ADuC831
DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
There are two models of development tools available for the
ADuC831, namely:
QuickStart—Entry-level development system
QuickStart Plus—Comprehensive development system
These systems are described briefly below.
QuickStart Development System
The QuickStart Development System is an entry-level, low cost
development tool suite supporting the ADuC831. The system
consists of the following PC-based (Windows^® compatible)
hardware and software development tools.
Hardware:
ADuC831 Evaluation Board and
Serial Port Programming Cable.
Software:
ASPIRE Integrated Development
Environment. Incorporates 8051
assembler and serial port debugger.
Serial Download Software.
Miscellaneous:
CD-ROM Documentation and
Prototype Device.
Figure 65 shows the typical components of a QuickStart
Development System. A brief description of some of the software
tools components in the QuickStart Development System follows.
Download—In-Circuit Serial Downloader
The Serial Downloader is a Windows application that allows
the user to serially download an assembled program (Intel Hex
format file) to the on-chip program FLASH memory via the
serial COM1 port on a standard PC. An Application Note
(uC004) detailing this serial download protocol is available from
www.analog.com/microconverter.
ASPIRE—IDE
The ASPIRE Integrated Development Environment is a Windows
application that allows the user to compile, edit, and debug code
in the same environment. The ASPIRE software allows users to
debug code execution on silicon using the MicroConverter UART
serial port. The debugger provides access to all on-chip peripherals
during a typical debug session as well as single-step, animate,
and break-point code execution control.
Note, the ASPIRE IDE software is also included as part of the
QuickStart Plus System. As part of the QuickStart Plus System,
the ASPIRE IDE also supports mixed level and C source debug.
This is not available in the QuickStart System, but there is an
example project that demonstrates this capability.
QuickStart Plus Development System
The QuickStart Plus Development system offers users enhanced
nonintrusive debug and emulation tools. The System consists of
the following PC based (Windows compatible) hardware and
software development tools.
Hardware:
ADuC831 Prototype Board
Accutron Nonintrusive Single Pin Emulator
Software:
ASPIRE Integrated Development
Environment. Features full ‘C’ and
assembly emulation using the Accutron
single pin emulator.
Miscellaneous: CD-ROM Documentation.
