Axiom CMS-8GP32 Development Board Notes

By Matt Veenstra, Dordt College

To install and use the pony monitor on Axiom Manufacturing CMS-8GP32 development board:

1. Load pony.s19 into flash per hardware settings of the tutorial in CMS-8GP32 user manual. I programmed the MCU using the P&E PROG08SZ flash programmer with the pony.s19 file found in the P&E folder of the pony monitor software.
2. Remove board power.
3. Ensure JP1 and JP2 installed (enables SCI TxD and RxD).
4. Install JP3 to position 2-3 (sets external oscillator to 32.768 kHz).
5. Set mode switches 1-8 to OFF (disables Mon08 comm, Reset vector not blank operation, and Override clock selection).
6. Ensure RS-232 cable connected to COM port on development board and PC serial port.
7. For a Windows box open a terminal program such as "Tera Term" and set the following:
   • Baud: 115200
   • data: 8 bit
   • parity: none
   • stop: 1 bit
   • flow control: none
   • transmit delay: 0 msec/char, 3 msec/line.
8. Reapply power to board (should reset on power up).
9. If successful the monitor will transmit the following to the terminal window:
   "Pony HC08 Monitor V1.5, (c) L3 Systems, Inc., 2000"
   "Pony> "
   
10. The external reset button may be used to restart the monitor.
