buy 2 emulators, I did. Erik
Generally, you can have several MicroVision windows opened simuiltaneously...I did several projects that used more than one CPU succesfully...The rest depends on your hardware.The cheapest way is to use MON51, if you can (depends on your hardware) or FLASHMON51, if your processor can support it. Some cores have JTAG debug port, like Triscend, Cygnal (Silicon Laboratories), so you should have several JTAG debug adapters. Or, as Erik said, buy several emulators... regards Dejan
buy several emulators... Not necessarily several, two will do. I debugged a system with 48 processors using two ICEs and probably would have saved no more than an hour had I had more emulators. Beware, some emulators will not run two on the same PC (till a few months ago you needed two PCs to run two emulators by one of the brands, they eventually overcame that limitation). If you are only building a few systems, consider Cygnal, you get something very close to an ICE for about $100 per unit, the chips, however, can easily become too expensive if chip cost is more important than tool cost.

"Some cores have JTAG debug port, like Triscend, Cygnal (Silicon Laboratories), so you should have several JTAG debug adapters." Because JTAG works in a chain, it should be possible to use only 1 debug adaptor ... in theory, at least. Especially with Triscend, which allows you to debug remotely over your LAN. I have enough Triscend boards knocking around - I keep thinking I should try this one day...
If you gave some details of your "multiprocessor system", we might be able to offer some more specific advice...
Yow can i simulate (using only MicroVision & only one PC) working of 2 microprocessors AT89S8252, connected via UART and some other pins. Using of any plugged in monitors (MON51,... ) not available. Thanks.
Vadim, You just learned a lesson: Check the (avialability of) tools before saying yes to a project. Erik
