#104779 - possible, sure, as easy no
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I want to ask is it possible to do debuging without an ICE, i mean with acceptable efficiency? If yes, how?
possible, sure, as easy no.
you can get quite far with a simulator (comes with most/all? compiler/assembler packages) but the real crux where the ICE comes in is where something goes wrong "once a day". Also, bo simulator can fully debug the interaction between what other things are on the board and the uC.

And i have another silly question: is it possible to "home made" an ICE?
sure, if you have, say, 12 man years of development time.

NOW, what to do since it seems you want an ICE and do not have the funds ($1000+) to buy one, why not go for SILabs. Their chips have a "built-in ICE functionality" and a development board that gives you ICElike tools cost $99 -up depending on which derivative you choose. I would recommend that you stay away from the f3xx series.
