Setting up the Evaluation Board
The PC communicates with the Z8 Encore! XP F0822 Series Flash MCU evaluation board
using the serial port of the PC. A Z8 Encore! Smart Cable converts the RS-232 signals into
the 3.3 V bidirectional open-drain signal needed to communicate with the On-Chip
Debugger of the eZ8.

Connecting the Universal Power Supply
There are two methods of connecting the universal power supply: the plug configurations
method or the Hewlett Packard power cord method.
Plug Configuration Method
The universal power supply kit features several different plug configurations in one box
and the power supply itself in another. The power supply ships with a slide-out plate that
must be removed to insert the location-specific plug configurations.
1. Remove the slide-out plate.
2. Select the plug configuration specific to the power requirements of your locale and
insert it into the slot that remains after removing the slide-out plate.
