System Configurations; On-Line System Data Flow - Intel iUP-200A User Manual

General Information
The iPPS software provides the software tools to perform automatic interleave
mapping of data and machine code into Intel PROMs. (The iPPS PROM Program­
ming Software User's Guide describes iPPS operation.)

System Configurations

To program PROMs with the iUP-200A/201A universal programmer in on-line
mode, the iPPS software must be running on the Intellec development system. In
addition, the universal programmer must be powered on and connected to the In­
tellec development system through an RS-232 configured cable. If you are using
the iUP-201A model, you must select on-line mode with the ON LINE switch
(refer to Chapter 3).
Figure 1-4 illustrates the system data flow in on-line mode. The four major system
devices (PROM, buffer, file, and URAM) are shown with arrows indicating the di­
rections of data flow between these devices.
The host development system contains the buffer and file devices, while the uni­
versal programmer contains the PROM and URAM devices. The URAM device is
only available in the iUP-201 A universal programmer. The PROM device is
shown as part of a personality module.
The PROM device is the PROM component that is plugged into a socket on the
personality module.
The buffer device provides a temporary area where the iPPS software stores and
manipulates data.
The file device is an ISIS file that contains programs or data.
