The 64000 provided a file system and text editor for writing software. Emulation and analysis cards are interconnected with an Emulation Bus that is completely separated from the Host Bus.

The terms user processor and user memory describe those components in the system being developed. User system is the microprocessor system being developed.In the 64100A and 64110A the Host Bus is the workstation processor's address, data, input/output and control buses, which also connect to the cards in the card cage. Host is the processor that operates the mainframe.Mainframe is the physical workstation or card cage holding the option cards.HP 64000 functional block diagram Terminology Īs shown in the block diagram to the right, a 64000 system consisted of a number of components whose names had specific definitions: Cards for this system carried the numbers 647xx, and were not compatible with the other systems. It was marketed as a lower cost development system (compared to the 64120A) that could be operated with an IBM PC-compatible personal computer rather than a workstation. 64700A card cage was introduced in 1988.
HP DISK IMAGE TOOL SOFTWARE
Software and hardware was introduced for development of 32-bit microprocessors. The name "HP 64000-UX Microprocessor Development Environment" was used with these systems.
HP DISK IMAGE TOOL SERIES
It fit the same option cards as the 64100A and 64110A, and was connected via an IEEE-488 bus to a standard HP 9000 Series 300 workstation running the HP-UX operating system rather than using a specially designed workstation such as the 64100A and 64110A. It used the same HP processor as the 64100A.

When introduced the HP 64000 had two distinguishing characteristics. A wide variety of optional cards and software were available tailored to particular microprocessors. The systems assisted software development with assemblers and compilers for Pascal and C, provided hardware for in-circuit emulation of processors and memory, had debugging tools including logic analysis hardware, and a programmable read-only memory (PROM) chip programmer.

The HP 64000 Logic Development System, introduced 17 September 1979, is a tool for developing hardware and software for products based on commercial microprocessors from a variety of manufacturers.
