Altium/Tasking support for Acqura Emulators

I use a PDS51 emulator for my P87LPC76X designs and the PDS51E emulator for the P89LPC9XX devices. I use the Tasking/Altium 8051 V7.0 r9 toolset which creates compatible .O51 files for these emulators. Tasking explcitly mentions Acqura emulator support on the current version (7.2) but I can't get any details on the level of integration, it would be great if the CrossView debugger in Tasking could run these emulators but I don't see any of the configuration files required. Can anybody tell me if the support is only at the object file level or can I truly use the CrossView debugger to run the Acqura emultors directly and stay in one environment?

Thanks,

Larry Affelt

The PDS51-Mk2A is a universal motherboard which forms the basis for an affordable fully-featured in-circuit emulation system. In combination with a range of 22 companion daughterboards (PDB series) and various footprint adaptors (each available separately) it provides development support for over 70 different Philips 8051-derived (12-clock and 6-clock) microcontroller variants.

The resulting emulation system allows complete control and tracing of execution of a user's program, and access to all registers and memory spaces of the target microcontroller, without consuming any device resources or introducing wait-states or other non-standard behaviour.

Features typically include:

transparent real-time in-circuit emulation with execution trace.
flexible motherboard + daughterboard + adaptor architecture.
sophisticated Windows debugger supporting all popular compilers.
serial interface to host PC - auto-sensing baud rate (to 115kb/s) and COM port.
64k bytes of emulation memory for user code.
28k x 32 bits real-time trace buffer with 12 digital input channels.
programmable PLL-synthesised clock frequency (except early daughterboards).
multiple breakpoint sources, unlimited execution address breakpoints.
trigger output for synchronising external equipment with execution.
footprint adapters for various device packages.

NOTE: Some of the device variants supported by the PDS51-Mk2A system are now obsolete and have been discontinued by Philips. If you are interested in emulating these devices for maintenance purposes or whatever reason, and do not see the device listed under "Supported Devices", please contact us to determine availability of the appropriate daughterboard.

Similarly a number of the device variants supported by the PDS51-Mk2A system are application specific and have limited or restricted distribution. Examples include the 8xC234, 8xC738, 8xC738, etc. Please contact us if you require emulation support for such devices.

In many cases the PDS51-Mk2A (with an appropriate daughterboard) can also be used to emulate 8051-derived variants from other device manufacturers.

If you require an emulation system for the recently-introduced devices based on Philips MX (Memory eXtension) core, or for a more recent device variant which is not supported by the PDS51-Mk2A, please see the PDS51E emulation system. Note that in some cases the PDS51E system will also emulate devices supported by the PDS51-Mk2A system but with the advantage of increased performance and functionality.
