This unit
The VisionICE II is a JTAG emulator for PowerPC and MIPS embedded systems development, delivering hardware-assisted on-chip debugging integrated with Wind River's Tornado environment. The tool combines a high-speed Ethernet host interface with USB 2.0 connectivity and JTAG accelerator technology to enable real-time trace, breakpoints, memory access, and register control. Performance is optimized through hardware logic that caches common JTAG scan chains, delivering download speeds and debug throughput 4 to 10 times faster than comparable products.
Technical Specifications
- Core Architecture: Hardware-assisted debugger utilizing on-chip debugging services embedded in target microprocessors
- Host Connectivity: High-speed Ethernet connection to target; USB 2.0 with JTAG accelerator technology
- Performance Gain: 4 to 10 times faster download and debug throughput versus competitive products
- Software Integration: Bundled debugger provides fully integrated hardware/software debugging solution
Key Features
- Real-time trace and execution monitoring
- Internal and external hardware/software breakpoints
- Source-level debugging with memory and register observation
- On-chip debug target control: start/stop, single-step, step over/out, reset, and snapshot capture

Intel / Wind River / EST VisionICE II — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Intel / Wind River / EST VisionICE II. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Intel / Wind River / EST VisionICE II faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
