The HP E2465A Preprocessor Interface -
At a Glance
The HP E2465A Preprocessor Interface provides a complete interface
for state or timing analysis
between
any
PowerPC 604 PGA target
system and
the
following HP logic analyzers:
• HP l 660A/ASIC/CS
• HP 1670A/D
• HP 16550A (two
cards)
• HP 16554A (two
or
three
cards)
• HP 16555A/D (two
or
three
cards)
• HP 16556A/D (two
or
three
cards)
The preprocessorinterface provides
the
physical connection between
the
target microprocessor and
the
logic analyzer. The configuration
software
on
the
flexible disk sets
up
the
logic analyzer for
compatibilitywith
the
preprocessor interface. The inverse assembler
allows you to obtain displays
of
the
microprocessor operations
in
PowerPC 604 mnemonics.
For
additional information on
the
supported
logic analyzers
or
microprocessors, refer
to
the
appropriate
reference
manuals for those
products.

In This Book
This book is
the
user's guide for the HP E2465A Preprocessor Interface. It
assumes that you have a working knowledge of
the
logic analyzer used
and
the
microprocessor being analyzed.
This user's guide is organized into three chapters:
Chapter 1explains howto attach
the
preprocessor
to
the
target
system
and
logic analyzer, and how
to
load
the
preprocessorinterface
software into thelogic analyzer.
Chapter 2 provides reference information on
the
format specification
and
symbols configured by
the
preprocessorinterface software, and
information about
the
inverse assemblers
and
status
encoding.
Chapter 3 contains referenceinformation on
the
preprocessor
interface hardware, including the characteristics
and
signal mapping
for
the
preprocessorinterface.
Appendix A contains information on troubleshooting problems or
difficulties which may occurwith the preprocessor interface.
Formore information on
the
logic analyzers or microprocessor, referto
the
appropriate referencemanualfor those products.
