Analog Devices Emulator and Evaluation Hardware Troubleshooting Guide

About this manual

This document provides step‑by‑step troubleshooting procedures for Analog Devices In‑Circuit Emulators (ICE‑100B, ICE‑1000, ICE‑2000), EZ‑Board™ and EZ‑KIT Lite® evaluation systems when used with CrossCore Embedded Studio (CCES). It covers driver installation, launch‑configuration testing, JTAG scan tests, and common error codes.

The guide also includes hardware‑specific checks such as USB cable length limits, LED status indicators, power‑up sequences, and jumper settings for SADA2 and ICE‑100B boards, helping engineers isolate and resolve connection or hardware faults before initiating a return‑for‑repair.
