There's no ICE for AVRs, AFAIK. Per Westermark said:
You can do a lot with a JTAG interface, Sure I can. For example boundary scan. That's what JTAG is intended for, after all... Per Westermark said:
The most important thing is to be able to single-step and to read out memory or register data. Sometimes a good breakpoint subsystem is worth gold, but you can most of the time manage with stupid breakpoints too. As I said above, Grant could do just the same with SoftICE, with certain limitations. Sure, the limitations of the monitor are more severe than that of an on-chip debugger, but apparently, he does not want either, and he is after a real ICE. There's a lot of hum and buzz around the terms, and at the first glance it might seem that Atmel offers ICE for the AVRs - although deceiving, this is how they call the JTAG thingy, don't they. That's why I am warning. JW |
