OVERVIEW
Samsung provides a powerful and easy-to-use development support system in turnkey form. The development
support system is configured with a host system, debugging tools, and support software. For the host system, any
standard computer that operates with MS-DOS, Windows 95, and 98 as its operating system can be used. One
type of debugging tool including hardware and software is provided: the sophisticated and powerful in-circuit
emulator, SMDS2+, and OPENice for S3C7, S3C9, S3C8 families of microcontrollers. The SMDS2+ is a new and
improved version of SMDS2. Samsung also offers support software that includes debugger, assembler, and a
program for setting options.
SHINE
Samsung Host Interface for In-Circuit Emulator, SHINE, is a multi-window based debugger for SMDS2+. SHINE
provides pull-down and pop-up menus, mouse support, function/hot keys, and context-sensitive hyper-linked help.
It has an advanced, multiple-windowed user interface that emphasizes ease of use. Each window can be sized,
moved, scrolled, highlighted, added, or removed completely.
SAMA ASSEMBLER
The Samsung Arrangeable Microcontroller (SAM) Assembler, SAMA, is a universal assembler, and generates
object code in standard hexadecimal format. Assembled program code includes the object code that is used for
ROM data and required SMDS program control data. To assemble programs, SAMA requires a source file and an
auxiliary definition (DEF) file with device specific information.
SASM88
The SASM88 is a relocatable assembler for Samsung's S3C8-series microcontrollers. The SASM88 takes a
source file containing assembly language statements and translates into a corresponding source code, object
code and comments. The SASM88 supports macros and conditional assembly. It runs on the MS-DOS operating
system. It produces the relocatable object code only, so the user should link object file. Object files can be linked
with other object files and loaded into memory.
HEX2ROM
HEX2ROM file generates ROM code from HEX file which has been produced by assembler. ROM code must be
needed to fabricate a microcontroller which has a mask ROM. When generating the ROM code (.OBJ file) by
HEX2ROM, the value "FF" is filled into the unused ROM area up to the maximum ROM size of the target device
automatically.
TARGET BOARDS
Target boards are available for all S3C8-series microcontrollers. All required target system cables and adapters
are included with the device-specific target board.
