The top 16KB ACTF boot strip is protected.
Two utility HEX files, “l_debug.HEX” and “L_29F40R.HEX”, are designed for downloading into SRAM
starting at 0x04000 with ACTF-PC-HyperTerminal. Use the “D” command to download, and use the “G”
command to run.
“L_DEBUG.HEX” will erase the 8KB sector and load a “re40_115.HEX” or “re80_115.HEX”.
“L_29F40R.HEX” will erase the remaining sectors for downloading your application HEX file.

For production, the user must produce an ACTF-downloadable HEX file for the application, based on the
DV Kit. The application HEX file can be loaded into the on-board Flash starting address at 0x80000.
The on-board EE must be modified with a “G80000” command while in the ACTF-PC-HyperTerminal
Environment.
The “STEP2” jumper (J2 pins 38-40) must be installed for every production-version board.
Step 1 settings
In order to correctly download a program in STEP1 with Paradigm C/C++, the RD must meet these
requirements:
1) re40_115.hex must be pre-loaded into Flash starting address 0xfa000.
2) The SRAM installed must be large enough to hold your program.
For a 128K SRAM, the physical address is 0x00000-0x01ffff
