NXP Semiconductors DEMO9RS08KA8 Quick Start Manual

DEMO9RS08KA8

0. Introduction

This quick start guide will walk you through setting up your demo board, connecting it to the PC, and launching the
provided example. For more information, please read the demo board's user's manual.

1. Run the Factory Programmed Example (Standalone Mode)

1. Ensure that all of the "ENABLE" jumpers in the "MCU AND I/O" area are inserted.
2. Ensure that all of the "ENABLE" jumpers in the "SERIAL" area are inserted.
3. Ensure that the "POWER SEL" jumper selects the "UNREG" position.
4. Power on the Demonstration Board through the 12 V DC plug-in power supply.
5. The green "POWER" LED on the board should turn on.
6. Press the "SW0" push-button. Rotate the potentiometer. The "LED0" will blink with a frequency related to the
potentiometer value.
7. Press the "SW1" push-button. The "LED1" will blink with a frequency related to amount of light hitting the
photoresistor.
8. The value of the potentiometer or the light sensor is also sent to the RS-232 port (baud rate = 9600, data bits =
8, parity = N, stop bits = 1).

2. Host Mode

The same example above can be run from the host PC. To do this, the CodeWarrior Development Tools and the
SofTec Microsystems Additional Components must be installed first.

Install CodeWarrior Development Studio

To install the CodeWarrior Development Studio Special Edition, insert the CodeWarrior CD-ROM into your computer's
CD-ROM drive. A startup window will automatically appear. Follow the on-screen instructions.
If present, make sure to install all available service packs or other components for the MC9RS08KA8, available either
on the CodeWarrior CD or on the Freescale website (www.freescale.com).

Install SofTec Microsystems Additional Components

The SofTec Microsystems "System Software" CD-ROM contains other required components to your hard drive. These
components include:
SofTec Microsystems DLL for DEMO9RS08KA8 support;
Examples;
Demonstration Board's user's manual;
Demonstration Board's schematic;
Additional documentation.
