COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What software development tools are available?
Ziatech supports two software development tools for the
ZT 8832: STD ROM and DOS Multiprocessing Extension
(DOS MPX).
The STD ROM software includes a PROM based debugger and
a PC based floppy disk. The ZT 8832 is connected to a PC
through a serial link. Programs are developed on the PC and
transferred across the serial link to the ZT 8832 for debugging.
DOS MPX provides software support for one or more ZT 8832s
in an STD bus application running under Ziatech DOS. The
DOS MPX package includes a boot ROM for the ZT 8832, an
installable device driver for the STD bus CPU, and a utility for
downloading programs to the ZT 8832. Also included is a
Virtual Processor Console (VPC) utility to multiplex several
ZT 8832s and the STD bus CPU on a single console.
