Software Installation
Please refer to the Technical manual for the “C/C++ Development Kit and Evaluation Kit for TERN
Embedded Microcontrollers” for information on installing software.
The README.TXT file on the TERN EV-P/DV-P disk contains important information about the
installation and evaluation of TERN controllers.

Hardware Installation
Overview

Connect Debug-serial cable:
For debugging (STEP 1), place IDE connector on SER0 (H2) with
red edge of cable at pin 1
Connect wall transformer:
Connect 9V wall transformer to power and plug into power jack
adapter, which installs into green screw terminal
Hardware installation for the R-Engine-D consists primarily of connecting the microcontroller to your PC
and to power. The green screw terminal, T1, is used to supply unreg12V DC to the R-Engine-D,
while the 5x2 pin header, H2, is used to connect the debug serial port to your PC.
2.2.1
Connecting the R-Engine-D to power and PC
Install the power jack adapter into the T1 screw terminal. You may use an ohm meter to confirm which pin
is ground and which pin is +12V. The diagram below also illustrates the correct orientation. Plug the
output of the wall transformer into the power jack adapter. The RD will now power on. With the step 2
jumper removed, the RD will send the ACTF menu out on SER0, or H2. With the step 2 jumper installed,
the RD will fetch the CS:IP stored in the non-volatile EEPROM and jump to that CS:IP for immediate
execution. Refer to Chapter One of this manual for a synopsis on programming the RD.
Next, install the serial debug cable. The DB9 installs on an available COM port on your PC. The Paradigm
C/C++ IDE uses COM0 by default, which can be changed during the install process, or manually after
install. The 1- pin IDE connector installs on the H2 pin header on the RD. This header is the debug serial
port. Note that the red edge of the cable must align with pin 1 of the H2 header. See the below diagram to
help with correct orientation.
