MFC1000 Evaluation System (EVS)
The MFC1000 Evaluation System provides
demonstration, prototype development ,and evaluation
capabilities to developers using the MFC1000 device
set. The MFC1000 Evaluation System provides
flexibility for visibility and access (plug-on board for the
modem, sockets for programmable parts, and a
connector for an emulator). Jumper options and test
points are provided throughout the MFC EVS board.
The MFC EVS is the most convenient environment for
the developer needing to experiment with the various
interfaces encountered in a MFC1000. The MFC EVS
hardware, application code, and software drivers
comprise a working multifunctional peripheral—
requiring only a power supply to complete the
machine. The system provides a PC with printing,
scanning, and FAX transmit and receive capabilities.
In addition, the unit works as a stand-alone FAX
machine and convenience copier.
The MFC EVS hardware supports most of the optional
capabilities of the MFC1000 device set, providing the
peripheral manufacturer with a flexible platform for
system development and evaluation. The supported
modems can be interchanged by using the appropriate
Conexant Modem Evaluation Board (MEB). The
accompanying serial interface operator panel can be
replaced with the manufacturers own operator panel.
Sockets are provided for the memory components.
The various memory configurations are jumper
selectable and test points are provided throughout the
MFC EVS board.
MFC1000 Software Development Tools
The ARM software development tool kit along with
ARM embedded ICE interface is available to support
MFC1000 software/firmware development.
This package, which operates under Microsoft
Windows 95 Operating System, includes an ANSI C
Compiler, Macro Assembler, Linker/Locator, Librarian,
and Source-Level Debugger for the ARM CPU. This
provides the developer with extensive tools for code
modifications and debugging.
The ARM Embedded ICE Interface is also available for
debugging MFC1000 system firmware. The ARM
debugger (part of the ARM Software Development
Tool kit) on the PC communicates with the Embedded
ICE Interface unit through a serial or parallel (optional)
port. The Embedded ICE Interface translates the
debug protocol messages from the PC into signals to
drive the Embedded ICE of the MFC1000, through the
JTAG port. The MFC1000 Embedded ICE consists of
two real-time watchpoint units and a control and status
register. One or both watchpoint units can be
programmed to halt the execution of instructions when
a match occurs between the values programmed into
the watchpoint and the values currently appearing on
the address bus, data bus, and various control signals.
