–J3 1-2
–J4 OUT
–J5 1-2
–J6 1-2
–J7 OUT
–J8 1-2
–J9 1-2
–J10 1-2
–J11 OUT

12. Two LEDs on the development board begin blinking in sequence. If the LEDs do not
blink, repeat Step 3.
LED D2/PA0 is shared with the DBG pin. Zilog does not recommend having
the LED connected while connecting to the target or while in debug mode
(J3 should be OUT).
13. Press the TEST push button to change the sequence of the LEDs to blink in the opposite
direction.

You can also use the Z8 Encore! XP F042A Series 8-pin Development Kit
and its sample project to evaluate the development environment for the Z8
Encore! XP F08xA and F0823 Series 8-pin MCUs. The Z8 Encore! XP
Series 8-pin development board may also be used with a ZDSII project that
targets the Z8 Encore! XP F08xA or F0823 8-pin devices. However, the
device’s feature limitations, such as reduced program space, will exist. The
Z8 Encore! XP F042A 8-pin device on the development board may also be
replaced with a Z8 Encore! XP F08xA or F0823 8-pin device for a more
detailed chip evaluation.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you experience trouble running the demo program with the Z8 Encore! XP development
board, check the following before contacting Zilog Technical Support for assistance:
•Verify that you are using ZDSII version 5.0.0 or later.
•Ensure that you are using the unmodified sample project code as described in Getting
Started Using ZDSIIon page 8.
•Verify that you have properly connected the USB Smart Cable to the host PC and the
8-pin development board as described in Setting Up the Development Board on page
3. Ensure that pin 1 of the cable is properly aligned with DBG connector pin 1 of the
development board.
•Apply power to the development board using S2 slide switch. The green 3.3V DC
LED should be ON. If it is not illuminated, verify if power is properly connected to
the board as described in Configuring the 5V DC Universal Power Supply on page 2.
•In ZDSII, verify select the Project Settings Debugger Communication
menu item and verify that the serial number for the USB Smart Cable interface is pres-
ent and selected. If the serial number is missing, reinstall the USB Smart Cable driver 
software.
•In ZDSII, verify that Z8F04A08100KITG is selected as the target.
•In ZDSII, click the Rebuild All button. Verify that the project rebuilds with no
errors.
•Verify that the development board is not currently running any code – no LEDs should
be blinking.
•In ZDSII, click the IDE Reset button. ZDSII will connect to the development
board and download code to it.
Note:

•Open the HyperTerminal application (located in your Windows Accessories program
group) and connect a DB9-to-DB9 cable between your host PC and console port P2 of
the development board. Set the communication settings in HyperTerminal to 57600
baud, 8 bits, no parity and one stop bit. These settings are also noted in the main.c
file.
•Click the Go button. The Red and Yellow LEDs should blink in sequence.
HyperTerminal should display the LED Lights... message.
If the demo code still does not run, contact Zilog Technical Support at support.zilog.com.
