Download—In Circuit Downloader
The Serial Downloader is a software program that allows the user
to serially download an assembled program (Intel Hex for mat fi le)
to the on-chip program Flash memory via the serial COM1 port on
a standard PC. Application Note uC004 details this serial download
protocol and is available from www.analog.com/microconverter.
Debugger/Emulator—In-Circuit Debugger/Emulator
The Debugger/Emulator is a Windows application that allows the
user to debug code execution on silicon using the MicroConverter
UART serial port or via a single pin to provide nonintrusive
debug. The debugger pro vides ac cess to all on-chip peripherals
dur ing a typ i cal debug session, including sin gle-step and multiple
break-point code ex e cu tion control. C source and assembly level
debug are both possible with the emulator.
ADSIM—Windows Sim u la tor
The Simulator is a Windows application that fully simulates the
MicroConverter functionality including ADC and DAC pe riph -
er als. The simulator provides an easy-to-use, in tu i tive, in ter face to
the MicroConverter func tion al ity and in te grates many stan dard
debug features including mul ti ple breakpoints, single stepping,
and code execution trace ca pa bil i ty. This tool can be used both
as a tutorial guide to the part as well as an effi cient way to prove
code func tion al ity be fore moving to a hardware platform.
