Plug-n-Play USB product

Runs under Windows®98 or Windows®2000

Emulation for the industry standard Analog Devices JTAG family of DSPs

Rugged high-speed 3V/5V JTAG emulation for Analog Devices DSPs

Multiprocessor support


2. Requirements

The minimum PC host requirements for the Apex-ICE are as follows:

Pentium 166 MHz or better

Minimum of 32 megabytes of RAM memory

Windows®98 or Windows®2000 operating system

One full speed USB port


3. 3. Installation

3.1. Connecting the Apex-ICE to the PC

For specific instructions on connecting a USB device to your computer consult thedocumentation that is provided by the manufacturer of your computer. In general you should beable to use the following instructions.

Important! The Apex-ICE, Analog Devices JTAG Family of DSPsemulator contains ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive devices.Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the human body andequipment and can discharge without detection. Permanent damage mayoccur to devices subjected to high-energy discharges.

Proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performancedegradation or loss of functionality.

3.1.1. Note: Proper Power-On Sequence

1. Attach the probe to a un-powered target using the 14-pin header. (Never connectan un- powered Apex-ICE to a powered target board.)

2. Apply power to the Apex-ICE

3. Apply power to the target DSP board.

4. Invoke the debugger software.

3.1.2. General Operating Instructions

Figure 13. The Apex-ICE Properties Page

8. To install the ApexControl software go to Section 4 ApexControl software.

3.4. Configuring the Apex-ICE Pod

Note: This section is optional. This procedure is used to reduce noise related issue.

The Apex-ICE pod contains two internal jumpers for reducing noise issues associated withJTAG signals. These jumpers are accessible by removing the four screws on the bottom of theplastic enclosure and removing the top of the enclosure. The jumpers are shown infigure 14.


Figure 14. Jumpers

There are two jumpers provided to help reduce problems that may arise because of ringing andreflections on the JTAG signals on the target board. These jumpers are not installed whenshipped from the factory.

Jumpers JP1 and JP2 are used for adding a parallel terminator on the TDO and CLKIN signals.When the jumpers are installed a parallel terminator of 120Ω and 91Ω is connected to the TDOand CLKIN signals.

Figure 15 shows how the terminators are connected to the JTAG signals. It is important tonote that the target MUST be able to drive a 51Ω load before these jumpers are installed. TheDSP cannot drive this load directly, a driver should be inserted between the JTAG signals atthe DSP and the JTAG signals at the header.

Figure 15. Terminators Connected to the JTAG Signals


3.5. Connecting the Pod to Your Target System

The pod connects to the target processor through the JTAG interface. The target board must bebuilt with an appropriate JTAG connector. Please note the position of the key pin. The keypin should be used as a guide to connect the pod to the target. Included with the Apex-ICEsystem are two extender connectors. These extenders are used to connect the Apex-ICE systemto a target, which was designed for use with the ADI ICEPAC. These extenders allowconnection to the JTAG pins on the ICEPAC header.

For more information on designing a JTAG interface refer to EE-68.

3.6. Removing the Apex-ICE USB device from Windows 2000

1. From the Windows task bar double-click on the Unplug or Eject Hardware icon.A window similar to that shown in figure 16 should be displayed.

Figure 16 Unplug or Eject Hardware


Figure 17 Stop a Hardware device

2. Click on Stop. A window similar to that shown in Figure 17 should be displayed.

Figure 18 Stop a Hardware device

3. Click on Ok to display the Safe to Remove Hardware dialog box similar to that shown in figure 18.

4. Remove the Apex-ICE USB device from the USB port and click Ok.


4. ApexControl Software

ApexControl is a utility used to download firmware updates, reboot the Apex-ICE and run the IceTestutility. The following sections describe each of the ApexControl functions.

This manual assumes the ApexControl application is used with VisualDSP++

software. If ApexControl isprovided by other third party vendors, the user should refer to the vendors documentation.

4.1. Install the Apex-ICE Software

Refer to the VisualDSP Emulation Tools Installation Guide provided on the Emulator DriversCD Section 3.1 Installation.

4.2. Target Type Selection

Before the VisualDSP software is used with Apex-ICE a target type must be selected. TheApex-ICE installation software will insert the proper target type into the target type pull downlist.

1. If the ApexControl software isnt currently running, start it from the Windows start button, Start⇒Programs⇒VisualDSP⇒ApexControl. Figure 19 shows the initial dialog.

2. Click on the Target Type pull down list (see figure 19) and select the appropriate target type.

Figure 19. Apex Control Utility


The selected target type will be available after Connect and Reboot actions are taken asdescribed in the following sections.

4.3. Apex Connection

Before any of the Apex-ICE utilities can be used, a connection to the device must beestablished.

1. Confirm the Apex-ICE device is turned on and operating properly as described inChapter 3. Note: The status LED should be blinking and the green power LEDilluminated.

2. The Select Apex-ICE Device drop down list should contain at least one configured device.If not, follow the instructions in section 4.1.

3. Select the desired device from the Select Apex-ICE Device drop down list. The red circleto the left of the device selection indicates that the device is currently not connected.

4. Click the Connect button. See figure 19. If the connection is successful then a greencircle will appear next to the device selection and the Download, Reboot and IceTestbuttons will become active. See figure 20.

Note! If an error message appears then the Apex-ICE device is eithernot configured correctly, not turned on or is malfunctioning. Review allprevious sections for correct configuration.
