Introduction Use this guide to install and troubleshoot connection problems with the ICE Cube and ICE-4000 In- Circuit Emulator (ICE). Both PSoC ICE units provide significant debugging functionality that requires full two-way communication between the ICE and your computer to operate. There are several steps in the connection process, including both setting up the hardware and making the communications connection in the software. Making the software connection on your computer may require changes in the BIOS settings. PSoC Designer v. 4.1 or later supports the USB Adapter The USB Adapter allows the standard parallel port ICE-4000 to connect to a USB 1.1 or newer port as an alternative to the current parallel port method. Instructions for using the USB Adapter are included in this guide. PSoC Designer v. 4.2 supports the ICE Cube The ICE Cube provides enhanced debugging capability and supports USB 1.1 or newer. Instructions for connecting the ICE Cube to a computer are included in this guide. 1.1 Support Free technical support for PSoC Designer is available online at www.cypress.com. Resources include Training Seminars, Discussion Forums, Application Notes, PSoC Consultants, TightLink Technical Support Email/Knowledge Base, and Application Support Technicians. Technical Support may also be contacted by phone at 1-800-541-4736. Before using Cypress support services, know the version of PSoC Designer installed on your sys- tem. To determine the version, build, or service pack, click Help > About PSoC Designer. 1.1.1 Product Upgrades Cypress provides scheduled upgrades and version enhancements for PSoC software free of charge. You can order upgrades from your distributor on CD-ROM or download them directly from www.cypress.com under Software and Drivers. Critical updates to system documentation are also available on the Cypress web site.

Connecting to the ICE Physically connecting the ICE Cube or ICE-4000 to a Windows compatible computer requires a few procedures and software configuration. 2.1 Software Requirements PSoC Designer 4.1 or later; or PSoC Programmer 1.22 or later, are required to use the ICE Cube or ICE-4000 development hardware. The most current version of either program is available for down- load on the Cypress web site at www.cypress.com or on CD-ROM from your distributor. Install the software prior to physically connecting the hardware to your computer. Refer to the installed software to determine system requirements. 2.2 Connecting the ICE Cube PSoC Designer v. 4.2 supports the ICE Cube. This new in-circuit emulator replaces the ICE-4000 and the USB Adapter for seamless USB connection, debugging, and programming. Figure 2-1. The ICE Cube The ICE Cube is required for CY8C29x66 support.

Litigation ---------- A. Intel ----- General ------- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ("AMD" or "Corporation") and Intel Corporation ("Intel") are engaged in a number of legal proceedings involving AMD's x86 products. The current status of such legal proceedings are described below. An unfavorable decision in the 287, 386 or 486 microcode cases could result in a material monetary award to Intel and/or preclude AMD from continuing to produce those Am386(Registered Trademark) and Am486(Trademark) products adjudicated to contain any copyrighted Intel microcode. The Am486 products are a material part of the Company's business and profits and such an unfavorable decision could have an immediate, materially adverse impact on the financial condition and results of the operations of AMD. The AMD/Intel legal proceedings involve multiple interrelated and complex issues of fact and law. The ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may result upon an adjudication of any of the AMD/Intel legal proceedings has been made in the Corporation's financial statements.
