10.4 Application Examples

10.4.1 Debug Environment

Figure 10-2 on page 51 shows a complete debug environment example. The ICE/JTAG interface is used for standard

debugging functions, such as downloading code and single-stepping through the program. A software debugger running

on a personal computer provides the user interface for configuring a Trace Port interface utilizing the ICE/JTAG interface.
