Microchip's new emulation system supports the development of applications that use Microchip's PIC microcontrollers and dsPIC digital signal controllers (DSCs). The new MPLAB REAL ICE offers next-generation emulation support, including faster memory interfacing and longer distance, higher speed target connections.
The system is fully integrated into the free MPLAB integrated development environment (IDE) used for writing code, building projects, testing, verification and programming. Within MPLAB, it supports a wide range of debugging facilities, such as complex break points, application code trace and data logging, code execution stopwatch, and realtime variable monitoring.
Microchip developed the MPLAB REAL ICE emulation system alongside its next-generation microcontrollers and DSC devices to ensure tightly-coupled emulation integration. On-chip resources support the emulation features for full-speed debugging, with realtime variable monitoring. High-speed data interfaces rapidly upload large trace records, offering quick monitoring and instant adjustment of application parameters.
