GETTING STARTED
2.1SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
•IBM* PC AT, XT or
•5 V power supply (the connector housing and contact pins are included in the kit).
2.2WHAT’S IN YOUR KIT
Evaluation Board | Your kit includes a board with either a 3.3 volt, 16 MHz |
| 80L186EB or 80L186EC microprocessor installed. Separately |
| packaged components included with the board are 5 VDC ver- |
| sions of the microprocessor and SRAM for conversion to a |
| 5 VDC evaluation platform. |
Monitor Program | The Embedded Controller Monitor (ECM) program supports |
| basic software and hardware evaluation and basic debug facilities |
| (LOAD, GO, STEP, etc.) on the evaluation board. The ECM con- |
| sists of two programs: |
| and |
| puter, called the host PC. These two programs communicate |
| through an asynchronous serial channel using a binary protocol |
| defined specifically for this application. |
| The source code for the monitor software is provided on a diskette |
| included in your kit; this allows you to update the software for |
| various operating conditions in your target application. |
Contents on Disk | In addition to Flash downloading software, a diskette provided in |
| the kit contains schematics, a pld file for the programmable logic |
| device used on the board, and a sample assembly file for working |
| the with LCD display. Compiler software is not included in the |
| kit. |
Software Development | The kit provides a software development kit, which includes a |
Kit | software debugger, locator, and sample code. |
Flash Loading | Users can download application programs to the |
Utility | memory for execution. The Flash loading utility is contained on a |
| diskette, and a separate manual, the CQI Flash Loader User’s |
| Manual, provides instructions for using this utility. |
Serial Cable | A serial cable is provided to connect the evaluation board to the |
| host PC. |
