Introduction
SX-DEV development system offers friendly an easy to use complete development
environment for Scenix microcontrollers.
he SX-DEV development system supports all currently available SX microcontrollers from Scenix
Semiconductor, include SX18/20/28A& and SX48/52BD. It uses the SX chip·s built-in debugging
capabilities to provide a low-cost and efficient real-time emulation solution. It supports real-time
debugging for all SX chips at any user-defined speed up to 100 MHz. It allows users to run the target
application in real time, step-by-step or in animate mode, debug source codes and program a target SX device
when design is complete. It connects to the serial port of any P& and comes with complete integrated
development environment.
Debugging and programming with SX-DEV is provided via a 6-pin emulation connector which mates with a 6-
pin 0.1-inch square post header in the target system. The connector is wired for OS&1, OS&2, VDD, VSS and
Reset pins, another one pin used as key. The oscillator circuit components on the target board should not be
disconnected as long as the components are within recommended specifications.
