Tool Description:

ApLink is a software and hardware debug probe for Intel's i960(R) embedded processors. The goal behind ApLink is to make i960 software development as simple as self-hosted development on a PC or workstation.

Tool Features:

  • Low cost, especially when compared to an in-circuit emulator

  • No monitor porting required, MON960 optimizes time to market

  • Parallel download port (Centronics compatible) for fast code download

  • RS-232 serial port for communications

  • Performance measurement capabilities provided by ApLink timers

  • no target timers required

  • ROM emulation memory (128 Kbyte) to support start-up code debugging. No need to burn multiple EPROMS.

  • Enables final product debugging without incurring the typical code size costs of including a ROM monitor in the production version of the firmware. Field and manufacturing personnel can use ApLink for debugging without increased cost

  • Can be used for hardware debugging when target address and data bus, clock, reset, and power supply are functional

  • Two timer/counters, one 16 bit and one 32 bit

  • Monitor SRAM for data and stack: 128 Kbyte

    • Development Platform(s):
