SBC-2000 Series boards
from AMS uses Motorola microprocessors. They all include monitor
EPROM, RAM, serial interface to IBM compatible PC and expansion bus
connector.
The monitor EPROM
serves two important functions: It allows to communicate with the CPU
via a serial interface, and it also works as a boot EPROM, which
brings the microprocessor up to a predetermined stage after the
power-on sequence.
The 32k bytes of RAM
on the main board are used to store the user’s program and data
variables. The main board also has a serial interface to IBM
compatible personal computers. This serial interface allows the user
to download commands and programs to main board RAM.
The expansion bus connector
on the main board is very important, because it allows the to connect
to external hardeware. All Microprocessor signals are available on the
expansion connector.
Software
The most important item for any
development is the software. The SBC-2000 MICRO manager software is
compatible with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP and is designed to be very
easy to use. The pull-down menus, dialog box interface and on-line
context-sensitive help are the features that make it easy-to-use
software. The user can create/edit source code, assemble ,compile and
download the file from manager software.
