The AMD® SD188ES/SD188EM Demonstration Board is designed as an
exceptionally small, low-cost product for demonstration of the AMD
and Am188EM microcontrollers. See page ix for a block diagram of the board.
The SD188ES/SD188EM demonstration board is a stand-alone evaluation
platform for the Am188ES or Am188EM microcontroller. The Am188ES and
Am188EM microcontrollers integrate peripherals such as 12 chip-select
controllers, serial controllers, 32 programmable I/Os, three timers, an interrupt
controller, and watchdog timer to increase system functionality while reducing
overall cost. The memory controller supports a glueless connection to SRAM,
EPROM, Flash memory , and pseudo-static RAM. The Am188ES and Am188EM
microcontrollers also feature an innovative bus design that frees the processor to
run at nearly twice the speed of standard 80C188 processors while using
commodity memory devices.
The SD188ES/SD188EM demo nstration board is des igned with a 104-pin Am188
expansion interface that provides access to the Am188ES and Am188EM
microcontrollers signals. The Am188 expansion interface facilitates prototyping
with external devices by using the SD188ES/SD188EM demonstration board as
the minimal system core of a design.
The SD188ES/SD188EM demonstration board highlights the Am188ES and
Am188EM microcontrollers’ serial ports, glueless interface to SR AM and Flash
memory, and the expansion interface to peripheral attachments. A complete
description of the board can be found in Chapter 2, “Demonstration Board
Functional Descri ption”.

Theory of Operation
The SD188ES/SD188EM demonstration board demonstrates the basic processor
functionality and fea tures of the Am18 8ES an d Am188E M microc ontroll ers, and
the simplicity of their system des ign. As a stand-alone platform, the bo ard enables
you to test the Am188ES and Am188EM microcontrollers’ performance and
functionality. The minimal number of components on the board exhibits the
integration present in the processor.

2. Connect the demonstration board’s DB-9 serial port (either P1 or P0 on the ES
version of the board; P1 on the EM version o f the board) to an av ailable COM
port. Use the serial cable included in the SD188ES/SD188EM demonstration
board kit and note that a DB-9 to DB-25 serial connector adapter is provided
if your host system requires it. The pinout of the demonstration board’s serial

3. Connect th e power supply to the barrel connector on the SD18 8ES/SD188EM
demonstration board.
4. Apply power to the board by connecting the power supply to an electrical outlet.
Once the board is powered up, the LEDs (CR3-CR10) should flash in an
oscillating pattern.
CAUTION: If using your own power supply, ensure that
it is a 5-V supply with the proper polarity (see page 2-14).
Using a 9-V supply will permanently damage the board.

5. Invo ke the terminal emul ation program at 19200 baud, no par ity, 8 data bits, and 1
stop bit; enable the software flow control (Xon/Xoff), if supported.
6. Reset the board by depressing and releasing the RESET switch (see location in
Figure 2-1 on page 2-3). The LEDs on the board (CR3-CR10) will again flash in
an oscillating pattern for three seconds, as they did upon power up.
During the three-second period while the LEDs are oscillating, type an a in the
terminal window to ensure that the E86MON software uses the correct baud rate.
When the E86MON software receives an a, it adjusts its baud rate (if necessary)
and displays the welcome message and prompt.
If you type a character other than an a, or type no character at all, the E86MON
software still displays the welcome mess age and prompt, but may be using an
incorrect baud rate. Depressing an d releasing the RESET swit ch gives you another
opportunity to type an a.
7. To display the version of the E86MON software and the command s available, ty pe

Table 1-1. Installation Troubleshooting
ProblemSolution
1.1
Nothing happens when
pushing the RESET
button.
The computer does not
respond with the E86MON
software prompt.
After typing a during reset,
the terminal emulation
software displays
unreadable characters.
After a processor reset, the
LEDs do not flash in the
expected oscillating
pattern.
The terminal emulation
program locks up the
software or PC.
Sometimes it is difficult to make a good
connection when pushing the small RESET
button. If all else fails, remove the power supply
from the AC electrical outlet and disconnect and
reconnect the power supply . The LEDs will flash
in an oscillating pattern when the reset is
successful.
Reset the board by pressing the RESET switch and
typing an a while the LEDs are flashing in an
oscillating pattern. If this does not work, verify the
power, check the cables, etc.
Check the baud rate setting for the terminal
emulation software. It sh ould be set to 19200. Also
check the word length (8), stop bits (1), parity (N),
and turn off any hardware flow control.
Check that the power LED is on and the correct
voltage is supplied to the board. Ensure that the
polarity of the power connector is correct.
Check the COM port connection with the target
board. Make sure that the same COM port is
selected in the terminal emulation software. In
some PCs if the correct COM port is not specified,
the software will fail to function—it will lock in
a continuous loop waiting for an answer f rom the
incorrect serial port.
The power LED does not
turn on with power.
Immediately disconnect t he power supply. Ensure
that the polarity of the power connector is correct.
This is a very serious failure of the hardware. If
the power source is connected incorrectly, the
board will be permanently damaged.
There is a problem you
cannot resolve.

Functional Description
The SD188ES/SD188EM de monstration board prov ides a completely stand-alone
microcontroller -based evaluation platform in a low-cost , exceptionally small formfactor product. The SD188ES/SD188EM demonstration board was designed to
meet the needs of customers working with the Am188ES and Am188EM
microcontrollers.

Layout and Placement
The design of the SD188ES/SD188EM demonstration board emphasizes ease of
use and small size. Refer to Figure 2-1 on page 2-3 for board layout and component
placement.
The SD188ES/SD188EM demo nstration b oard has the Flash and SRAM memory
devices (U4 and U3) directly below the processor. This placement keeps the
memory devices as close as possible to the processor to minimize noise and trace
reflections. The 40-MHz fundamental mode crystal (Y1) is located to the righ t of
the processor. The expansion interface (J2 and J3) is located at the bottom of the
board for easy connection and access. Finally, the 5.5-mm power-supply barrel
connector (J1) is positioned in the upper, left corner of the board.
The RS-232 serial interfaces are positioned on the right of the board. Please note
that the ES version of the board features two serial ports (P0 and P1), which are
driven by the two asynchronous serial interfaces on the Am188ES microcontroller .
The Am188EM microcontroller provides one asynchronous serial interface so the
EM version of the board implements the serial port with a DB-9 connector (P1).
