Arium ECM 50


Acquisition of the day

Arium ECM 50 ICE for Pentium 3 systems.  With the right PDB, you could debug Xeon or Pentium 3, (desktop and Mobile) parts.

Came with a regular PDB, and a mobile target.  I think these are for P3's.   I'll have to dig up a +5 power supply somewhere.

MT48lc4m16a2  1M x 16 Sram
Freescale / Motorola Power MPC 855
A blip about the use of this chip, and capabilities.  The ECM 50's main board was set up to allow for attachment to ICE which could debug the 855 as well.

    Actually your probes are for Pentium 4 and Pentium M.

      I worked for Arium and did the Pentium 3 on these PBDs. Until they update the interface, the ECM-50 supports P3, P4, etc., as well as Itanium. I did all of the Itanium support, but Arium withdrew it as a product.

      Different PBD's of course.

    Hello Jim, do you know where I can buy an old American Arium that works on an early version of Xeon? The latest XDP goes for about $12K ($4K for hardware, $8k/year for software subscription). BTW, did you use to work with Kevin K? Last I heard from him, he was about to go to dental schoo
