Getting Started
BOARD CONFIGURATIONS
The ZT 8825 incorporates several jumpers that can be set to select
different board configurations. The default configuration includes 20-
bit memory addressing, 16-bit I/O port addressing, 0 wait states on all
memory accesses, no battery backup, high IOEXP for access to
registers, and is configured for 128K SRAM chips in both rows. If the
default configuration (shown in Figure 2-1 on page 2-8 ) meets your
needs, you do not need to change any jumpers.
An example
configuration that substitutes 24-bit addressing but is otherwise set for
the default options appears in Figure 2-2 on page 2-9.
Each configurable option is covered in detail in Chapter 5,
"Configurable Options," to assist you to correctly set your board for
non-default operation.
Appendix A,
"Jumper Configurations,"
outlines the function of each jumper.
Note: Even if you have purchased RAMs, EPROMs, a battery, or
other memory devices from Ziatech, your ZT 8825 will still have the
default jumper settings and must be reconfigured as appropriate for
the type and speed of the memory chips you install.
We recommend that you document your configuration on the blank
layout provided in Appendix A on page A-6. This will allow you to
easily restore the configuration if it is changed for any reason.
