S1C33 Family
4) Evaluation of development tools at start of development
Since the S1C33 Family has a wide range of hardware tools available, you may have difficulty choosing the
appropriate product for your needs. For help, please refer to "S1C33 Tool Selection Guide", provided in this
collection of data sheets, when choosing the desired tool.
Also, we recommend installing the evaluation versions of development tools from the S1C33 Family data CD
to your computer following instructions from Chapter 2, "Installation", in the S1C33 Family C Compiler Pack-
age Manual, and run them according to Section 3.2, "Tutorial". This will help you get accustomed to the series
of operations needed for a range of tools from the C compiler to the debugger. The debugger's simulator
facility allows you to perform a series of processing functions—compiling, assembling, linking, and debug-
ging—without using the ICE or target board.
Furthermore, looking over the S1C33 Family Application Note will prove helpful.
5) Middleware evaluation
The S1C33 middleware made by Seiko Epson has a demonstration version that can be run on the demon-
stration board for evaluation purposes. Install the demonstration software from the S1C33 Family data CD to
your computer by executing the file. Prepare the necessary demonstration board or equivalent, and down-
load the demonstration software to the demonstration board, following the instructions in the readme file.
Note that the evaluation version of middleware is included in the data CD, although it cannot be used in actual
development.
When using middleware, please also refer to "List of Hardware Resources used by Middleware" in this collec-
tion of data sheets. Although you need to read the respective manuals to obtain details on middleware, this
list helps you get outline information on hardware resources used by each middleware. Resource assign-
ments are important items to consider when designing your application board.
