DS6265A
is a development system for STMicroelectronics ST62X family of
microcontrollers. DS6265A offers in-circuit, real-time and
transparent emulation and can be used to debug both code and
hardware designs. Using a debugger/emulator allows you to
check your project at the earliest possible moment. You can
test your hardware without specifically written routines and
your software without a working target board. Accurate
in-circuit, real-time emulation is achieved using a highly
integrated external unit that is easily connected to the PC
serial port, so PC disassembly is not necessary and an
expansion slot is not required. At the other end, the emulator
pod is inserted into the microprocessor socket on the target
board for in-circuit emulation.

Light and Compact
Pod 
We have devoted a great deal of care to the
design of the emulator pod. The small number of pins available
means that good contacts cannot be reliably guaranteed if the
pod is heavy, and there is usually insufficient space on
embedded user boards if the pod is too big. For these reasons,
SofTec Microsystems has designed a very light and compact pod
so that the designer does not have to compromise the design to
accommodate the development tools. DS6265A has one of the
smallest emulator footprints in the industry, they fit neatly
in crowded work spaces and are easy to move around on the
bench or to other computers.
Powerful User Interface
DS6265A is controlled by a
common,
Windows-based user interface: DS62X. DS62X accepts binary and
Intel-Hex file formats (the latter with optional
STMicroelectronics assembler DSD and SYM format). It reads
debug information from output files produced by the original
STMicroelectronics cross-assembler, and downloads program via
RS-232 serial port to the program memory in less than 4
seconds (with 9600 serial baud rate and 4 KB of program size).
DS62X supports full emulation commands, offering an unlimited
number of software breakpoints to stop the code execution of
the microcontroller while running. SofTec Microsystems is
committed to making your job as easy as possible, so we built
an user interface that is easy to use, easy to learn and very
fast; a combination that will accelerate and enhance your
development work. You'll find bugs in seconds, accessing all
of the microcontroller resources in separate windows for
examining the RAM and code memory, source, registers, stack
and a user-customizable list of the variables. You have the
additional benefits of Windows for visualizing your data:
multiple windows (Source, Registers, Code Memory, Data Memory,
Stack and Watch window) can be displayed simultaneously for
comparing different views of your target system. Knowing that
accuracy and speed are critical to your success, all these
features combine to provide you with a fast, easy to learn
user interface. The debugger provides access to every
microcontroller resource allowing you to edit them directly
from the appropriate window. You can enter data in hexadecimal, ASCII or binary format through a handy dialog box
that shows the meanings of the single bits and allows you to
change their values simply by clicking the mouse button.
Variables are shown in hexadecimal, decimal and binary format
and can be referenced by both their names and addresses. A
special user interface function, I/O Test, allows electronic
designers to change the emulator I/Os to test the full
functionality of their external hardware without writing
special software routines. It is possible to set the outputs,
read the inputs and change the directions of the I/O
graphically using the mouse.

Real-Time Emulation Without
Compromises
DS6265A operates
with or without a target system to allow unrestricted routine
testing. You can select the clock frequency from 1 to 8 MHz in
fixed steps through the user interface; no external crystal or
oscillator is needed thanks to an internal frequency
synthesizer that ensures the maximum flexibility. DS6265A is
non-intrusive and transparent emulator. No target processor
resources are used. No interrupts, no I/Os, and no memory
locations are reserved for emulation purposes. No wait states
are inserted so true real-time execution is ensured. No
spurious clock cycles are inserted between steps.
Integrated in
the Raisonance C Compiler
DS6265A can also be used directly from within
the Raisonance RKIT-ST6 C Compiler. RKIT-ST6 includes the same
debugging engine of the DS62X user interface, with the
addition of a powerful, integrated C compiler, macro assembler, linker and a fully integrated
simulator/debugger.
The RKIT-ST6 Compiler Kit includes the RIDE integrated
development environment, a C compiler, a macro assembler, a
linker, a library manager, a color syntax highlight editor, a
project manager and a simulator/debugger
Interface.
