| The InSight Adapter enables programming and debugging of EM250 and EM260-based products via a standard 10-pin InSight Port connector on the target hardware. Access to the InSight Adapter is provided by TCP/IP connections over a Power-over-Ethernet capable 10/100 Ethernet connection. In addition to programming/debugging capabilities, the InSight Adapter contains an expansion connector that gives developers access to target hardware serial ports and GPIO. Using these extra I/O, developers can write sophisticated test drivers that simulate button presses or other I/O activity from their desktop. |

- Programming of the EM2xx family of chips
- Development programming from InSight Desktop
- Production programming from command-line interface
- InSight Port connectivity for debugging
- API Trace
Ember's unique minimally intrusive API trace for the EM2xx family is accomplished with a memory mapped interface, enabling API tracing of EmberZNet APIs without tying up a UART and drastically modifying timing like competing solutions. API traces are available through InSight Desktop
- PacketTrace
All EM2xx chips provide a complete non-intrusive trace of all packets arriving and departing the radio. The InSight Adapter permits this trace to be used for network analysis by InSight Desktop. Completely removes the uncertainty inherent in packet sniffer based tools.
- Virtual UART
Unique among ZigBee silicon providers, Ember's EM2xx family supplies developers with a printf function that operates over a Virtual UART. This debugging tool enables developers to send themselves messages during device operation without using a hardware serial port and with minimal timing impact on running code. Messages can be seen in InSight Desktop.
- SIF Debug Access
For the EM250 SoC, SIF debugging access permits standard microprocessor debugging including breakpoints, halt/step/run operations and access to memory and processor registers. Requires xIDE toolchain for debugger.
- Extended debugging connections
- UART access
Access target hardware's UART via a TCP socket interface for scripting and debugging
- GPIO access
Access to GPIO pins on the target hardware via a TCP socket for debugging functions such as button press emulation
- Supply of power to target hardware
Optionally supply up to 50mA of regulated power to the target hardware
