Theory

Refer to lecture note Chapter 6 titled “I/O Interfacing for Microprocessor”

You can execute the experiment boards in BGC-8088 MICROENGINEER V3.4 by connecting from 50
pins PCI connector with a 50 pins IDC flat cable. The Pin’s definition of 25*2 (50 pins) connector of
experiment boards is shown in Figure 4.1

Figure 4.1

Procedure

1. The related circuit is shown in Figure 4.2.

2. Type the following program (Program 4.1) using notepad or other text editor.
3. Save the file as “run.asm”.
4. Go to DOS mode.
5. Run the program “MASM”, to create the “run.lst”, “run.obj” and “run.exe”.
a. Go to the directory where you have saved the file “run.asm”.
b. Type c:\masm\irvine\masm.
c. Follow steps 10 to 13 in Experiment 2 to obtain the file “run.exe”.
6. Exit from the Irvine-MASM IDE.
7. Make sure you are in the directory where your files “run.asm” and “run.exe” reside.
8. To create a binary file type:
C:\8806\exe2bin run.exe run.bin

9. A file called run.bin will be created. To download the binary file to the target board, follow
the following steps:
i. Make sure the BGC-8088 power is switched off.
ii. Connect the BGC-8088 board to COM1 of the PC using RS232 cable.
iii. Connect the 50 pins IDC flat-cable to EDS 8806 basic I/O experiment board.
iv. Switch BGC8088 power on and press ‘L’.
