CHAPTER 1: GENERAL
S5U1C63000A MANUAL EPSON 3
(S1C63 FAMILY ASSEMBLER PACKAGE)
The tools listed below are Windows GUI applications for creating mask data. A device information
definition file (s1c63xxx.ini) is required to run these tools. The CD-ROM contains the device information
definition files for the models supported with the following tools. For unsupported models, model
specific Development Tools are provided.
Function option generator (winfog.exe)
This tool creates an ICE function option setup file after selecting the mask options of the S1C63xxx
and the function option document file that is necessary to generate IC mask patterns. You can create
function option data by selecting the appropriate item using the check boxes.
Segment option generator (winsog.exe)
This tool creates an ICE segment option setup file after selecting the segment options of the S1C63xxx
and the segment option document file that is necessary to generate IC mask patterns. You can create
segment assignment data by merely clicking on the display memory map and segment decode table
shown on the window. The winsog is used only for the model that has segment options.
Melody assembler (winmla.exe)
This tool converts the melody data created using an editor into the melody ROM and melody option
data for the S1C63xxx melody generator. The winmla is used only for the model with a melody output
function.
Mask data checker (winmdc.exe)
This tool checks the data in development-completed program ROM/data ROM files and option
document files to create the mask data file that will be presented to Seiko Epson.
