About This Manual
This manual helps you install the TMS370 Family EPROM/EEPROM pro-
grammer. You can use the programmer to program EPROM and EEPROM de-
vices. The interface to the programmer is similar to that of the TMS370 Family
C source debugger. Chapter 2 of this manual describes the programmer inter-
face; for additional information about the interface, see the TMS370 Family C
Source Debugger User’s Guide.
Notational Conventions
This document uses the following conventions.
�
The TMS370 family of processors is referred to as the ’370.
�
Programmer commands are not case sensitive; you can enter them in low-
ercase, uppercase, or a combination. To emphasize this fact, commands
are shown throughout this user’s guide in both uppercase and lowercase.
However, parameters for certain commands are case sensitive; the book
describes these instances.
�
In syntax descriptions, the instruction or command is in a bold face font,
and parameters are in italics. Portions of a syntax that are in bold face
should be entered as shown; portions of a syntax that are in italics
describe the kind of information that should be entered. Here is an exam-
ple of a command syntax:
prog
address, length [, filename]
prog is the command. This command has three parameters, indicated by
address, length, and filename. The third parameter is optional.
�
Square brackets ( [ and ] ) identify an optional parameter. If you use an
optional parameter, you specify the information within the brackets; you
don’t enter the brackets themselves. Here’s an example of a command
that has an optional parameter:
ver
address, length [, filename]
The VER command has three parameters; the third parameter, filename,
is optional.

sk370dv.prg defines the different TMS370 EPROM/EEPROM fami-
ly devices that can be used for programming and other information
specific to the the programmer. This file must not be modified.
Optional files
included as part of
debugger package
init.cmd is a general-purpose batch file that contains programmer
commands. This batch file defines a ’370 memory map. When you
start using the programmer, this memory map should be sufficient
for your needs. Later, you may want to define your own memory
map. For information about setting up your own memory map, see
Section 2.4, Defining a Memory Map, on page 2-5.
In addition to init.cmd, there are several other .cmd files in the maps
directory. These .cmd files define memory maps for standard ’370
devices. If you want to emulate a specific device, copy the
appropriate .cmd file to your init.cmd file.
init.clr is a general-purpose screen configuration file. If init.clr isn’t
present when you invoke the programmer, the programmer uses the
default screen configuration.
Several .clr (for color monitors) and .mon (for monochrome
monitors) screen configuration files are included in the screens
directory. When you invoke the programmer the first time, the de-
fault screen configuration should be sufficient for your needs. Later,
you may want to define your own custom configuration.
For information about these files and about setting up your own
screen configuration, see the TMS370 Family C Source Debugger
User’s Guide.

1.2
Step 1: Installing the Programmer Board
The programmer board (shown in figure 1-1) is designed to accept five types
of integrated circuits (ICs):
�
40-pin dual inline packages (DIPs)
�
28-pin DIPs
�
28-pin plastic leaded chip carriers (PLCCs)
�
68-pin PLCCs
�
44-pin PLCCs
These types of ICs fit the following ’370 devices:
TMS370C702
TMS370C712
TMS370C722
TMS370C732
TMS370C742
TMS370C250
TMS370C256
TMS370C756
TMS370C758
TMS370C768
TMS370C777
The programmer board also programs the EEPROM for the ROM devices that
the one-time programmable (OTP) devices above support. Prototyping de-
vices (devices with SE prefixes) are also supported.
The locations of the different ICs in the programmer board are represented in
Figure 1–1 as IC1 to IC5.
A slide switch (S1) applies power to the IC to be programmed.

Insert the desired programming socket into the peel-away holes on the
programmer board. Figure 1-1 shows the location of the different sets of
peel-away holes (IC1–IC5). See page 1-7 for recommended PLCC sock-
ets.
Step 1: Installing the Programmer Board
1-6
4)
Connect a 5-V/500-mA power supply to the programmer board via the bar-
rel jack (P1). Alternatively, you can connect the power supply to the screw
power socket (P2). The + and – input lines are labeled on the printed
board. Be sure that the power to the programmer board is off.
Inserting or removing ICs while power is applied to the socket can
damage your ICs.
5)
Insert the integrated circuit (IC).
6)
Turn on the programmer by sliding switch S1 to the POWER position. If
necessary, you can reset the programmer board via the reset push button
(R1).

