Wind River ICE

Wind River ICE is the premier JTAG emulator. With a 10/100 Ethernet host interface and innovative JTAG Accelerator and JTAG server technologies, Wind River ICE enables organizations of any size to standardize on a common JTAG emulator for all their project development needs.

Multicore Debugging
Wind River ICE offers a sophisticated multicore solution that supports the ability to identify and manage 128 simultaneous processor connections, enabling developers to connect to and debug any eight simultaneously. Through its integration with the industry's leading multi-context debugging environment, Wind River Workbench, On-Chip Debugging Edition, Wind River ICE provides an advanced multicore/multiprocessor development solution for resolution of complex debugging challenges.

Remote Debugging
The Ethernet/IP capabilities of Wind River ICE allow it to be located and accessed through an Ethernet/IP network anywhere in the world. The Target Console port enables developers to access serial data information from a serial port on the target device, allowing them to monitor predetermined information coming from the target.

Flexible and Extendable Platform
Development teams can easily leverage the flexible and extendable capabilities of Wind River ICE across the entire development life cycle. Through its integration with Wind River Workbench and the Wind River On-Chip Debugging API, Wind River ICE can also be used in the manufacturing test stages of development. The tool supports modular upgrades for additional capabilities and support as project development requirements evolve.

Features

• Enables flash programming
• Provides RTOS awareness for VxWorks and Linux target support
• Supports JTAG debugging connections to multiple microprocessors
• Access a single device on the scan chain; or multiple devices simultaneously, to provide synchronous start and stop
• Set breakpoints within a single microprocessor to halt the execution of multiple microprocessors
• Establish and remove connections without impacting any microprocessor or device on the scan chain
• Start working on the target immediately after connecting to a device; no need to initialize target or registers
• Access and control hardware configuration options/settings, including creation and management of target register configuration files
• Quickly perform hardware and system diagnostics
