2.5.2 EEPROM

Testing the EEPROM provided on the Demo Board is straightforward and can be done using the serial
command line interface (CLI) of the Demo Code.

To write a string of text characters to the EEPROM and read it back, we apply the following sequence of CLI
commands:

>EEC1

Enables the EEPROM

>EESthis is a test

Writes text to the buffer

>EET80

Writes buffer to address 80

Written to EEPROM address 00000080 74 68 69 73 20 69 73 20 61 ….

Response from Demo Code

>EER80.E

Reads text from the buffer

Read from EEPROM address 00000080 74 68 69 73 20 69 73 20 61 ….

Response from Demo Code

>EEC0

Disables the EEPROM

2.5.3 RTC

Testing the RTC inside the 71M6533 IC is straightforward and can be done using the serial command line
interface (CLI) of the Demo Code.

To set the RTC and check the time and date, we apply the following sequence of CLI commands:

>M10

LCD display to show calendar date

>RTD05.09.27.3

Sets the date to 9/27/2005 (Tuesday)

>M9

LCD display to show time of day

>RTT10.45.00

Sets the time to 10:45:00. AM/PM distinction: 1:22:33PM = 13:22:33
