10.1 INTRODUCTION
Conventional methods of system development (for example the DSP56001) consist of a program which re-
sides in the DSP program memory (monitor). An interface circuit which either uses on-chip resources or an
additional program memory address communicates with a host computer or terminal. This technique is not
transparent, loads the DSP bus and sometimes interferes with the user system configuration. To emulate
the DSP in a user's target system an expensive cable must be used to bring out the DSP pins onto the sys-
tem under development.
The DSP96002's on-chip emulation (OnCE ) circuitry provides a means of interacting with the DSP96002
and its peripherals non-intrusively so that a user may examine registers, memory or on-chip peripherals.
This will facilitate hardware/software development on the DSP96002 processor. To achieve this, special cir-
cuits and dedicated pins on the DSP96002 die are defined to avoid sacrificing any user accessible on-chip
resource.
A key feature of the OnCE dedicated pins is to allow the user to insert the DSP96002 into his target system
yet retaining debug control. The need for a costly cable which brings out the DSP96002 footprint on an em-
ulator system is eliminated because of the easy access to the dedicated OnCE

10.2 ON-CHIP EMULATION (OnCE ) PINOUT
10.2.1 Debug Serial Input/Chip Status 0 (DSI/OS0)
Serial data or commands are provided to the OnCE controller through the DSI/OS0 pin when it is an input.
The data received on the DSI pin will be recognized only when the DSP96002 has entered the debug mode
of operation. Data must have valid TTL logic levels before being latched on the falling edge of the serial
clock. Data is always shifted into the OnCE
this pin in conjunction with the OS1 pin, provides information about the chip status indicating why the debug
mode cannot be entered in response to an external request. The DSI/OS0 pin is an output when not in De-
bug Mode (until the acknowledge signal is issued to the Command Controller). When switching from output
to input, the pin is three-stated. In order to avoid any possible glitches, an external pull-down resistor should
be attached to this pin. During hardware reset, this pin is defined as an output and it is driven low.
