Freescale Semiconductor
Hardware Getting Started Guide

© 2010 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

This document describes the MSC8156EVM and its related 
hardware kit. The MSC8156EVM getting started procedure 
explains and verifies the board’s basic operation in a 
step-by-step format. Settings for switches, jumpers, LEDs, 
and push buttons are shown. There are also instructions for 
connecting the EVM to your development/debug platform 
with CodeWarrior IDE installed. 

The MSC8156EVM functions with an integrated 
development environment (IDE), such as Freescale 
CodeWarrior IDE. Instructions for working with the IDE are 
beyond the scope of this document.
