I. INTRODUCTION
EeRom-8U ROM Emulator is aimed at developers who focus on making ROM based programs
and data including embedded systems, BIOS, video games, robotics, printer drivers, graphic
controller, postscript interpreters, character font libraries, and other ROM based application. In
general, the emulator is used during program and data developing period to eliminate the
frustration of repeated EPROM burn-erase cycles. EeRom-8U ROM Emulator easily plugs in place
of the ROM through the emulator’s target adapter.
Other ROM Emulators can emulate only EPROM. But EeRom-8U ROM Emulator can emulate
many types of memories (EPROM, Flash-ROM, EEPROM, NVRAM) currently used. So EeRom-8U
ROM Emulator can be called a “memory emulator”. Also EeRom-8U can properly operate with
user’s board using 8bit/16bit/32bit data bus. EeRom-8U ROM Emulator adopts USB interface.
This helps the user to have faster communication speed than the parallel port. From this, the
user can enormously reduce the developing time and adopt high speed SRAM(15ns) for
matching well with high speed RISC and CISC CPU. Therefore both professional and novice
program developers will find that EeRom-8U ROM Emulator can be an exceptional valuable tool.
< The Characteristics of EeRom-8U >
① High speed USB interface (Supports Plug & Play)
② 1M Byte (8M bit) / sec download speed
③ Supports 8bit data bus by itself
④ Uses 1MB high speed memory for proper emulation
: 15ns high speed SRAM
⑤ Supports EeRom-8U without outside electric power supply
⑥ Convenient software environment: supports Windows/9598/ME/2000/XP
⑦ Supports hex (Intel/Motorola type), binary file format
⑧ Disassembling function supports 11 CPU types
⑨ Safety circuit against inverse insertion

I. USB DRIVER SETUP AND INSTALLATION
1. To Install USB Driver
If you are the first time user, when you connect EeRom-8U and USB Cable, PC will install
Hardware Wizard by Plug and Play function in order to find the corresponding drive. As
following the Hardware Wizard, choose
ERUSB.INF provided with the instrument and install
the driver. Afterwards, the program is saved to your PC so that whenever you connect
EeRom-8U, the PC automatically finds the corresponding driver and installs it.
2. To Install EeRom-8U Software
1). Run the SETUP.EXE file located on the provided install version program, then a startup
screen appears as shown below
.
Picture 1. Welcome message.
2). Follow the on-screen instruction, and choose a directory that you desire to install
the program.