For accessing the EPROM area of these devices, the programmer does not
allow you to specify an array (start address and length) that overlaps the
EPROM bank 1 and bank 2. Such an access must be performed in two passes.
Devices with more than 32k of EPROM are not supported by the
programmer.

Step 2: Installing the Programmer Software
This section explains the process of installing the programmer software on a
hard-disk system.
1)
Make a backup copy of the product disk.
2)
On your hard disk or system disk, create a directory named 370prg. This
directory will contain the programmer software. To create this directory,
enter:
MD C:\370PRG
3)
Insert the product disk into drive A. Copy the contents of the disk:
XCOPY /V /S A:\*.* C:\370PRG
You may want to create a Windows program group and use a program-item
icon to make it easier to invoke the programmer from within the Windows envi-
ronment.
Creating a program group
A program group contains program-item icons. You can use program groups
to help you organize your icons. To create a program group, follow these steps:
1)
From the Windows Program Manager, select File → New. This displays
the New Program Object dialog box.
2)
Make sure Program Group is selected.
3)
Click on OK. This displays the Program Group Properties dialog box.
4)
Enter a name for the program group in the Description field.
5)
Click on OK. This displays an empty program group with the name you en-
tered.
Step 2: Installing the Programmer Software
1-9
Installing the Programming Tool With Windows
Using a program-item icon
A program-item icon represents an application that you can run from Windows.
Program-item icons are contained inside program groups. The programmer
software already has a standard icon that you can use. To use the standard
programmer icon, follow these steps:
1)
If the program group in which you want to place the icon is not already
open, double-click on it to open it.
2)
Open the Windows File Manager.
3)
Arrange the windows so you can see the program group and the File Man-
ager at the same time.
4)
In the prg370 directory of the Windows File Manager, click once on
prg370w.exe to select the executable file.
5)
Drag and drop the prg370w.exe into the program group. An icon that looks
like this displays:
You can now close the File Manager.
6)
Click once on the program icon to select it.
7)
In the Program Manager, select File → Properties. This displays the Pro-
gram Item Properties dialog box.
8)
Modify the information in the Command Line field to include the options
you normally use at start-up. For a summary of the options that you can
use, see Table 2–1, Summary of Programmer Options, on page 2-2.
Step 3: Setting Up the Programmer Environment

1.4
Step 3: Setting Up the Programmer Environment
To ensure that your programmer works correctly, you must perform some
tasks before you invoke the programmer for the first time or anytime you power
up or reboot your PC. You can perform these tasks by entering individual DOS
commands, but it is simpler to put the commands in a batch file. You can edit
your system’s autoexec.bat file, but in some cases, modifying that file can in-
terfere with other applications running on your PC. You can create a separate
batch file to perform these tasks instead. No matter which way you choose to
do them, these are the tasks you must perform:
�
Modify the PATH statement to identify the 370prg directory.
�
Define environment variables so that the programmer can find the files it
needs.
Figure 1–2 (a) shows an example of an autoexec.bat file that contains the
suggested modifications. Figure 1–2 (b) shows a sample batch file that you
could create instead of editing the autoexec.bat file. The subsections following
the figure explain these modifications.

