FIRE Emulator for ARM7

Highlights

	Active, passive and tracking emulation supported
	Interface for flexible adaption to ARM7TDMI based designs
	Software compatible JTAG debugger available
	HLL debugger with C and C++ support
	Disassembler for ARM and THUMB code
	Inline assembler for ARM and THUMB code
	Little and big endian byte ordering
	Support for pipelined and de-pipelined address timing
	Operation from 3.0 to 5.0V in passive mode and from 3.0 to 3.6V in active and tracking mode

Introduction

The TRACE32-FIREARM supports the ARM7TDMI macrocell with and without AMBA interface. The flexible concept of the probe allows the adaption to customer specific ASICs or to standard microcontrollers. An extensive specification is available that provides a detailed overview of our requirements. Please call or email our techinal support to get this document.
