Debugger General Information
Many times it may be desirable to terminate a debugger command prior to its completion; for example, during the display of a large block of memory. Break allows you to terminate the command.
3SYSFAIL* Assertion/Negation
Upon a reset/powerup condition the debugger asserts the VMEbus SYSFAIL* line (refer to the VMEbus specification). SYSFAIL* stays asserted if any of the following has occurred:
❏confidence test failure
❏NVRAM checksum error
❏NVRAM low battery condition
❏local memory configuration status
❏self test (if system mode) has completed with error
❏MPU clock speed calculation failure
After debugger initialization is done and none of the above situations have occurred, the SYSFAIL* line is negated. This indicates to the user or VMEbus masters the state of the debugger. In a
MPU Clock Speed Calculation
The clock speed of the microprocessor is calculated and checked against a user definable parameter housed in NVRAM (refer to the CNFG command in Appendix A). If the check fails, a warning message is displayed. The calculated clock speed is also checked against known clock speeds and tolerances.
Memory Requirements
The program portion of 162Bug is approximately 512KB of code, consisting of download, debugger, and diagnostic packages and contained entirely in Flash or PROM.
The 162Bug executes from $FF800000 whether in Flash or PROM. With jumper at J22 pins
