The Starterkit_8 is a low-cost, stand-alone application board that makes it easy to evaluate and demonstrate almost all features of FUJITSU's MB89620, MB89630 and MB89850 micro controller series.
Along with the supplied Windows-based development tools, it can be used as a system for user program developments.
The board can be configured to use a MB89T625, MB89T637 and MB89T855 controller by simply exchanging the chip.
By default, the board is equipped with an MB89T637.
Monitor software and some on-board peripherals (used to realise an RS232 interface to a PC terminal program), support program downloads and provide sophisticated debug functions such as breakpoint settings, memory dumps, symbol handling and single step execution.
A unique feature of this board is a "bank switching mechanism", which allows the Monitor- EPROM to be disabled and to map a User RAM into the same address range.
Thus, the user can develop and test program code within the same address range as the final user program which would reside in a PROM or mask ROM.
Each memory bank can be activated by a separate Reset button, allowing restart of either the Monitor or the User Program, beginning from a real hardware reset.
(Note: The Monitor is able to switch the banks automatically by software in order to perform special debug functions.)