PATH=C:\370PRG
This allows you to invoke the programmer without specifying the name of the
directory that contains the programmer executable file.
�
If you are modifying an autoexec.bat file that already contains a PATH
statement, simply include ;C:\370prg at the end of the statement, as
shown in Figure 1–2 (a).
�
If you are creating your own batch file, use a different format for the PATH
statement:
PATH=%PATH%;C:\370PRG
The addition of %path%; ensures that this PATH statement won’t override
PATH statements in any other batch files (including the autoexec.bat file).
Setting up the environment variables
An environment variable is a special system symbol that the programmer uses
to find certain types of information. The programmer uses two environment
variables, D_DIR and D_OPTIONS. Use the following instructions to set up
these environment variables.
�
Identify the 370prg directory with D_DIR. Enter:
SET D_DIR=C:\370PRG
(Be careful not to precede the equal sign with a space.)
This directory contains auxiliary files (such as sk370dv.prg) that the pro-
grammer needs.
�
Identify invocation options that you want to use regularly with
D_OPTIONS. Use this format:
SET D_OPTIONS= [filename] [options]
(Be careful not to precede the equal sign with a space.)
The filename parameter identifies the optional object file for the program-
mer to load, and the options parameters list the options you want to use at
invocation.
For information about options, see the invocation instructions in
Section 2.1, Invoking the Programmer.
Step 3: Setting Up the Programmer Environment
1-12
Invoking the new or modified batch file
�
If you modify the autoexec.bat file, be sure to invoke it before invoking the
programmer for the first time. To invoke this file, enter:
AUTOEXEC
�
If you create your own batch file, you must invoke it before entering
Windows. You’ll need to invoke your batch file any time that you power up
or reboot your PC. For the purpose of this discussion, assume that this
sample batch file is named initprg.bat. To invoke this file, enter:
INITPRG

Step 4: Verifying the Installation
1-14
If you see a display similar to this, you have correctly installed your program-
mer board and software.
If you do not see this kind of display, then your programmer may not be
installed properly. Go back through the installation instructions and be sure
you have followed each step correctly; then double-click on the program icon.
Notes:
1)
Using Windows, you can freely move or resize the programmer display
on the screen. If the resized window is bigger than the programmer re-
quires, the extra space is not used. If the resized window is smaller than
required, the display is clipped. Note that when the display is clipped, it
can’t be scrolled.
2)
When running Windows, you should run it in either the standard mode
or the 386 enhanced mode to get the best results.
Using the Programmer
This chapter briefly describes the programmer interface. The programmer in-
terface is similar to that of the C source debugger described in the TMS370
Family C Source Debugger User’s Guide. Refer to the user’s guide for addi-
tional information about using the interface.

2.1
Invoking the Programmer
Before turning on the programmer, be sure that it is plugged in and correctly
connected as described in Section 1.2. Turn on the programmer’s power
switch before running the programmer software.
Here is the basic format for the command that invokes the programmer:
prg370w
[filename]
[options]
prg370w
is the command that invokes the programmer software.
filename
is an optional parameter that lets you select an object file for
the programmer to load into memory during invocation. The
programmer looks for the file in the current directory; if the file
is not in the current directory, you must supply the entire path-
name. If you don’t supply an extension for the filename, the
programmer assumes that the extension is .out.
options
supply
the
programmer
with
additional
information
(Table 2–1 summarizes the available options).
You can also specify filename and option information with the D_OPTIONS
environment variable (see Setting up the environment variables discussion on
page 1-11. Table 2–1 lists the programmer options.

