ICEbear variants
ICEbear (classic)
This is the popular ICEbear variant with support for debugging, flash programming and target
testing.
If not noted otherwise, all sections in this manual apply to this device.
1.1.2
ICEbear light
This variant is restricted as follows:
1. Support for flash programming only via the ICEbear ’light’ software (BFloader)
2. Windows 32 bit support only
3. No support for custom backend development provided by section5
Please find more information in the README files provided with the ICEbear light software.
1.1.3
ICEbearPlus
A faster variant supporting USB 2.0 High Speed mode and JTAG clocks up to 30 MHz. Apart
from that, it is compatible with the ICEbear classic, except that some extra pins can be used as
UART. The ICEbearPlus features a status LED.
The UART is normally disabled in order to not cause collisions with ground pins
of the standard ADI JTAG. If you wish to use the UART, you have to design your
14 pin connector accordingly or use an extra break out board. Contact us for
details.
