2.1 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
• IBM* PC AT, XT or BIOS-compatible computer host system (interfaces via COM1 or
COM2 at 9600 baud).
• 5 V power supply (the connector housing and contact pins are included in the kit).
2.2 WHAT’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: RISM-186 executes in the evaluation board
and ECM-86 executes in an IBM PC or BIOS-compatible com-
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
Kit
The kit provides a software development kit, which includes a
software debugger, locator, and sample code.
Flash Loading
Utility
Users can download application programs to the on-board Flash
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.