Using the Programmer
2.2
Descriptions of the Interface Windows and Their Contents
The programmer interface has three windows. Each window is identified by a
name in its upper left corner.
�
The COMMAND window provides an area for typing in commands and
displays various types of information such as progress messages, error
messages, or command output.
�
The command line is where you enter keyboard commands.
�
The display area echoes any command that you enter, shows any out-
put from the command, and displays programmer messages.
�
The DISASSEMBLY window displays the disassembly (assembly lan-
guage version) of memory contents.
�
The MEMORY window displays the contents of a range of memory. A
MEMORY window has two parts:
�
The first column of numbers identifies the addresses of the first col-
umn of displayed data. No matter how many columns of data you dis-
play, only one address column is displayed. Each address in this col-
umn is the address of the data immediately to its right.
�
The remaining columns display the data values subsequent address-
es. You can display more data by making the window wider and/or
longer. You can also edit the data by clicking on the value you want to
change and typing in the new value. You can only edit mapped data.
The programmer software displays mapped data in white. You cannot
edit data displayed in red (not mapped).
A window’s size and its position in the display of the programmer interface
aren’t fixed—you can resize and move windows. You can also modify a win-
dow’s contents.
The windows in the programmer interface work the same way that the debug-
ger windows work. For more information about debugger windows, see the
TMS370 Family C Source Debugger User’s Guide.
Using the Menu Bar and the Pulldown Menus
2-4
2.3
Using the Menu Bar and the Pulldown Menus
In addition to the command window, the programmer has a menu bar, which
gives you an alternative method for entering many of the programmer com-
mands. The menu bar is at the top of the display.
All of the selections on the menu bar have pulldown menus; if they could all
be pulled down at once, they’d look like this:
Load
Load
Memory
Add
Delete
Reset
List
Fill
Save
Prog
Device
Program
Verify
Upload
Blank Check
Color
Load
Save
Config
Border
Prompt
There are several ways to display the pulldown menus and then execute your
selections from them. Executing a command from a menu has the same effect
as executing a command by typing it in.
�
To use the pulldown menus with a mouse, follow these steps:
1)
Point the mouse cursor at one of the menu-bar selections.
2)
Click the left mouse button. This displays the menu until you are ready
to make a selection.
3)
Point the mouse cursor at your selection on the pulldown menu.
4)
When your selection is highlighted, click the left mouse button.
�
To use the pulldown menus with the keyboard, follow these steps:
1)
Press the ALT key; don’t release it.
2)
Press the key that corresponds to the highlighted letter in the selection
name; release both keys. This displays the menu and freezes it.
3)
Press and release the key that corresponds to the highlighted letter of
your selection in the menu.
If you display a menu and then decide that you don’t want to make a selection
from this menu, you can do one of the following:
�
Press ESC .
�
Point the mouse outside of the menu; press and then release the left
mouse button.
Defining a Memory Map
2-5
Using the Programmer
2.4
Defining a Memory Map
Before you begin a programmer session, you must supply the programmer
with a valid memory map. The memory map tells which areas of memory the
software can access and which are inaccessible. Typically, you define the map
to match the MEMORY definition in your linker command file.
You can define your memory map in the initialization batch file (init.cmd). The
programmer software supplies you with memory maps for standard devices.
The programmer loads init.cmd with the ’C756 memory map as the default.
Use the following command format in the command window to access a differ-
ent memory map file:
take maps\device name.cmd
The device name is the last four characters of the TMS370 device name. For
example, the following command accesses the memory map for the
TMS370C758 device.
take maps\c758.cmd
You can also add, delete, reset, or list memory map ranges by using the
Memory pulldown menu selections or by using the MA, MD, MR, and ML com-
mands. For more information about these commands, see the Defining a
Memory Map chapter in the TMS370 Family C Source Debugger User’s
Guide.
For the MA command, the programmer accepts only two keywords for the type
parameter:
EPROM: Identifies a memory area that will be programmed on the EPROM
EEPROM: Identifies a memory area that will be programmed on the EEPROM
Programming Memory Devices

Programming Memory Devices
The programmer allows you to transfer data from a PC to on-chip EPROM/
EEPROM in order to program a ’370 device. The programmer provides you
with a complete set of commands for programming a memory device. These
commands allow you to:
�
Set the device name.
�
Verify that the device you want to program is blank.
�
Program the device.
�
Verify that the device was programmed correctly.
�
Upload data from the ’370 device’s on-chip EPROM/EEPROM.
The commands that perform these actions are described in the sections that
follow. You can enter these commands by:
�
Typing the commands on the programmer command line.
�
Using the Prog menu:
Prog
Device
Program
Verify
Upload
Blank Check
�
Including the commands in a batch file and executing the file with the TAKE
command from the command line.

