In this class we will discuss: * Intro to Class * Intro to Real-Time Embedded Systems * Z8 project/lab Example h4. Read: * Read a short intro to Z8 development kit: Test Driving The Z8. * Read Embedded-system programmers must learn the fundamentals * Read Simon Chapter 1, Catsoulis Chapter 1 to review today’s class. * Read Simon Chapter 2, Catsoulis Chapter 4 & 5 before the next class. * Read the Z8 databook "Introduction" h4. Homework: * Visit the zilog website (http://www.zilog.com). Find the Z8 Encore! files (not the Z8 Encore XP and not the Z8 Encore MC). Review the long list of documentation. The development kits have the Z8F6403. * Bookmark these pages: ** http://www.zilog.com/products/partdetails.asp?id=Z8F6403 ** http://www.zilog.com/products/partdetails.asp?id=Z8F6423 * Download ZiLOG Developer Studio II (ZDS II) for the Z8 encore from here: http://www.zilog.com/software/zds2.asp and get the documentation while you are there. Install both and browse the IDE and documentation. Remember that the developers kit we are using has the Z8F6403 part which is obsolete and has been replaced with the Z8F6423. You can use most of the application notes for te Z8F6423 on the Z8F6403 with minor modifications. If you can’t find the datasheet for the Z8F6403 on the Zilog website (since its an obsolete part), look here. h4. Project: Start thinking about what you want to do for you final project.
