GETTING STARTED

The Axiom CMD11E1 single board computer is a fully assembled, fully functional development
system for the Motorola 68HC11E1 microcontroller, complete with wall plug power supply and
serial cable. Support software for this development board is provided for Windows 95 and NT
operating systems.

Follow the steps in this section to get started quickly and verify everything is working correctly.

Installing the Software

1. Insert the Axiom 68HC11 support CD in your PC. If the setup program does not start, run the

file called "SETUP.EXE" on the CD.

2. Follow the instructions on screen to install the AxIDE software onto your hard drive.

3. After installation completes, double-click the AxIDE icon to start the utility program.

4. Select the PC serial port you're using to connect to the board. Click [OK].

5. Select your development board "CMD11E1" from the drop-down menu bar just below the main

menu.

Board Startup

Follow these steps to connect and power on the board. This assumes you're using the provided
AxIDE terminal (installed in the previous section) or a similar communications terminal program on
your PC, and that all jumpers are in their default (from the manufacturer) positions. If you're using
a different terminal program than the one provided, set it's parameters to 9600 baud, N,8,1.

1. Connect one end of the supplied 9-pin serial cable to a free COM port on your PC. Connect

the other end of the cable to the COM1 port on the CMD11E1 board.

2. Apply power to the board by plugging in the wall plug power adapter that came with the

system.

3. If everything is working properly, you should see a Buffalo Monitor prompt similar to that below

in the Terminal window. Press the ENTER key and you should see a prompt which is the >
character.
