The ESCC2 datacom user board (EASY532) provides a hardware and software
development tool for datacom applications using the PC as an interface to the user. The
EASY532 consists of the Enhanced Serial Communication Controller (ESCC2), a
microprocessor system based on the 16-bit SAB 80186, 256-Kbyte RAM, 64-Kbyte
EPROM and a 2-Kbyte dual-port RAM. The board has a wiring area for small
applications or special adapters can be added to connect the EASY532 with a target
application outside the PC.
The EASY532 assists an engineer in developing a datacom application and greatly
reduces the time spent for hardware and software development. This development kit
comes with all the software drivers, board schematics and support documentation that
is needed to complete either a synchronous or asynchronous datacom project. Menu
driven software allows the designer to access all registers on the board and to test
applications.
The EASY532 development system can serve as a reference design with schematics
and software drivers. This tested application demonstrates how to build a specific
datacom interface. Siemens provides these tools in a effort to shorten the customer’s
design cycle while assisting them to build high-quality products.

EASY532 Features
An open hardware design that includes extensive documentation.
Application software can be tested in advance of (or concurrent with) hardware
development.
Provided C source code drivers can be modified to fit the user’s application needs.
Time to market and design costs are reduced.
Asynchronous, synchronous or bisync applications can be designed with the same
development board.
A user-friendly PC based interface with pull-down menus and multiple screens.
Board installation is quick and easy.
The EASY532 may be used as a reference hardware and software design that
includes tested schematics.
