My problem with single-chip microcontrolelrs
(PICs, etc) is trying to
debug the firmware. If I have external program memory, I can hang a logic
analyser off said memory's address bus and see just what the firmware is
doing. But there's no way to really trace the code running in a PIC.
Yes, you have. It is called ICD2. And of course, you can use a MCS-51
with external ROM/RAM. Why not? I can't afford the real ICE units for the
PIC, etc.
Sure you can. Have you searched for it? You cand do a
In-Circuit-Debugger for less than $20
