The serial line from the PC should be connected to the terminal port on the EVB (the RS-232 connector furthest away from the red reset button.) To communicate with the EVB, run the terminal emulation program residing at: C:\WINNT35\system32\TERMINAL.EXE . You will need to configure the baud rate to be 9600 (under the Settings->Communications panel). Flow control should be set to "None" on this panel. Then enter the Settings->Text Transfers panel and set the Flow Control radio button to "Line at a Time". The "Delay Between Lines" value should be set to "1/10" of a second.
Now plug in the power supply, and press the red reset button on the EVB. A prompt should be sent to the terminal program and displayed on the PC's screen. It should read:
BUFFALO 2.5 (ext) - Bit User Fast Friendly Aid to Logical OperationPressing return twice should list a bunch on commands that the EVB and BUFFALO can be asked to perform.
ORG $C000 LDAA #$01 STAA $1004Type this program in using "notepad" and run the assembler that is located at "T:\cse477\buffalo\as11.exe". Run the assembler using the file manager's RUN command and the assembly program's name as its only argument. To load the assembled file to the EVB, you need to perform a text Transfer using the terminal emulator. First type
LOAD Tat the BUFFALO prompt and then pull down the Transfers->Send Text File panel. Select the file generated by the assembler (it has the extension .S19) and click the OK button. Your program should now be loaded into the EVB. Press the red reset button to restart BUFFALO. (I don't know why you need to do this.)
To actually run these two instructions, first set a breakpoint after the last instruction (use the BUFFALO "BR C005" command) and then enter "G C000". You be able to observe that PB0 is set to 1. (The other bits of port B have been cleared.)
