1 Introduction
OVERVIEW
Congratulations for selecting a fine development tool! The Z86C36
ICEBOX provides in-circuit emulation for the Z8 family of UART
controllers. The ICEBOX consists of an emulation daughter board that is
plugged into a 32-MHz motherboard using P1 and P2 headers. The
Z86C50 ICE chip is used as the emulation processor for devices with less
than or equal to 32K of code memory. The Z86C51 ICE chip is used as
the emulation processor for devices with 64K of code memory, that is,
Z86C36 and Z86C46.
The 32 MHz motherboard has been modified for 64 K operation and
provides host communication interface, control processor, I/O space
decoding, and LED indicator. The ICEBOXes are designed to be used
with ZiLOG Developers Studio, giving the user a total package to write,
edit, and debug their applications.
