Abstract
An ICE system for emulating a device includes an EPROM storing control code, at least one RAM storing user code and data, a processor alternatively executing the control code and user code, and memory map switch logic dynamically switching the memory address map of the processor between monitor and user state configurations so as to minimally impact the target environment by maximizing the available memory address space for the user code and data when the processor is executing the user code.
