eZ80Acclaim!
®
Development Platform Overview
The purpose of the eZ80Acclaim! ® Development Platform is to provide
the developer with a set of tools for evaluating the features of the
eZ80Acclaim!
® family of devices, and to be able to develop a new appli-
cation before building application hardware.
The eZ80F92 Development Kit features two primary boards: the
eZ80Acclaim!
® Development Platform and the eZ80F92 Flash Module.
This arrangement provides a full development platform when using both
boards. It can also provide a smaller-sized reference platform with the
eZ80F92 Flash Module as a stand-alone development tool.
The eZ80Acclaim! ® Development Platform is designed to accept a num-
ber of application-specific modules and Z8- and eZ80Acclaim! ® -based
add-on modules, including the eZ80F92 Flash Module, which features a
real-time clock, an IrDA transceiver, and the eZ80F92 microcontroller.
The eZ80Acclaim! ® Development Platform, together with its plugged-in
eZ80F92 Flash Module, can operate in stand-alone mode with Flash
memory, or interface via the ZPAK II emulator to a host PC running
ZiLOG Developer Studio II Integrated Development Environment (ZDS
IDE) software.
The address bus, data bus, and all eZ80F92 Flash Module control signals
are buffered on the eZ80Acclaim!
® Development Platform to provide suf-
ficient drive capability.
