Step 1: Installing the EVM Board in Your PC Step 1: Installing the EVM Board in Your PC This section contains hardware installation information for the EVM. Preparing the EVM board for installation Before you install the EVM board, you must be sure that the board’s switches are set to correctly identify the I/O space that the board can use. - Page 8 Step 1: Installing the EVM Board in Your PC In most cases, you can leave the switch settings in the default position. However, you must ensure that the EVM I/O address space does not conflict with other system hardware. For example, if you have installed a bus mouse in your system, you may not be able to use the default switch settings for the I/O address space.

Step 3: Setting Up the Debugger Environment Step 3: Setting Up the Debugger Environment To ensure that your debugger works correctly, you must: Modify the PATH statement to include the C5xxhll directory. Define environment variables so that the debugger can locate all required files. - Page 12 Step 3: Setting Up the Debugger Environment Invoking the new or modified batch file If you modify the autoexec.bat file, be sure to invoke it before invoking the debugger for the first time. To invoke this file, enter: AUTOEXEC If you create an initdb.bat file, you must invoke it before invoking the debugger for the first time.
- Page 13 Step 3: Setting Up the Debugger Environment Setting up the environment variables An environment variable is a special system symbol that the debugger uses for finding and obtaining certain types of information. The debugger uses three environment variables named D_DIR, D_SRC, and D_OPTIONS. This sec- tion tells you how to set up these environment variables.
- Page 14 Step 3: Setting Up the Debugger Environment Identifying the correct I/O switches Refer to your entries in Table 2 (page 5). If you didn’t modify the I/O switches, skip this step. If you modified the I/O switch settings, you must use the debugger’s –p option to identify the I/O space that the emulator is using.

Step 3: Setting Up the Debugger Environment Resetting the EVM At the DOS prompt, reset the EVM by entering the evmrst command: evmrst If you decide to change your I/O switch settings, you can specify a different I/O space by entering the –p option following evmrst. You can identify the I/O space by modifying the D_OPTIONS environment variable in your autoex- ec.bat or initdb.bat file and invoking evmrst. -
