 		 #143859 - What are your favorite debugging tools?
For most 8051/8052 projects we use the Philips PDS51 in-circuit emulators. For the P87LPC76x we use the Philips PDS76X in-circuit emulator.

We use the Raisonance C compiler and a little bit of BASCOM basic but the vast majority of our work is done in assembly using the Metalink cross-assembler.

Now we have several projects with the P89LPC9408 and P89LPC938 and the PDS ICE is of no use. I would like suggestions as to what debugging tools other people like to use for these type chips.

Regards,

Bert

Had a problem posting this the first time. Hope it's not duplicated.

                                          this is where you lose me ...            01/01/70 00:00

                                                we have been discussing this many times            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                   Ave you ever looked at a "bondout" version?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      for a plain static code breakpoint...            01/01/70 00:00

      yes, but is it really worth the money?            01/01/70 00:00      
         I know of no ICE that uses .lst files            01/01/70 00:00
