All of the emulation functionality - including the 64Kbyte emulation memory, interfaces for the MCU probe and the connection to the host system - is housed in a compact and portable unit measuring just 120 x 100 x 30mm.
The RTE870/C Light emulator is fully compatible with Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems and connects to the host PC via a USB2.0 full-speed interface.
Maximum emulation frequency is 16MHz.
As the component parts of the RTE870/C Light system are standardised, users can easily change the target MCU by changing a probe, a target connector and an emulation chip.
Providing an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI), the debugger software allows the developer to rapidly identify and rectify software problems by setting break points and event triggers, stepping through code and activating a trace function with a capacity of up to 1280 frames.
A timer function offers a resolution of 1us for up to 17min and 100ns for around 7min.
To ensure a truly low-cost emulation solution, the price of the RTE870/C Light includes the cost of the debugger software licence.
The latest version of the debugger software can be downloaded from the Toshiba website.
