Overview
This document describes the features of the Z8 Encore! XP F3224 Series Development Kit
(Z8F32240100ZCOG) and provides instructions to setup the hardware and to install the software drivers
and development tools needed to start building applications.
The development board features the Z8F3224 MCU with 32KB internal Flash in a 44-pin QFN package
operating at 20MHz. Z8F3224 serial peripheral devices (SPI, I2C, UART) can be used to interface with
the 64Mb serial Flash (SPI) and optical sensor (I2C) available on the development board, or external
devices (header pins). Refer to the Z8 Encore! XP® F3224 Series Product Specification (PS0381)
available for download at www.zilog.com for information on these and other F3224 peripheral
devices.
Subsequent sections of this document guide you through the following tasks:
•Download and Install the ZDS II Software and Documentation –see page 4
−Installing the Encore! Smart Cable Driver –see Appendix B. Installing the Encore! Smart
Cable Driver on page 16
•Connect F3224 Series Dev Board to PC –see page 5
•Start Z8F3224 Demonstration Program –see page 7
Further details, including memory configurations, jumper settings, and a listing of sample projects can be
found in the Z8F3224 Sample Projects section on page 12.

Connect F3224 Series Dev Board to PC
Observe the following procedure to connect the F3224 Series Development Board to your PC.
Caution: The USB Smart Cable can be configured to supply power to the F3224 Series Development Board,
or an external power source may be used to power the board. When external power is used, be
sure to disconnect or turn off the external power source before connecting or disconnecting the
Encore! Smart Cable from the development board.
1. Connect one end of the ribbon cable to the Encore! Smart Cable ensuring the ridge on the
ribbon cable’s female connector is aligned with the notch in the shrouded male connector on
the Smart Cable as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Connecting the 6-Circuit Ribbon Cable to the Encore! SmartCable
2. Connect the other end of the ribbon cable to Debug Connector J5 on the Development Board.
Ensure that Pin 1 on the ribbon cable (red stripe) is aligned with Pin 1 on the target connector
(square pad), as highlighted in Figure 3.

Start Z8F3224 Demonstration Program
The F3224 Series Development Kit includes a sample program that demonstrates a blinking LED
application with a UART console. An optional terminal emulation program and a 3rd Party USB to TTL
Serial converter (not supplied) maybe used to display the messages and send characters to the
application. In this instance, the terminal program must be configured for 57600-8-N-1 with no flow
control, as described in the Terminal Emulation Configuration section on page 10. To get started with the
Z8F3224 demonstration, observe the following procedure.
1. Launch ZDS II by navigating from the Windows Start menu to Programs → Zilog ZDS II –Z8
Encore! <version> → ZDS II –Z8 Encore! <version>.
2. From the File menu in ZDS II, select Open Project and navigate to the following folder:
<ZDS Install>\samples\XP_F3224\XP_F3224_LedBlink_C
3. Select the ledblink.zdsproj project from within the XP_F3224_LedBlink_C folder and click
Open.
4. From the Build menu, select Set Active Configuration to open the Select Configuration dialog
box.
5. Select Debug, then click OK to close the Select Configuration dialog box.
6. From the Project menu in ZDS II, select Settings to open the Project Settings dialog box. In the
Project Settings dialog box, click the Debugger tab.
7. On the Debugger page, select Z8F32240100ZCOG from the Target list, then select
EncoreSmartCable from the Debug Tool drop-down menu, as shown in Figure 4.

2. Connect the other end to your PC.
3. In TeraTerm, choose Setup >Serial Port then, if your PC has a serial interface, select the COM
port assigned to your serial port. If you do not have a serial port on your PC, use a USB-to-serial
adapter (not included in the kit).
4. From the Windows Control Panel, navigate via the Device Manager to Ports (COM & LPT) to
determine the correct COM port assigned to your adapter. Configure this port to reflect the following
settings:
–57600 bps
–8 data bits
–No parity
–1 stop bit
–No flow control
5. In TeraTerm, click the New Setting button to connect to the F3224 Series Development Board.
