Connecting
ICE10 to PC
The ICE10 connects to any PC through a standard RS-232 port (COM port). Connect
the RS-232 Cable between the ICE10 and any free COM port on the PC. AVR Studio
will automatically search through all available COM ports and detect the emulator.
Note:
If there are other devices taking control over the COM ports, these have to be
shut down before starting AVR Studio. AVR Studio cannot force control over a
COM port if other resources have control of the port (e.g., Modem, IrDA, PDA,
etc.)
2.3
Connecting
ICE10 to Target
Board
Depending on which AVR microcontroller should be emulated, either the ATtiny15POD
or the AT90ADCPOD should be connected to the Pod connector on the ICE10. Table 2-
1 shows which Pod to use.
In short, the ATtiny15POD should be used for ATtiny15 only. The AT90ADCPOD is
used for all other listed devices.
2.4
Jumper Settings
The configuration system on the ATtiny15POD and AT90ADCPOD is different. The
AT90ADCPOD uses jumpers that need to be placed manually on the Pod. The
ATtiny15POD uses a jumperless system where all configuration is done directly from
AVR Studio. For in-depth information about AT90ADCPOD jumper settings see Section
4.
2.5
Connecting
Power
The ICE10 system has an internal power regulator that delivers 15W at 5V. The ICE10
itself uses about 10W. The power supply delivered with the ICE10 is dimensioned to
meet the requirements of the emulator. If another power supply is used, it should supply
a voltage between 9 and 15 VDC and a minimum of 20W. The battery eliminator con-
nector on the ICE10 system is a standard type with 2.1 mm center tap. Ground should
be connected to the center tap.
Note:
The target application power must not be present when the emulator is turned
off, as this may cause damage to the pod.
2.6
Summary
Complete the following procedure in order to start using the ICE10. Before connecting
the probe cable to the user application:
Connect the RS-232 cable between the ICE10 unit and the PC serial port.
Connect the correct pod card to the ICE10 unit with the supplied pod cable.
Connect the correct probe cable to the pod.
Make sure that the pod settings (jumpers) on AT90ADCPOD are set according to the
requirements.
Connect the enclosed power supply (9 - 15 VDC) to the ICE10 unit.
Turn on the power and check that the red LED marked POWER is lit.
After a short time (<10 s), the green LED marked READY will be lit and the ICE10
system will be ready.
