on the board hardware, and the RF Sniffer User’s Manual for more information on RF Sniffer usage and
features.
4.4. RF Sniffer Interface (RFSI)
The RF Sniffer interface is an RTA-FoUSB-MON unit that comes pre-programmed with firmware to allow
the RF Sniffer software running on the Host PC to take control of the RF Sniffer board. The RFSI
connects to the PC’s USB port via the included mini USB cable, and to the RF Sniffer board via the
included 2×5-header ribbon cable. The USB port also provides power to the RF Sniffer board and RFSI,
thereby eliminating the need for an external power supply.
4.5. RF Sniffer Software and USB Driver
The installer program offers you the option to install the ZDK demo software tools and the RF Sniffer
software. For details on installation, see the QuickStart Guide or instructions in the Appendix A of this
manual.
4.6. In-Circuit Debugger and Programmer (ICD)
The ICD provides a plug-and-play debugging and programming interface to the ZDK board via the host
computer’s Universal Serial Bus (USB). The USB port also provides power to the ZDK boards and ICD,
thereby eliminating the need for an external power supply. Use of the ICD is required only if you need to
update the firmware of the kit’s boards, or if you intend to develop and debug your own software. If not
powered by the ICD, the kit’s ZDK boards can be powered by the included battery packs.
4.7. Software Development Tools
The installer program offers you the option to install all the development tools. For details on installation,
see the QuickStart Guide or instructions in Appendix A of this manual. A brief description of all the
included tools follows. Please refer to the individual tool manuals for detailed information.
4.7.1. HEW (High-performance Embedded Workshop)
HEW provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that integrates the software development tools and
includes the C-compiler, assembler, linker, debugger and editor.
4.7.2. NC30WA Evaluation Version C Compiler
The evaluation version of the M3T-NC30WA C-compiler is provided with the same functionality as the
commercial version except that link size will be restricted to 64 Kbytes after 60 days from when you
begin using the compiler. Contact your local sales representative if you wish to purchase a full license.
4.7.3. HEW Debug Interface
HEW communicates with a kernel (i.e. a ROM monitor program) on the target MCU through the ICD.
This debug interface provides a highly efficient evaluation environment. Features include:
• Source-level debugging for assembly and C language
• Single-step command (unlimited breakpoints)
• Run command with 6 breakpoints* for the M16C/28
• RAM monitor function
• C variable “watch” window
