iC5500 On-Chip Analyzer is a universal on-chip emulation platform, which allows debugging and testing
embedded platforms based on various microcontroller architectures.. To connect to the target microcontroller,
based on a specific architecture, a connecting 40-pin flat cable (which also comes with the iC5500), a target
specific debug cable adapter and architecture specific license are required. Note that in some configurations,
multiple licenses are required (e.g. debug, trace and multicore license) and earlier mentioned 40-pin flat cable is
not required when the necessary connection cables come with the debug cable adapter (e.g. IC50152, IC50115,
IC50163) already.
Typically, the IC5500 already comes assembled and preprogrammed with all purchased licenses except for
winIDEA license, which is not required for 28 days (evaluation period) from the day of the first use. It remains
to the user only to connect a specific cable adapter and connecting the debug and test tool to the embedded
target.
iC5500 Base Unit
iC5500 Base Unit is a base platform connecting to the PC via the TCP/IP or the USB 3.0 port. The iC5500 USB
3.0 port is backward compatible with the USB 2.0 ports on the PC side.
Make sure that the USB 3.0 cable delivered along the iC5500 is being used for the USB 3.0 connection. It has
been confirmed that many USB 3.0 specified cables don’t work reliably. When using a cable of your own
selection, test it well in conjunction with the iC5500 before use.
TCP/IP communication can be used to access the iC5500 from a distant PC or when a single iC5500 unit is
shared between multiple PCs or users.
USB 3.0 communication should be used to get the most out of the iC5500 in terms of capturing trace information
from the microcontroller.
iC5500 Base Unit features 1GB analyzer storage buffer, which in conjunction with the USB 3.0 communication
to the PC, can provide infinite or at least very long trace captures.
