Getting Started
2.3 Quick Start
Once the MSC1211EVM has been unpacked from its shipping container, and
you have verified that the board is configured as shown in Table 2–1, it can be
powered on and tested.
First, connect the board to the host PC using the supplied 9-pin serial cable. Then,
power the board on by plugging the wall power adapter into a suitable ac power
source and plugging the barrel plug into the barrel jack (J6) on the MSC1211EVM.
(You do not have to connect the serial cable first; it is also acceptable to apply
power to the board first.) When the board is properly powered on, the two green
power-good indicator lamps near the power connectors will glow brightly.
Place the CD-ROM into your CD–ROM drive. Table 2–2 shows the directories
located on the CD-ROM.

Now, install two pieces of software on your PC: RIDE and the Download Tool.
If you are running a Windows platform that is NT-based, such as Windows NT
or Windows 2000, you will need administrator privileges to install the software.
Follow the instructions that the installers give you.
Once the programs has been successfully installed, you can execute them.
When the RIDE development system is run, it displays a splash screen, and
then you will see something like the screen in Figure 2–1.
