Page: 8 / 9

An evaluation version of the IAR toolset (KickStart Edition) can be installed by clicking on the
Programming Tools button of the MAXQ2000 EV kit's main menu. On the window that appears next,
click on the IAR Embedded Workbench® button to start the IAR installation tool. Follow the instructions
to install the toolset. You can obtain a license from IAR by completing the on-line registration form.
After the IAR KickStart Edition is installed, several updates to the toolset can be installed by selecting the
Programming Tools button from the MAXQ2000 EV kit main menu, and then selecting the IAR Patch
button. This will start an installation program for the patches.
Once the IAR toolset and the patches are installed, you can open the Countdown example application by
clicking File
Open Workspace... and selecting Countdown_Workspace.eww. Under Project
Options and the category Debug-JTAG, you can set the communications port to COM4.
Select Project
Rebuild All to compile and link the application program.
Click the Debug button or select Project Debug to start the debugger. The program can be started
with any of the Step Into, Run To Cursor, or Go buttons. The IAR toolset capabilities can be further
explored from this point.
Conclusion
The MAXQ2000 USB Thumb Evaluation Kit is a proven platform for conveniently evaluating the MAXQ2000
RISC microcontroller. The board is a small "thumb drive" form factor with a USB interface. The EV kit includes
a USB flash-drive memory device containing the MAX-IDE. With MAX-IDE and the kit board the user can
develop and debug applications for the MAXQ2000 RISC microcontroller. Several example programs and an
evaluation copy of the IAR C compiler and tool suite are provided on the USB flash drive.
