Abstract

The author addresses the design cycle where development tools are used. Design issues are addressed in the context of deterministic debug technology and the Intel 80960 embedded microprocessor. In the coding phase of design, intrinsic component capabilities and development languages are highlighted. In the debug phase, the in-circuit emulator, source-level debugger, and software execution vehicle are discussed. In the integration phase, the emulator is discussed again, along with the ROM builder utility of the macroassembler. It is stressed that it is necessary to evaluate all the parts (silicon performance and proven tool technology) of the architecture decision before committing to any one microprocessor family.<>
