Development Platform Overview
The purpose of the eZ80
®
Development Platform is to provide the devel-
oper with a set of tools for evaluating the features of the eZ80
®
family of
devices, and to be able to develop a new application before building appli-
cation hardware.
The eZ80F92 Development Kit features two primary boards: the eZ80
®
Development Platform and the eZ80F92 Flash Module. This arrangement
provides a full development platform when using both boards. It can also
provide a smaller-sized reference platform with the eZ80F92 Flash Mod-
ule as a stand-alone development tool.
The eZ80
®
Development Platform is designed to accept a number of
application-specific modules and Z8- and eZ80
®
-based add-on modules,
including the eZ80F92 Flash Module, which features a real-time clock, an
IrDA transceiver, and the eZ80F92 microcontroller.
The eZ80
®
Development Platform, together with its plugged-in eZ80F92
Flash Module, can operate in stand-alone mode with Flash memory, or
interface via the ZPAKII emulator to a host PC running ZiLOG Devel-
oper Studio II Integrated Development Environment (ZDS IDE) software.
The address bus, data bus, and all eZ80F92 Flash Module control signals
are buffered on the eZ80
®
Development Platform to provide sufficient
drive capability.
