Introduction
The 56F8346EVM is used to demonstrate the abilities of the 56F8346 and to provide a
hardware tool allowing the development of applications that use the 56F8346.
The 56F8346EVM is an evaluation module board that includes a 56F8346 part, peripheral
expansion connectors, a CAN interface, 512KB of external memory and a pair of daughter
card connectors. The daughter card expansion connectors are for signal monitoring and
user feature expandability.
The 56F8346EVM is designed for the following purposes:
• Allowing new users to become familiar with the features of the 56800E
architecture. The tools and examples provided with the 56F8346EVM facilitate
evaluation of the feature set and the benefits of the family.
• Serving as a platform for real-time software development. The tool suite enables
the user to develop and simulate routines, download the software to on-chip or
on-board RAM, run it, and debug it using a debugger via the JTAG/Enhanced
OnCE (EOnCE) port. The breakpoint features of the EOnCE port enable the user
to easily specify complex break conditions and to execute user-developed software
at full speed until the break conditions are satisfied. The ability to examine and
modify all user-accessible registers, memory and peripherals through the EOnCE
port greatly facilitates the task of the developer.
• Serving as a platform for hardware development. The hardware platform enables
the user to connect external hardware peripherals. The on-board peripherals can be
disabled, providing the user with the ability to reassign any and all of the hybrid
controller's peripherals. The EOnCE port's unobtrusive design means that all
memory on the board and on the chip is available to the user.
