    Step 2: Installing the Programmer Software 1.3 Step 2: Installing the Programmer Software This section explains the process of installing the programmer software on a hard-disk system. 1) Make a backup copy of the product disk. 2) On your hard disk or system disk, create a directory named 370prg. This directory will contain the programmer software.

  • Page 20: Using A Program-Item Icon

    Step 2: Installing the Programmer Software Using a program-item icon A program-item icon represents an application that you can run from Windows. Program-item icons are contained inside program groups. The programmer software already has a standard icon that you can use. To use the standard programmer icon, follow these steps: 1) If the program group in which you want to place the icon is not already open, double-click on it to open it.

    Step 3: Setting Up the Programmer Environment 1.4 Step 3: Setting Up the Programmer Environment To ensure that your programmer works correctly, you must perform some tasks before you invoke the programmer for the first time or anytime you power up or reboot your PC.

  • Page 22: Setting Up The Environment Variables

    Step 3: Setting Up the Programmer Environment Modifying the PATH statement Define a path to the programmer directory. The general format for doing this PATH=C:\370PRG This allows you to invoke the programmer without specifying the name of the directory that contains the programmer executable file. If you are modifying an autoexec.bat file that already contains a PATH statement, simply include ;C:\370prg at the end of the statement, as shown in Figure 1–2 (a) .

    Using the Menu Bar and the Pulldown Menus 2.3 Using the Menu Bar and the Pulldown Menus In addition to the command window, the programmer has a menu bar, which gives you an alternative method for entering many of the programmer com- mands.

  • Page 30: Defining A Memory Map

    Defining a Memory Map 2.4 Defining a Memory Map Before you begin a programmer session, you must supply the programmer with a valid memory map. The memory map tells which areas of memory the software can access and which are inaccessible. Typically, you define the map to match the MEMORY definition in your linker command file.

  • Page 31: Programming Memory Devices

    Programming Memory Devices 2.5 Programming Memory Devices The programmer allows you to transfer data from a PC to on-chip EPROM/ EEPROM in order to program a ’370 device. The programmer provides you with a complete set of commands for programming a memory device. These commands allow you to: Set the device name.

  • Page 32: Setting The Device Name

    Programming Memory Devices Setting the device name The internal configuration of programmable devices differs from one device to another, and the programmer must be able to access information about the de- vice that you want to program. Table 2–2 shows the programmer abbreviations for specific device names.

  • Page 33: Verifying That The Device Eprom Is Blank

    Programming Memory Devices Verifying that the device EPROM is blank If you want to program EPROM on a ’370 device, you must first verify that the device is blank. EEPROM does not need to be blank before programming. To verify that an EPROM is blank, use the BLANK command. You can use the BLANK command in either of two ways: Use the BLANK command with the following syntax: blank address, length...

  • Page 34: Transferring Data Into The Device

    Programming Memory Devices Transferring data into the device Once you have prepared your ’370 device for programming, you can program the device with the contents of the programmer’s memory. To do so, use the PROG command. You can use the PROG command in either of two ways: Use the PROG command with the following syntax: prog address, length [ , filename ] If you enter the PROG command without any parameters, the programmer...
