With its features the DProbe430 is much more than an entry-level system. Beside being capable of real-time emulation up to the maximum processor speed of 8MHz and supporting all power saving modes, the emulator comes with 64k of emulation memory, 64k of execution breakpoints (before execution) and 64k of data breakpoints (read / write). The protection logic which detects write accesses to ROM or accesses to non existent memory and the trace buffer which can record 64k processor cycles with address, data and status are helpful features during the development of MSP430 based products. With the optional DBox16 extension, the DProbe430 can be used as a high-end in-circuit emulator.
