NOTE 1 - The chip select order is reversed between the M16C and M32C family of devices. The silk screen on the SKPCOMMS board is for M16C. So for M32C, you would short the position for CS3 if you desired CS0.
Target M16C ROM Monitor Resources or related ICD application notes. 6.3 Memory Map Because the SKPCOMMS board was designed to work will all the standard SKP kits, the memory map for address mapped components (SRAM and Ethernet) will be different for each device depending on the chip select jumpers used.
7.3 Operating Environment Table 7-3 lists the environmental conditions for using and storing the SKPCOMMS board. When storing the board, place it in a conductive bag and then in the packing box your product was shipped in from the factory.
This section discusses how to install the SKPCOMMS software and development tools manually (i.e. when not using the SKPCOMMS installer). (1) Create an SKPCOMMS folder under C:\MTOOL on your PC and then copy the directories from the \SKPCOMMS\files folder on the SKP CD to this folder.
