Ultra-P8RF5000 Microprocessor Development System for NXP P8RF5000 Smart Card Microcontrollers

for PKSC-P8RF5000 datasheet

Ashling's Ultra-P8RF5000 Microprocessor Development System provides Software Development, In-Circuit Emulation, Source-level Debugging, Program Performance Analysis and Code Coverage measurement in one powerful integrated system, hosted under Windows™. All NXP 8-bit Smart Cards and Contactless Cards are fully supported. Ultra-P8RF5000 includes comprehensive support for the devices' on-chip cryptographic calculation unit, ISO7816 Smart Card interface and Contactless interface.

System Specification

PathFinder Source-Level Debugger
PathFinder provides the user-interface for the Ultra-P8RF5000 Development System. Controlled by button-bar, menus, mouse or automated script files, PathFinder provides System Mode or User Mode views in all Memory and Stack Windows. Full support for Keil and Raisonance C Compilers and Assemblers..

Code Coverage Measurement
Ashling’s “CodeScan” Code Coverage Measurement option for the Ultra Smart Card Development System identifies all tested, untested and unreachable code in a Smart Card program. This allows you to implement a repeatable, step-by-step program test procedure, to ensure that every byte of code has been tested, and to keep a formal record of test completeness.

STARS Performance Analyser
Ashling’s STARS (Software Test, Analysis and Reporting System) Performance Analyzer option for the Ultra-P8RF5000 measures the maximum, minimum and total execution time of every function in the program code, in real-time. You can measure and optimize the execution time of your Smart Card program, identify untested program paths, and verify conformance to an execution-time specification.

Ashling support for all phases of NXP Smart Card development

  • Assembly and compilation of source code
  • Develop, execute, test and debug using the emulator
  • Test and debug the program and the application, using emulator and ISO7816 probe
  • Test Smart Card system application using emulator, probe and card reader
  • Test, performance-analyze, verify and validate the program with Ultra-P8RF5000 STARS and CodeScan options
  • Application-test the ROM code using the prototyping kit

Secure Development Environment
Ashling’s range of development tools provides a comprehensive and powerful environment for all stages of development for NXP’ Smart Cards and Contact/Contactless (dual-Interface) cards. Working in co-operation with NXP, Ashling’s products and procedures ensure the security and reliability of Smart Card programs.

Emulation Specification

Emulation Memory
