No Output on Console Port
The eZ80F92 Development Kit is shipped with a Flash Loader utility that
is loaded in the protected boot sector of Flash memory (U3). Upon power-
up of the eZ80
®
Development Platform and the eZ80F92 Flash MCU
Module, the eZ80F92 device on the module starts running code from this
Flash memory area. This code enables the Console port with settings of
57.6kbps, 8, N, 1.
The Console checks the Receive buffer. If a space character is received on
the Console port, the Flash Loader utility is enabled and a boot message
should be displayed on your connected device. If no message is dis-
played, check the following:
•
Jumper J2 must be ON (IrDA is disabled)
•
On Connector J6, the jumper must be removed from pins 6 and 9 (pin
names con_dis and GND).
