This chapter describes the installation of hardware and software tools for the Z8 Encore! Evaluation Kit. Also describes setting up the evaluation board, substituting plug configurations of the universal 9 V DC power supply, and installing the ZDS II—IDE Z8 Encore! software.

Setting up the Evaluation Board

The PC communicates with the Z8 Encore! Flash MCU Evaluation board using the serial port of the PC. A Z8 Encore! Smart Cable converts the RS-232 signals into the 3.3 V bidirectional open-drain signal needed to communicate with the on-chip debugger of the eZ8. This Z8 Encore! Smart Cable is a small circuit board with an attached cable and a six-pin right angle female connector that attaches to the evaluation board.

Caution: Always use a grounding strap to prevent damage resulting from electro- static discharge (ESD).

Follow the steps below to setup the Z8 Encore! evaluation board:

1.Connect the serial port of the PC to the Z8 Encore! Smart Cable female DB9 connector.

2.Connect the Z8 Encore! Smart Cable to the Z8 Encore! Flash MCU evaluation board pin header P4.

3.Connect the 9 V DC universal power supply to the evaluation board, then to an electrical outlet.

For the Z8 Encore! development kit external connections, see Figure 2 on page 6.
