Tips & Examples
- Before doing any hardware change to the EVBplus2 board (e.g. moving the position of the jumpers) unplug the power supply from the board.
- When using the BUFFALO Monitor remember to:
- Put J15 in BUFFALO position, and J22 in TRACE position
- Enable the Terminal Window,
- Set the COM to 9600,N,8,1 (baud rate 9600 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, Xon/Xoff Flow control),
- Reset the board,
- Type in the terminal window: load t,
- Download the s19,
- Type in the terminal window: go start-address
- When using the Wytec Monitor remember to:
- Put J15 in WYTEC position, and J22 in NO TRACE position
- Enable Wytec tools
- Set the COM to 38400,N,8,1 (baud rate 38400 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, Xon/Xoff Flow control),
- choose the s19 file to download, and click select file
- invoke the W11Bug debugger (click debugger)
- In the W11BUG window type: go start-address
- To exit W11BUG without locking the COM port in use, you must type the sequence: ESC, F10, E
- W11BUG has troubles to find files which are not in the Ex_WYTEC directory, so before
downloading an s19 file to the board make sure to copy it in Ex_WYTEC
- Make sure to add the location of the binaries of the GNU 68HC11/68HC12 compiler to your PATH environmental variable (e.g. C:/gnu-6811/bin/)
