FS2 System Analyzers for
QuickLogic® QuickMIPS™ ESP Family and
Eclipse™ FPGA Devices

The System Analyzer supports the QuickMIPS ESP family which feature a MIPS Technologies MIPS32™ 4Kc™ microprocessor core. To learn more about the QuickLogic devices, go to this link: http://www.quicklogic.com

The analyzer provides complete run control debugging of the MIPS 4Kc CPU core in the QuickMIPS device. In addition to the run control and debugging features of the MIPS core, the analyzer features a Configurable Logic Analysis Monitor (CLAM™) which allows the user to trace and trigger on up to 128 specified signals in the programmable logic fabric, with 32 captured simultaneously. In the internal trace system, all triggering and trace capture takes place on-chip in the QuickMIPS device. In the external trace version, trace is captured off-chip in the FS2 system analyzer, freeing up on-chip resources. The off-chip trace option also allows a richer trigger/trace feature set. The combination of logic analysis for the programmable fabric and run control for the embedded core makes this a powerful debug tool for the unique capabilities of the QuickMIPS device.

The system analyzer is contained in a compact chassis that connects to the QuickMIPS target system using a JTAG debug connector. The internal trace system uses a second 10-pin cable for the CLAM logic analysis functions. A high-speed 38-pin Mictor cable is used for trace capture with the external trace system. The system runs on a Windows® 98/NT/2000 PC over an IEEE-1284 EPP/ECP high-speed parallel port. The Accelerated Technology code|lab Debug or Green Hills MULTI debugger provide a source-level user interface.

The ISA-Eclipse System Analyzer supports the QuickLogic Eclipse™ family of FPGA devices. It has the same CLAM logic analyzer features in the QuickMIPS product, but without the MIPS core run control functions.
