Speed Problem Solving With

Off-the-Shelf Solutions for Many

Common Microprocessors

To help you design and debug your
microprocessor-based target systems,
Agilent offers different microproces-
sor specific products that let you get
control and visibility over your
microprocessor’s internal and
external data.
An analysis probe allows you to
quickly connect an Agilent logic
analyzer to your target system. The
analysis probe provides non-intrusive
capture and disassembly of micro-
processor and bus activity
Analysis probes are available for over
200 microprocessors and microcon-
trollers. Bus probes allow probing of
popular bus architectures such as
PCI, AGP, USB, VXI, SCSI, and many
others.
Flexible physical probing schemes
give quick and reliable connections to
almost any device on your prototype.

On-Chip Emulation Tools Make Fixing

Bugs Easier

For specific microprocessor families
that feature on-chip emulation, you
can add a processor emulation
module to your system to connect
the on-board debugging resources
of the microprocessor to the logic
analysis system.
The microprocessor’s BDM or JTAG
technology provides control over
processor operation even if there is
no software monitor on the target
system. This feature is particularly
helpful during the development of
your target system’s boot code.
