ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual describes how to set up and use the Intel 186 EB/EC Evaluation Board. The board
is used to evaluate hardware and software performance and provide an “emulation-like” feel
when executing and debugging user-written code. This board operates at either 3.3 volts or 5.0
volts. It supports the following processors:
• 80C186EB/80C188EB
• 80L186EB/80L188EB
• 80C186EC/80C188EC
• 80L186EC/80L188EC.
The 3.3 V, 16 MHz 80L186EB or 80L186EC processor is installed on the evaluation board. This
manual covers both processors.
