ICDM-x51 In-Circuit Debugger/Monitor

ICDM-x51 (In-Circuit Debugger/Monitor) offers true real time in-circuit development and debugging in machine code, assembler source, and High Level Language (HLL) modes. It is supplied with Windows 95/NT* user interface hosted on a PC over a standard serial port. This user interface is common between Signum SystemsÆ In-Circuit Emulator, Simulator, and the Debugger.
With ICDM-x51 you donÆt have to remove the CPU or buy expensive clip-on devices. Being mainly a software debugger it comes with a small monitor program (DMON-x51) that must be embedded with the userÆs program. This tiny monitor takes less than 1K of userÆs memory space and communicates with the host PC over a standard serial port. The user has a choice of resources used for communication with the host: on-chip UART, external UART, or any two available I/O pins. To ensure a quick connection, all necessary cables, connectors, and software ready for linking with all major C compilers and assemblers are included.
The HLL debugger provides support for most of the popular C compilers, including Archimedes, BSO/Tasking, Franklin, IAR, Keil, PLC and 2500AD. Unlimited number of breakpoints and pass-points may be set or cleared with a mouse, by simply clicking on the desired instruction in the Source window. You can watch variables change while stepping, and zoom in on any member of a complex structure with a click of a mouse.
Since the emulation CPU remains mounted on the userÆs target board, all electrical characteristics and timing are unchanged during debugging.
