Supported Host Environments

The following system configurations are required on the host PC:
Microsoft Windows® XP SP1, Windows 2000 SP3, Windows NT 4.0 SP6, Windows 98 SE
Pentium II/233 MHz processor or higher up to Pentium IV, 2.8 GHz
96 MB RAM or more
25 MB hard disk space or more
Super VGA video adapter
CD-ROM drive for software installation
One or more RS-232 communication ports

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.
Caution:
Follow the steps below to setup the Z8 Encore! XP F0822 Series Flash MCU evaluation board:
1. Connect the serial port of the PC to the Z8 Encore! Smart Cable DB-9 connector.
2. Connect the Z8 Encore! Smart Cable to the Z8 Encore! XP F0822 Series Flash MCU evaluation board pin header P2.
3. Connect the power supply to the evaluation board at J1 (see Figure 1).
