This section explains:
• Configuration of the M68ICS08RK2 in-circuit simulator board
• Limitations of the RKICS
• Installing the hardware
• Installing the software
• Connecting the board to a target system
In interactive mode, the RKICS is connected to the serial port of a host PC. The
actual inputs and outputs of a target system can be used during simulation of
source code.
In software stand-alone mode, the RKICS is not connected to the PC. The
ICS08RKZ software can be used as a stand-alone simulator running on the PC.
Ordinary amounts of static electricity from clothing or the work environment
can damage or degrade electronic devices and equipment. For example, the
electronic components installed on the printed circuit board are extremely
sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Wear a grounding wrist strap
whenever handling any printed circuit board. This strap provides a conductive
path for safely discharging static electricity to ground.
The RKICS includes a single 4-inch × 6-inch printed circuit board (PCB)
(M68ICS08RK2). Figure 2-1 shows a diagram of the RKICS board,
Figure 2-2 shows a block diagram of the RKICS board, and Figure 2-3 is the
functional block diagram.
