iC7pro BlueBox

The iC7pro BlueBox is a next-generation platform designed for efficient flashing, debugging, tracing and testing of an embedded system.

Through a low-level debug connection, a deep insight and control of the SoC is provided right from power-on reset.

mDIO port

The mDIO port provides four digital signals, which can interact with the embedded target. Each can be configured either for input or output operation. You can use it as input trigger, hardware watchdog disable, GPIO pin toggling, HIL control, and Synchronous observing.

 

SDK Support

All iC7pro SoC and mDIO interfaces are fully controllable via winIDEA SDK and and can be used as means of measurement or control in test automation.
