- Answer
- The DSU probe and OCD emulator require the use of a target board. These tools use the debug functionality that is built in a microcontroller. Therefore, they cannot be used without a target board on which the microcontroller is mounted.
There are other types of development tools that can be used without a target board. With these tools, however, some operations involving external inputs or interrupts cannot be verified.
