target configurator) to test the target. If any errors are 
    encountered, the errors are reported immediately and the test ends. Each 
    error message recommends a solution to the problem.
    Refer to the online help for information about “target configurator”, 
    “JTAG frequency”, and “ICE test”.
    JTAG Frequency
    The ICE-100B emulator supports JTAG clock operation at 5 MHz. There 
    is a relationship between the JTAG frequency and the core clock fre-
    quency of the processor. The core clock should be at least twice the JTAG 
    frequency in order for the JTAG interface to operate properly. On newer 
    Analog Devices processors, the core clock is a variable set by switches or by 
    software. 
    If the core/JTAG clock relation is not followed, scan failures may 
    prevent the emulator from connecting to the processor.
    Troubleshooting and Warranty
    To provide comprehensive troubleshooting advice and warranty 
    information for all emulator and EZ-KIT Lite products, Analog Devices 
    maintains an Engineer-to-Engineer Note. Emulator and EZ-KIT Lite Eval-
    uation System Troubleshooting Guide (EE-175) is available online at: 
    http://www.analog.com.
    The EE-Note can be used to resolve most installation, connection, and 
    software issues affecting the use of Analog Devices in-circuit emulators 
    (ICEs) and EZ-KIT Lite evaluation systems, avoiding the need to return 
    the suspected faulty emulator or EZ-KIT Lite board. Please carry out all 
    troubleshooting steps outlined in this document before contacting Analog 
    Devices Processor Tools Support.  
    						
    							Troubleshooting and Warranty
    1-10 ICE-100B Emulator User’s GuideAlso included in the EE-Note, complete warranty and return material 
    authorization (RMA) information for emulators and EZ-KIT Lite prod-
    ucts. In general, emulators less than one year old are within warranty, and 
    repairs within that period are free of charge, but there are some limitations 
    to this warranty coverage. For details, see the note.

    2 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
    This chapter describes the hardware design of the ICE-100B emulator and 
    includes the following sections:
    “LEDs” on page 2-1
    Describes LEDs which inform you of the emulator’s status.
    “Resetting the Target” on page 2-2
    Describes how to reset the target.
    “Custom Processor Boards” on page 2-3
    Describes concerns regarding board lay out.
    “Mechanical Specifications” on page 2-4 
    Provides dimensional information.
    LEDs
    Three LEDs are located on the ICE-100B emulator (refer to Figure 2-1):
    
    PWR LED - The Power LED signifies that the ICE is powered. 
    
    MON LED - The Monitor LED signifies that the ICE is configured 
    over USB. 
    
    STAT LED - The Status LED signifies that the ICE is ignoring the 
    EMU signal. 
    						
    							Resetting the Target
    2-2 ICE-100B Emulator User’s Guide
    Resetting the Target
    When debugging remotely, the ability to reset the target can be very use-
    ful. Reset the target via the software or by soldering a wire from the 
    ICE-100B emulator to the target.
    To solder a wire from the ICE-100B emulator to the target:
     Two solder points labeled RESET (reference designator 
    P3) are 
    located near the JTAG connector (
    J1) and USB connector (P1) on 
    the ICE-100B (see Figure 2-2).
     For an active low version (
    ~RESET), solder a wire between the 
    square pad (pin 1) of 
    P3 and ~RESET input signal of the target.
     For an active high version (
    RESET), solder a wire between the round 
    pad (pin 2) and 
    RESET input signal of the target. Figure 2-1. LED Positions - Top of Emulator Board

    							ICE-100B Emulator User’s Guide 2-3 Hardware Description
    Figure 2-2 shows a portion of the ICE-100B emulator.
    To reset the target via the software, use the Reset Target command.
     CCES users choose Target > Debug > Reset Target.
     VisualDSP++ users choose Debug > Reset Target.
    The Reset Target command sends a reset pulse of the specified reset time 
    duration to the target and opens the Reset Target Options dialog box. See 
    the online help for the dialog box description. 
    Custom Processor Boards
    When designing a custom processor board using Analog Devices 
    processors and DSPs, special care must be taken to ensure that the JTAG 
    interface is designed and laid out correctly. If the board is not designed 
    correctly, communication via the JTAG port may not work. Another side 
    effect may be that the interface works, but you are not able to run at the 
    highest possible JTAG clock frequency. The JTAG clock frequency is  Figure 2-2. Resetting the Target

    characteristics of the custom processor board.
    To ensure that the custom board’s JTAG interface is designed and laid out 
    correctly, refer to Engineer-to-Engineer Note, Analog Devices JTAG Emu-
    lation Technical Reference (EE-68), available from the Analog Devices Web 
    site. This document is a technical reference for implementing the JTAG 
    interface on your target.
    Mechanical Specifications
    The outer dimensions of the ICE-100B emulator are 2.99” x 0.785”. The 
    height of the JTAG connector (
    J1) is approximately 0.310”. The tallest 
    component on the top is 0.235”, and the tallest component on the bottom 
    is 0.045”. Refer to Figure 2-3.
    Care must be taken when locating a custom target JTAG interface 
    connector, that no components are taller than about 0.15” if located 
    under the emulator.     
    If there are any concerns that emulator components may short to 
    the target board, an insulator should be used to provide protection.
