Introduction and Installation

This chapter describes how each programmer operates, how to install hard- ware, and how to install software. It also gives examples on getting started.

Chapter 1 comprises the following sections:
Section		Page
1.1	Microcontroller Programmer Overview and Description	. 1-2
1.2	Gang Programmer Overview and Description	. 1-4
1.3	Properly Installing the Programmer Hardware	. 1-8
1.4	Properly Installing the Programmer Software	1-14
1.5	Invoking the Programmer Software	1-16
1.6	Getting StartedÐExample Sessions	1-17

Because of obvious differences between the microcontroller programmer and the gang programmer, icons are used to distinguish descriptions and informa- tion specific to each type of programmer. When there are no icons present, you should assume the information is common to all programmers.

This icon is used to distinguish descriptions and information specific to the microcontroller programmer.

This icon is used to distinguish descriptions and informa- tion specific to the gang programmer.

When an icon is present, the information from the icon to the next icon, or to the next section number (that is, 2.1, 2.2, 3.5, etc.), is specific to the program- mer symbolized by the icon.

Texas Instruments provides a hotline to assist you with technical questions about the TMS370 family products and development tools. Phone (713) 274-2370 between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. central time for techni- cal assistance.
