CHAPTER 9: FUNCTION OPTION GENERATOR

CHAPTER 9 FUNCTION OPTION GENERATOR

9.1 Outline of the Function Option Generator winfog

The S1C63 chip allows several hardware specifications such as I/O port functions to be selected as mask options. This helps you to configure the hardware of your product by changing the S1C63 chip's mask patterns according to its specifications.

The Function Option Generator winfog is the software tool for creating the files necessary to generate mask patterns. Its graphical user interface (GUI) ensures easy selection mask options. From the files created by winfog, Seiko Epson produces the mask patterns for the S1C63 chip.

In addition, simultaneously with this file, winfog can create mask option setup files (Motorola S2 format data) that are required when debugging programs with the ICE. When using the ICE to debug a program, you can download this file from the host computer, making it possible to materialize optional functions on the ICE that are equivalent to those on the actual IC.

Fig. 9.2.1 Input/Output Files of winfog

Device information definition file (s1c63xxx.ini)

This file contains option lists for various types of microcomputers and other information. Always be sure to use the files presented by Seiko Epson. This file is effective for only the type of microcomputer indicated by the file name. Do not modify the contents of the file or use the file in other types of microcomputers.

Function option document file (zzzzzzzz.fdc)

This is a text format file in which the contents of selected mask options are stored. You can read this file into winfog and correct the already selected option settings. This file is packed along with completed other program/data files into a single file by the mask data checker winmdc, which we would like to have presented to Seiko Epson as the mask data file. From this file, Seiko Epson will create the mask patterns for the IC.

Function option HEX file (zzzzzzzz.fsa)

This is the Motorola S2 format file necessary to set the selected mask options in the ICE. When you debug programs with the ICE, download this file into the ICE using debugger commands.

∗1 The "xxx" in the file name denotes the model name of a microcomputer. For the "zzzzzzzz" part, any given file name can be specified.

∗2 For details on how to download mask options into the ICE, refer to Chapter 8, "Debugger".
