iC5000
As an all-round development tool, the iC5000 supports almost all 32-microcontrollers, their debug interfaces and trace technologies.
Through its tried and tested ribbon-cable interface, a range of adapters are available to enable interfacing to all major connector types found on semiconductor vendor’s development boards or even your own prototyping hardware.

By adding the IOM2 accessory, the iC5000 can be expanded to monitor digital and analog signals on your embedded hardware. When combined with captured program and data trace information, timing delays through various layers of software can be analyzed, or serial data transfers compared with expected execution results. For low-power power applications, the analog inputs can also be used to compare power consumption with the expected low-power modes of the MCU.
The IOM2 also provides digital and analog outputs that can be controlled via the winIDEA IDE graphical user interface, or through our winIDEA SDK. This enables the use of the iC5000 to be used as part of a HIL testing platform, combining the programming of the target MCU with potential analysis of the run-time state of variables for deeper testing insights.
Continuous Integration infrastructures
iSYSTEM has long-standing experience in implementing automated software testing and using Continuous Integration (CI) in their own labs. The iC5000 CI was designed to be implemented in CI test racks with multiple hardware setups and therefore becomes a natural part of the CI infrastructure.
The CI BlueBox functionalities are accessed over the winIDEA SDK Software Development Kit (SDK) and are licensed on a subscription basis.
Implementing iSYSTEM's BlueBoxes iC5000/iC5700 CI gives globally distributed development and test teams shared access to hardware debugging capabilities within the CI setup.
CI as a product is the combination of iSYSTEM BlueBox hardware, software, and consulting services on how to set up the hardware and software of a CI infrastructure, unburdening the individual developer from complex hardware setups on their desk.
