Abstract

This application note describes Flash Loader utility

for the Zilog’s Z8 Encore! XP

operated through the UART0 console. The goal of

this document is to provide a tool for program

On-Chip Flash memory on the Z8 Encore! XP MCU

using the Flash Loader and/or application

software (firmware).

This Flash Loader implementation expects an Intel

hexadecimal file (IHX file) to be created and

uploaded by Zilog Developer Studio II (ZDS II). No

other tools are required to convert output files to

another format. Access all function modules and

integrate a different method to upload IHX files or

read/write bytes to Flash memory.

Z8 Encore! XP

Microcontrollers

Zilog’s Z8 Encore! XP products are based on the new

eZ8™ CPU and introduce Flash memory to Zilog’s

extensive line of 8-bit microcontrollers. Flash

memory in-circuit programming capability allows for

faster development time and program changes in the

field. The high-performance register-to-register

based architecture of the eZ8 core maintains

backward compatibility with Zilog’s popular Z8

MCU.

Z8 Encore! XP MCUs combine a 20 MHz core with

Flash memory, linear-register SRAM, and an

extensive array of On-Chip peripherals. These

peripherals make the Z8 Encore! XP MCU suitable

MCU that can be

security systems, home appliances, personal

electronic devices, and sensors.

General Overview

For all code development and debugging, the Z8F

Debug Port (OCD) is used in conjunction with ZDS

II. However, there might be a situation when some

bytes contained in Flash memory must be read from

or written to user application code when the core is

running. Flash Loader comes to the rescue in such a

situation.

The Flash Loader utility runs in On-Chip Flash to

self-program Flash memory. Flash Loader is

designed to operate (compile, link, and load) in the

ZDS II environment. The Flash Loader application is

loaded via On-Chip Debug port (Target Interface

Module) into Flash memory on the Z8 Encore! XP

MCU Development Board.

Flash Loader physically resides in Flash memory.

Access the functions of Flash Loader using a

standard dumb terminal program (HyperTerminal).

When Flash Loader is first launched, a menu appears

allowing to select from a set of choices. See

on page 5 and

Apart from downloading IHX files into the user

application space within Flash memory, Flash Loader

allows user Reads and Writes to the RAM and Flash

memory locations using the HyperTerminal program.

Loading code via Flash Loader through the ZDS II/

Target Interface Module is necessary only once.

Flash Loader is not ensured to be write-protected;

however, while downloading user application code, it

does ensure that the application code is not overwrite

the memory space occupied by the Flash Loader.
