MMCEVB2107

MMCEVB2107RG/D REV 1 Semiconductor Products Sector Product Release Guide Motorola MMCEVB2107 Evaluation Board 1 Overview This guide explains installation and other information for the MMCEVB2107 Evaluation Board (EVB2107), a development tool of Motorola's M•CORE family. This tool lets you develop code to be embedded in an MMC2107 microcontroller unit. A standalone tool, the EVB2107 uses an RS232 connection to your computer. This connection lets you use Motorola’s System Development Software (SysDS), which comes with your EVB2107. The SysDS includes a loader and the Picobug monitor. The GNU source-level debugger also comes with your EVB2107. The SysDS loader lets you download your code into SRAM (for execution) or into external or internal FLASH memory (for execution or for storage in non-volatile memory). For operating instructions and reference information, see the EVB2107 user’s manual. For additional information about the entire family of M•CORE products, visit the web site http://www.mot.com/SPS/MCORE/. 2 System Requirements You need an IBM PC or compatible computer, running the Windows 95 or WindowsNT (version 4.0) operating system. The computer requires a Pentium (or equivalent) microprocessor, 16 megabytes of RAM, 50 megabytes of free hard-disk space, an SVGA color monitor, and an RS232 serial-communication port. You also need a C compiler, an M•CORE assembler, and an M•CORE linker. To use the Picobug debug monitor, you also need Hyperterminal or a comparable terminal-emulation program To get the most from your EVB2107, you should be an experienced C or M•CORE assembly programmer. The power supply that comes with your EVB2107 converts line power to the input power that the EVB2107 needs: 12 volts at a minimum of 0.5 amperes. SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCT INFORMATION 3 EVB2107 Software The factory ships your EVB2107 with system software already downloaded into FLASH memory. This means that you immediately can use the Picobug monitor to debug your code. The CD-ROM that comes with your EVB2107 contains such additional software as GNU source-level tools and SysDS. Still more compatible development tools are available from other companies. (For the latest list of such third-party tools, visit either of these web pages: http://www.mot.com/SPS/MCORE/tools_new_partners.htm or http://www.mot.com/SPS/MCORE/tools_tools.htm.) 4 Installing Software Follow these steps to install software for your EVB2107: NOTE: 1. Insert the MMC2107 CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The install shield should begin automatically. (If the install shield does not start automatically, click on the Start button and select Run, then use the Run dialog box to run file Autorun.exe of the CD-ROM.) 2. An M•CORE install shield screen appears. Click on the M•CORE Tools button. This brings up a second install shield screen. 3. To install the GNU software, click on the second screen’s Install GNU Tools button, then follow the instructions of successive screens. An installation-complete message appears, indicating successful installation. Install the GNU software into the default directory; do not browse. Changing the installation directory may give undesirable results. (For instructions on using the GNU software, see the GNU documentation on the CD-ROM.) NOTE: 4. Click on the OK button of the installation-complete message box to return to the second install shield screen. Click on the Back button to return to the first install shield screen. 5. Click on the MMC2107 button. This brings up a new screen that includes Install SysDS Loader and Read Me buttons. To install the SysDS loader, click on the Install SysDS loader button, then follow the instructions of successive screens. A copy-successful message appears, indicating successful installation. Be sure to use the install shield to install the SysDS loader. Merely copying the SysDS loader file from the MMC2107 CD-ROM does not install the program correctly. (For instructions on using the SysDS loader, see the EVB2107 user’s manual.) 6. Click on the OK button of the copy-successful message box to return to the first install shield screen. 7. To see the EVB2107 readme file, click again on the MMC2107 button, then click on the Read Me button. 8. When you are done with installation activities, click on the Exit button of any screen. 5 Factory Hints 1. Your EVB2107 supports Picobug only at the communication rate of 19200 baud. MMCEVB2107RG/D REV 1 2 M•CORE MOTOROLA 2. If GNU tools do not work after you have installed them, your initial environment space may be too small: it should be set to at least 4096 bytes. (The way to make this setting may be different for each system. For assistance, refer to your Windows documentation, to Microsoft technical support, or to M•CORE technical support.) 3. It is possible for the FLASH programmer to load part of user code into FLASH memory and the rest into SRAM. In such a situation, the verify function applies only to the part of the code in FLASH. (That is, the verify function would not detect a download error to SRAM.) 4. If your host computer is a Compaq machine, its serial-port driver could make your EVB2107 hang up. In an extreme case, the computer could hang up as well. To prevent such a problem, get the latest BIOS (which includes a serial-port driver) from the Compaq web site: http://www.compaq.com/support/files/desktops/us/index.html. Among the information at this site is an appropriate Compaq phone number. 5. Any unsuccessful download during a FLASH programmer session may prevent complete closure of the FLASH programmer task, so that the task does not release the communications port. In such a case, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete: • For Windows 95, this brings up the Close Program dialog box. Select Motorola SysDS Loader, then click on the End Task button. • For WindowsNT, this brings up the Security dialog box. Click on the Task Manager button, to bring up the Task Manager dialog box. Select Motorola SysDS Loader, then click on the End Task button. M•CORE MOTOROLA 6. If you use the alternate EVB2107 memory map (that is, if the Swap 02/20 subswitch is OFF), you must use an EBDI or other debugger that communicates through the OnCE™ interface. The alternate memory map prevents use of Motorola system software, which is FLASH based. 7. Resetting the EVB2107 (or cycling board power) during operation of SysDS Loader software may end communication between the board and the SysDS Loader software. If so, exit, then restart, the software. 8. If you use the SysDS Loader to download an S-record, the value of the S-record count field must be a multiple of 4. (This requirement may require a change to factory settings of CodeWarrior software.) 9. Do not let your own application erase EVB2107 system software (FLASH sectors 0 through 3). Recovery from such an erasure is possible with the help of Motorola Customer Service, but requires an EBDI. 10. Should you experience problems using an EBDI with your EVB2107, the switch S1 Boot Ex/In subswitch likely is set to ON. Set the subswitch to OFF (that is, configure internal boot). 11. If you use an EBDI, do not use the SysDS Loader Erase FLASH button. Use instead the Erase Sector button, to erase FLASH sectors individually. (The Erase FLASH button does work correctly if you have serial communication with the host computer.)
