QUICKSTART DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM
The QuickStart Development System is a full featured, low cost
development tool suite supporting the ADuC824. The system
consists of the following PC-based (Windows-compatible) hard-
ware and software development tools.
Hardware: ADuC824 Evaluation Board, Plug-In
Power Supply and Serial Port Cable
Code Development: 8051 Assembler C Compiler
(2 Kcode Limited)
Code Functionality: ADSIM, Windows MicroConverter
Code Simulator
In-Circuit Code Download: Serial Downloader
In-Circuit Debugger: Serial Port Debugger
Miscellaneous Other: CD-ROM Documentation and Two
Additional Prototype Devices
Figures 54 shows the typical components of a QuickStart Devel-
opment System while Figure 55 shows a typical debug session.
A brief description of some of the software tools’ components in
the QuickStart Development System is given below.

System
Download—In-Circuit Serial Downloader
The Serial Downloader is a software program that allows the user
to serially download an assembled program (Intel Hex format file)
to the on-chip program FLASH memory via the serial COM1
port on a standard PC. An Application Note (uC004) detailing
this serial download protocol is available from www.analog.com/
microconverter.
DeBug—In-Circuit Debugger
The Debugger is a Windows application that allows the user to
debug code execution on silicon using the MicroConverter UART
serial port. The debugger provides access to all on-chip periph-
erals during a typical debug session as well as single-step and
break-point code execution control.
ADSIM—Windows Simulator
The Simulator is a Windows application that fully simulates all
the MicroConverter functionality including ADC and DAC
peripherals. The simulator provides an easy-to-use, intuitive, inter-
face to the MicroConverter functionality and integrates many
standard debug features; including multiple breakpoints, single
stepping; and code execution trace capability. This tool can be
used both as a tutorial guide to the part as well as an efficient way
to prove code functionality before moving to a hardware platform.
The QuickStart development tool-suite software is freely
available at the Analog Devices MicroConverter Website
