System Test and Debugging
24-2 Élan™SC520 Microcontroller User’s Manual
24.2.1 Loading
When a logic analyzer is connected to the ÉlanSC520 microcontroller pins, it presents an
additional load that must be taken into consideration on critical buses, such as the SDRAM
interface. Extreme care must be taken when connecting to either the SDRAM clock or the
PCI bus clock. When external clock drivers are used on the system circuit board, it may be
best to connect to the output of a lightly loaded or unused clock driver.
24.3 REGISTERS
Table 24-2 lists the memory-mapped registers that are used to control the system-level
debugging features.
