GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Z86C9300ZEM is a member of Zilog's ICEBOX
product family of in-circuit emulators providing support for
the above listed Z8 microcontroller devices.
Zilog's in-circuit emulators are interactive, Window-
oriented development tools, providing a real-time
environment for emulation and debugging.
The emulator provides essential timing and I/O circuitry to
simplify user emulation of the prototype hardware and
software product.
Data entering, and program debugging, are performed by
the monitor ROM and the host package, which communi-
cates through RS-232C serial interface. The user program
can be downloaded directly from the host computer through
the RS-232C connector. User code may be executed
through debugging commands in the monitor.
The Z86C9300ZEM emulator can be connected to
a serial port (COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4) of the host
computer and uses Graphical User Interface (GUI)
software.

Product Information
LIMITATIONS
1. Changing drives in file download and load symbol
dialog boxes is not anticipated by the GUI. Typing in
the filename in a directory other than shown in “Path:”
will result in “File not found”. Changing the drive using
the mouse is the workaround.
2. The initial blue Zilog screen will be distorted by other
active windows. This only affects the appearance, not
functionality, of the GUI.
3. Switching ICEBOXes without quitting the GUI is not
supported.
4. The maximum symbols that can be loaded is 32768,
provided that there is enough system resource
(memory).
5. The ICEBOX breakpoint hardware does not distinguish
between instruction and data fetches. When a
breakpoint in the GUI is set, the breakpoint hardware
triggers when the addresses match for either code or
data fetches.
Example:
000C SRP #%0
000E LD R4, #%0016
0010 LD R5, @R4
0012 NOP
0013 JP %000C
0016 NOP
Setting the breakpoint at %0016 and click GO.
Result: The code will break and stop at %0012.
Note: This will not happen when Animate Mode is on
because the GUI is not using the hardware breakpoints
when in Animate Mode.
6. If the emulator is running a user code at full speed and
the port window is opened: Switching to another
application or minimizing the GUI (then restoring) will
result in the following ICEBOX Communications Error
message: “Emulator rejected command: target
program is executing.” This message may need to be
cleared several times (as many as seven) before the
GUI returns to normal operation.
Workaround: Always close the port window before
leaving the GUI.

LIMITATIONS (Continued)
7. Do not put breakpoint at address after Stop instruction.
This will cause program counter to continue at that
location after a Stop-Mode Recovery.
8. The ICEBOX cannot stop timers during single-step
operation, or upon reaching of breakpoint.
PRECAUTION LIST
1. All Z8
control registers are write only unless stated
otherwise.
2. Power Supply ramp-up/rise time must be such that
when minimum power-on reset time (T
POR
) expires,
then the V
CC
must be in the supported specified
operating range of the device.
3. The ICEBOX cannot stop Timers and Interrupts at a
breakpoint or during ICEBOX Halt operation or a
single-step operation. The stack will overflow if an
interrupt is enabled and the ICEBOX is in HALT, single-
step, or breakpoint. (This is a limitation of the ICE chip.)
4. Check the T
POR
and T
WDT
specifications of the device
that you wish to emulate. The actual specification may
differ from the ICE chip specifications.
5. The general-purpose registers after Power-On Reset
or at initial emulator use will be different than the actual
device. The emulator self test will always leave the
same values in the general-purpose registers, while
the real device will have a random/undefined value in
the general-purpose registers.
6. GUI software versions prior to 3.00 are incompatible
with hardware containing BOOTROM 3.00. The GUI
software may still boot, but will fail at some later point
of the session.
7. The status color bar in OTP dialog box will be cleared
in the area where a new window opens on top of it.
8. For 386 PCs, set the baud rate to 19.2K or less
because Windows’ communication driver does not
guarantee “reliable” operation at more than 9600
baud. Selecting a high baud rate on some slower 386
machines may crash the Windows environment.
