This sequence of pressing and releasing the Reset (S2) and Boot (S1)
button renders the phyCORE-P87C591 into the Flash programming
mode (FPM). Use of FlashTools98 always requires the
phyCORE-P87C591 to be in FPM. See section 2.4,“Downloading
Example Code with FlashTools” for more details.
The phyCORE module should now be properly connected via the
phyCORE Development Board LD 5V to a host-PC and power
supply. After executing a Reset and rendering the board in Flash
programming mode, you are now ready to program the
phyCORE-P87C591. This phyCORE module/phyCORE Development
Board LD 5V combination is also referred to as “target hardware”.
2.3 Starting PHYTEC FlashTools98 for Windows
FlashTools98 should have been installed during the initial setup
procedure as described in section 2.1. If not, you can manually install
it using the setup.exe file located in the \Software\Flasht98\ folder of
your PHYTEC Spectrum CD.
FlashTools98 for Windows is a utility program that allows download
of user code in Intel *.hex file format from a host-PC to a PHYTEC
SBC via an RS-232 connection.
FlashTools98 consists of firmware resident in the external Flash and
corresponding software installed on the host-PC. Proper connection of
a PHYTEC SBC to a host-PC enables the software portion of
FlashTools98 to recognize and communicate to the firmware portion.
