Low-Cost Code-Evaluation Tool
Intel¦s EV80C186EA/XL, and EV80C186EB and EV80C186EC evaluation boards provide a hardware environment for code execution and software debugging at a relatively low cost. Each board features an advanced CHMOS(R), 16-bit embedded processor that is a member of the industry standard 80186 family. The boards allow you to take full advantage of the power of the 80C186 architecture. All boards support powerdown and idle-mode operation for development of power-sensitive applications. The EV80C186EB features two independent serial channels providing a serial link for easy interprocessor communications, diagnostic and modem interfacing for today¦s "mobile office." Their memory (ROMsim) can be reconfigured to match your planned memory system, allowing for exact analysis of code execution speeds in a particular application. Popular features such as a symbolic single-line assembler/disassembler, single-step program execution, and 16 software breakpoints are standard.
Each evaluation board is hosted on an IBM PC or BIOS-compatible clone, already a standard development solution in most of today¦s engineering environments. The source code for the on-board monitor (written in ASM-86) is public domain. The program is about 2K bytes in length and can be easily modified for inclusion in your target hardware. In addition, third-party vendors can provide retargetable debuggers to further enhance your debug and development process.
Personal Computer Requirements
The EV80C186EA/XL, EV80C186EB, and EV80C186EC evaluation boards are hosted on an IBM PC, XT, AT, or BIOS-compatible clone. The PC must meet the following minimum requirements: 512K Bytes of memory; One 360K byte floppy-disk drive; PC DOS v3.1 or later; A serial port (COM 1 or COM 2) at 9600 baud; Language software.
