Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the ZiLOG ZGP32300200ZPR Z8 GP™ ZGP323 Programming
System with USB interface (Figure 1). The Z8 GP™ ZGP323 Programming System pro-
vides an inexpensive development environment for ZiLOG’s Z8 GP family of microcon-
trollers. Two windowed 28-CDIP (Ceramic DIP) chips are included for use in prototyping.
The windowed CDIP chips are provided for your convenience and are eraseable with
ultraviolet light.
This User Manual tells you how to connect programming system components to your PC,
and a target board, install the ZDSII integrated development environment, and use ZDSII
to burn demonstration code into a Z8 GP family OTP microcontroller.

Programming System Components
The Z8 GP ZGP323 Programming System circuit board contains three LED indicators:
•Yellow LED D1: Flashes as data is received over the USB connection from the PC.
•Red LED D3: Illuminates during OTP programming or reading.
•Green LED D5: Illuminates when 5VDC is applied to the programmer.
The following components are for factory use only:
•Jumper JP1, which must be IN.
•Jumpers JP2 through JP7.
•Connector P1 (ZDI).
•Header J1 (ISP).
•Test points TP1 and TP2.
The remaining components are not user-serviceable.
Using ZDS II to Burn a Hex File into a ZGP323 OTP Chip
After installing the ZDS II software and setting up the hardware, use the following proce-
dure to open the sample project named ledblink_c.pro, build a hex file from the pro-
gram, and burn that hex file into the supplied ZGP323 28-CDIP chip via the OTP
programming module.
If you are familiar with using ZDS II to create hex files and have previously
used the Z8 GP ZGP323 programming system, refer to “Hex File Burning
Instructions for Experienced ZDS II Users” on page 9
The sample project ledblink_c.pro is included in the ZDS II sample directory, located
in:
c:\Program Files\ZiLOG\ZDSII_<product>_<version>
\samples\<processor type>_<demo name>
\<demo name>_<language>\src
1. Start ZDS II for the Z8 GP ZGP323 programming system.
2. Open the sample project file: File –> Open Project –>
c:\Program Files\ZDSII_Z8GP_<version>
\samples\ZGP323_ledBlink\ledblink_c\src\ledblink_c.pro.
3. In ZDSII, open the Build menu and select Set Active Configuration.

4. In the Select Configuration dialog, select Debug and click OK.
5. Open Project –> Settings.
6. In the General tab, verify the CPU Family field is set to ZGP323.
7. In the General tab, set the CPU field to ZGP323XXX2832_Window.
8. Set the Output Files Directory: to the directory in which you want your output files
stored. By default, ZDSII stores your files in the same directory as the project files.
9. In the Debugger tab, make sure the Driver: field is set to Simulator.
10. Click OK.
11. When asked to rebuild affected files, click Yes to rebuild the project. (You can also re-
build later by pressing F7.)
The Build Output Window at the bottom of ZDSII provides status messages about the
rebuild’s progress.
12. To debug the program using the simulator, open the Build menu and select Debug and
then Reset to load the simulator with the program code. The simulator is used to com-
pletely debug the program before downloading to the chip. Select Build > Debugger >
Stop Debugging when you have finished debugging.
13. Now that the program is complete, we’re going to create a hex file you can download
into a ZGP323 chip installed on the Programing System.
14. In ZDSII, open the Build menu and select Set Active Configuration.
15. In the Select Configuration dialog, select Release and click OK.
16. Rebuild the project. Open the Build menu and select Rebuild All.
17. Browse to the c:\Program Files\ZDSII_Z8GP_<version>
\samples\ZGP323_ledBlink\ledblink_c\src directory. There you will find
the file ledblink_c.hex, the hex file just created when you rebuilt the project in Re-
lease configuration.
18. Connect the Z8 GP ZGP323 programming system to your development PC as de-
scribed in “Installing the USB Interface Driver and Cable” on page 3.
19. Open Project > Settings.
The Project Settings window appears.

pin 1 of the package converter with pin 1 of the ZIF socket. Pin numbers are silk-
screened on the board.
24. Install the OTP chip you wish to burn into the package converter installed on the Pro-
gramming System’s ZIF socket. Match pin 1 of the chip (indicated by a notch on the
chip) with pin 1 of the package converter’s ZIF socket.
25. Stop any current debugging process by selecting Build > Debug > Stop Debugging.
26. Select Tools > OTP Programming to open the OTP window (Figure 3).

27. If the appropriate target device is not selected, set it now in the Device drop-down
menu. For the windowed ZGP323 part shipped with the programming system, select
ZGP323XXX2832_Window.
28. In the Hex File: section, click the button and select the hex file you wish to burn
into the OTP chip.
29. If you do not want to pad the hex file, select the None button in the Pad File With area.
Otherwise, select the FF, 00, or Other button. If you select the Other button, type the
hex value to pad the hex file with in the Other field.
30. Click the Load File button to load the hex file.
31. Click the Ram Checksum button to calculate the checksum of the data in programmer
RAM. Use this to compare with the OTP checksum after burning.
32. Select which option bits to program in the Programming Option Bits area. For this demo
example, no option bits need to be added.
33. If you do not want a serial number loaded into the part, select the None button in the
Method area. For this demo example, select None. To load a serial number:
a. Select the Sequential or Pseudorandom button to determine how the serial number
is incremented on subsequent burns.
b. Select the size of the serial number (1, 2, 3, or 4 bytes) in the Serial Number Size
area.
c. Enter the starting serial number in the Serial Number field.
d. Enter the address into which you want the serial number loaded in the Address
field. Consult the project’s MAP file to determine an unused memory location.
34. Click Blank Check to verify that the OTP chip is actually blank.
35. Click the Burn button to program the OTP chip with the contents of programmer RAM.
As part of the Burn function, the OTP chip is also verified.
36. When the burn is complete, click OTP Checksum to calculate the checksum of data on
the OTP chip and compare it to the RAM checksum calculated earlier.
37. Click Close to close the OTP Programming window. You now have a chip that is ready
to be used on a target board.
