MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator is an in-circuit emulator that is controlled by a PC
running MPLAB IDE software on a Windows
in-circuit emulator is an integral part of the development engineer's toolsuite. The
application usage can vary from software development to hardware integration to
manufacturing test to field service.
The MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator is a modern emulator system that supports
hardware and software development for selected Microchip PICmicro
microcontrollers (MCUs) and dsPIC
on In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) programming capability and Standard
DUT Programming (STDP) 2-wire serial interfaces.
The emulator system will execute code like an actual device because it uses a device
with built-in emulation circuitry, instead of a special emulator chip, for emulation. All
available features of a given device are accessible interactively, and can be set and
modified by the MPLAB IDE interface.
The MPLAB REAL ICE emulation concept was developed for emulating complex
processors that differ from conventional system processors in several aspects:
• Processors run at maximum speeds
• Capability to incorporate I/O port data input
• Instrumented Trace (MPLAB IDE and Compiler Assisted)
In addition to emulator functions, the MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator system also
may be used as a development programmer.
The MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator system allows you to:
• Debug your application on your own hardware in real time
• Debug with hardware breakpoints
• Debug with software breakpoints (future)
• Set breakpoints based on internal and/or external signals
• Monitor internal file registers
• Emulate full speed
• Program your device
• Trace lines of code or log variable/expression values
