Setting up the Evaluation Board
The PC communicates with the Z8 Encore!®Flash Microcontroller Evaluation board
using the serial port of the PC. A Z8 Encore!®Smart Cable converts the RS-232 signals
into the 3.3V bidirectional open-drain signal needed to communicate with the on-chip
debugger of the eZ8.
Always use a grounding strap to prevent damage resulting from electro-
static discharge (ESD).
