Summary:

The COP8-SKFLASH-00 Starter Kit provides a low cost, easy-to-use environment for quickly starting the development and debugging of COP8FLASH applications.

The following COP8Flash devices are supported:

• COP8S/8C in 68PLCC - Complete code development, simulation, and target execution/debugging for all family devices. The 68 pin target COP8CDR9 device is a superset of these families.
• For 44PLCC packages, or for COP8A support, use the COP8-SKFLASH-01 board.

The development environment includes a Windows IDE, with COP8 Assembler, Linker, Librarian, Instruction Simulator, and C-Compiler demos. Use the comprehensive documentation and sample source code to quickly develop and simulate your application. You then download your code (using COP8Flash ISP - In System Programming) to the socketed 68pin COP8CDR9 device on the target board for 10MHz realtime execution and pin probing.

Use the optional NiceMon Debug Monitor software to download your application code for basic software debugging from your PC, or for more advanced, non-intrusive debugging you can easily connect one of our economical realtime COP8FLASH Emulators. Top of Page
