E86MON Software
User’s Manual
This document amends the
E86MON Software User’s Manual
, order #21891B, (referred to throughout as the
user’s manual). The information contained in this amendment is based on version 3.4.2 of the E86MON software.
DOWNLOADING FILES
This section updates Chapter 2 of the user’s manual.
Downloading .HEX Files
You can download seven example .HEX files. The files are located in the /OUT subdirectory on the floppy disk
provided in the board kit.
AMDDHRY.HEX
RAM-based DHRYSTONE benchmark
DUALCRT.HEX
RAM-based dual terminal viewer
SECONDS.HEX
RAM-based seconds counter
TESTMON.HEX
RAM-based minimal DOS emulator test
LEDS.HEX
Flash-memory-based demonstration
EDITMON.EXE
DOS-based utility used in Flash memory
FINDER.HEX
Flash memory-based demonstration
The .HEX files built with the older (version 3.2.x) MAKEHEX utility do not download with the version 3.4.x monitor.
The version 3.4.x MAKEHEX files do not execute on a version 3.2.x monitor. Rebuild your .HEX file using the 3.4.x
MAKEHEX utility.
Upgrading the E86MON Software
Files used to upgrade the E86MON software are provided in the \OUT subdirectory on the floppy disk included in
the board kit. The latest version of the E86MON software is also available on the Web at http://www.amd.com/
products/lpd/codekits/downloads.html. Click on CK000901.EXE to download the E86MON software.
Note:
Two builds of the E86MON software are available. One build is for the Am186ER/Am188ER
microcontrollers and one is for the other Am186 and Am188 microcontroller devices.
The traditional version of E86MON software is too large to be contained in the 32K of SRAM on the SD186ER
microcontroller demonstration board, so a separate build was created that does not include support for the other
microcontrollers. The Am186ER/Am188ER microcontroller .HEX file version of the E86MON software uses "E_ER"
as the first four characters of its filename. The other version uses "EMON" as the first four characters of its filename.
