Analyzing the Intel 80386DX/DXL
Introduction
This chapter provides reference information on the format
specification and symbols configured by the HP E2444A software. It
also contains information about the inverse assemblers, status encoding
and timing analysis.
Format
Specification
The 80386DX/DXL configuration files contain predefined format
specifications. These format specifications include all labels for
monitoring the 80386DX/DXL microprocessor and any coprocessors
connected directly to the microprocessor (see figures 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3,
which show the HP 16550A format specification). There are some
slight differences in the displays, according to which logic analyzer you
are using. For example, some logic analyzers do not have a Clock
Period field. Refer to your logic analyzer manual to see which fields
and displays are available.
Table 3-1 in chapter 3 lists the 80386DX/DXL signals for the
HP E2444A Preprocessor Interface and their corresponding lines to
the logic analyzers.
Note
For those logic analyzers which have a Clock Period field (HP 1650A,
HP 1650B, HP 1652B, HP 16510A, HP 16510B, and HP 16511B), the
Clock Period field should remain in the current selection (> 60 ns) for
proper HP E2444A operation. For more information on the Clock
Period field, refer to the reference manual for your logic analyzer.
