Introduction
The 56F8323EVM is used to demonstrate the abilities of the 56F8323 and to provide a
hardware tool allowing the development of applications that use the 56F8323.
The 56F8323EVM is an evaluation module board that includes an 56F8323 part,
peripheral expansion connectors, a CAN interface, an RS-232 interface, a JTAG-to-PC
Printer port interface and a pair of daughter card connectors. The peripheral expansion
connectors and daughter card expansion connectors are for signal monitoring and allow
expansion for user features.
The 56F8323EVM 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 56F8323EVM 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 SRAM
or Flash, 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 DSP's
peripherals. The EOnCE port's unobtrusive design means that all memory on the
Processor is available to the user.
