RICE65 In-Circuit Emulator

RICE65 is a full-featured in-circuit emulator designed to support the 65C02 processor from a variety of manufacturers including Western Design

Center, Rockwell International and United Microelectronics Corporation. It uses the actual processor from the manufacturer to provide accurate

emulation. Emulation speed can go as high as 8 Mhz. Using RICE65 allows you to quickly debug your codes as well as hardware design. The

emulator has onboard internal oscillator which allows you to debug codes even without a target board.

RICE65 interfaces to an IBM PC or clone via the parallel port, no PC disassembly or expansion slot is required. It runs under MS-DOS or

Windows 95/98/NT on any PC-386/486/Pentium or compatibles including notebook and laptop computers. RICE65 is compact and light weight.

With all electronics cased inside an anodized aluminum enclosure. RICE65 can be easily brought on the road, fit neatly in any work space, or be

moved from one computer system to another.

put,

a trigger output, a break output and a common ground pin.

The Windows 95/98/NT screen debugger provides an intuitive interface and requires no learning curve from the users. Users can be up and

running within minutes. A DOS debugger is also available on the web site for users to run under Windows 3.1 and DOS.

The DOS debugger features a windowed interface with pull-down menus, dialog box, function/hot keys, mouse support and context-sensitive

help. All information regarding the 65C02 processor and your application is available right on the screen. It provides separate windows for

examining source code, program memory, watch variables, special registers, and trace buffer. The contents of program memory and special

registers can be edited directly from the appropriate windows.

The Windows software offers additional benefits of the Windows operating system for visualizing data: multiple source windows; tool bar with

tool tips showing the functions of different buttons; context menu for customizing font and color for each window as well as initiating special

functions pertinent to the active window; window minimization and maximization to optimize work space; data can be displayed in hex, decimal

or binary according to one's preference; etc.

Common to both debuggers are features that will make your job simple and easy. They include:

Codes are quickly downloaded via the parallel interface to the program memory within seconds. The system provides

versatile emulation controls including Go from Reset, Go, From new PC, Run To Cursor, Single Step, Step over Call, Return to Caller and

Animate. There are hot keys and tool button available to easily invoke each function.

RICE65's breakpoint system can be programmed to halt the processor

irectly in the Source or Disassembled Window

any program counter as breakpoints. Via the Add Breakpoint dialog box, you can enter any address as breakpoints or select the address label

from the list box. The emulator can be programmed to halt when the External Break Input Line sees a rising or falling edge, when the trace

buffer is full, or when the data capture condition is met or when the program writes to read-only memory..

The 8K circular trace memory lets you record program flow, data bus contents or external logic events in real- time. It

contains the address, data bus contents, or the captured data on the eight external trace lines, and the source or disassembled codes. Working

together with the breakpoint system, the real-time trace provides valuable information for debugging both the firmware and the target hardware.

The RICE65 Hardware

e RICE65 emulator consists of the followings:

64K emulation memory

8K (24 bits wide) real-time trace memory

32-bit instruction cycle counter, expandable to 64-bit

Data capture logic

a 12-clip logic probe with 8 trace input lines, an external break in

when reaching a break address, when there is an external break signal,

when the trace buffer is full, when the data capture condition is met,

when the program has memory fault, or when user interrupts the program.

RICE65 accepts unlimited number of breakpoints within the program memory. Users can toggle d

Data Capture Break... When enabled, the Data Capture Break on RICE65 generates a break when the specified program memory has

reached the user-defined condition, for example, when the data at location <0x800> reaches 0x7F. Users can also specify a mask value to test

on specific bits.

Trigger Output...

Source Level Debugging...

Watching...

Internal Clock...

The Trigger Output line on RICE65 generates a positive pulse whenever an

instruction is qualified for trigger output. The trigger output can be used to trigger an oscilloscope, other

logic or instruments precisely when the processor executes an instruction at a particular address. When

connecting to the External Break Input of another RICE65 unit, it provides cross triggering on multiple

emulators.

Source level debugging is available on 2500AD Compiler/Assembler,

WDC/Zardoz Assembler. When debugging in C, open the ASM window to display the corresponding

disassembled codes. Stepping can be specified in C or assembly line. The RICE65 debugging environment

can be customized and saved to disk as a setup or INI file. This enables you to quickly resume the

debugging session exactly the way you left it. The setup file saves information on the interface, device

configuration, object file, window layout, set breakpoints, trigger points and watch variables.

This allows you to effectively study the results of interested registers which can be set at

byte, word, or double word. Watch variables can also be edited directly within the window for program

analysis.

RICE65 provides different internal oscillator frequencies for emulation, thus allowing

debugging without the presence of the target hardware. RICE65 also supports an external crystal in the

target circuit.

Product Warranty

Cycle Counter... Expandable to 64-bit, this is a 32-bit timer counter that clocks the number of cycles

the processor executes since the last reset. The counter allows users to easily start, stop and zero the

counter to his application.