You can set the device name so that the programmer can access the correct
information about your device by either of two ways:
�
Use the PGDEVICE command with the following syntax:
pgdevice
devicename
The devicename is the abbreviation of the device you want to program. If
you enter the command without specifying a device name, the program-
mer displays a dialog box for you to enter the device name.
�
Select Device from the Prog menu.
If you select Device from the Prog menu, the programmer displays a dialog
box for you to enter the device name.
If you see the following error, make sure you selected a device that the pro-
grammer supports.
Device selection failed
Programming Memory Devices
2-8
Verifying that the device EPROM is blank
If you want to program EPROM on a ’370 device, you must first verify that the
device is blank. EEPROM does not need to be blank before programming. To
verify that an EPROM is blank, use the BLANK command.
You can use the BLANK command in either of two ways:
�
Use the BLANK command with the following syntax:
blank
address, length
If you enter BLANK without any parameters, the programmer displays a
dialog box for you to enter the address and length parameters.
�
Select Blank Check from the Prog menu.
If you select Blank Check from the Prog menu, the programmer displays a
dialog box for you to enter the address and length parameters.
When you use the BLANK command, you must supply data for the address
and length parameters.
�
The address parameter defines the starting address of the range you want
to program. It must be within the boundaries of one of the EPROM ranges
that you defined previously with the MA command. This parameter can be
an absolute address, a C expression, the name of a C function, or an as-
sembly language label.
The address defaults to the address of the first EPROM range defined in
the memory map; after you have blank checked a device, the address de-
faults to the previous address specified in the memory map.
�
The length parameter defines the length of the range. The length must be
within the boundaries of one of the EPROM ranges that you defined pre-
viously with the MA command. This parameter can be any C expression.
The length defaults to the length of the first EPROM range defined in the
memory map; after you have blank checked a device, the length defaults
to the previous length specified in the memory map.
Programming Memory Devices
2-9
Using the Programmer
Transferring data into the device
Once you have prepared your ’370 device for programming, you can program
the device with the contents of the programmer’s memory. To do so, use the
PROG command.
You can use the PROG command in either of two ways:
�
Use the PROG command with the following syntax:
prog
address, length[, filename]
If you enter the PROG command without any parameters, the programmer
displays a dialog box for you to enter the address, length, and filename.
�
Select Program from the Prog menu
If you select Program from the Prog menu, the programmer displays a dia-
log box for you to enter the address, length, and filename.
The PROG command accepts three parameters. Address and length define
a memory range and are required. The filename parameter is optional.
�
The address parameter defines the starting address of the range you want
to program. It must be within the boundaries of one of the EPROM/
EEPROM ranges that you defined previously with the MA command. This
parameter can be an absolute address, a C expression, the name of a C
function, or an assembly language label.
The address defaults to the address of the first EPROM/EEPROM range
defined in the memory map; after you have programmed a device, the ad-
dress defaults to the previous address specified in the memory map.
�
The length parameter defines the length of the range. The length must be
within the boundaries of one of the EPROM/EEPROM ranges that you de-
fined previously with the MA command. This parameter can be any C ex-
pression.
The length defaults to the length of the first EPROM/EEPROM range de-
fined in the memory map; after you have programmed a device, the length
defaults to the previous length specified in the memory map.
�
The optional filename parameter allows you to specify a file that records
any errors. If you do not supply a filename, the filename defaults to $$err$$
the first time you enter PROG. After you have specified a filename during
the programming session, the default becomes that filename.
Programming Memory Devices

If the device programming fails, the software creates an error file in your
prg370w directory. Click on the file icon to view the error message. The con-
tents of the error file will look something like this:
**********************************************

Troubleshooting
If you see the following message, ensure that your RS-232 cable is con-
nected, the power switch is in the ON position, and that your device is seated
properly in its socket. You will also see this message if you try to program a
blank EPROM.

2-11
Using the Programmer
Verifying that the device was programmed correctly
To verify whether a device has been programmed successfully, you can use
the VER command. This command compares the on-chip EPROM/EEPROM
of the specified address range with that of the programmer memory and logs
all of the mismatches in a file.
You can use the VER command in either of two ways:
�
Use the VER command with the following syntax:
ver
address, length[, filename]
If you enter the VER command without any parameters, the programmer
displays a dialog box for you to enter the address, length, and filename.
�
Select Verify form the Prog menu
If you select Verify from the Prog menu, the programmer displays a dialog
box for you to enter the address, length, and filename.
The VER command accepts three parameters. Address and length define a
memory range and are required. The filename parameter is optional.
�
The address parameter defines the starting address of the range you want
to program. It must be within the boundaries of one of the EPROM/
EEPROM ranges that you defined previously with the MA command. This
parameter can be an absolute address, a C expression, the name of a C
function, or an assembly language label.
The address defaults to the address of the first EPROM/EEPROM range
defined in the memory map; after you have programmed a device, the ad-
dress defaults to the previous address specified in the memory map.
�
The length parameter defines the length of the range. The length must be
within the boundaries of one of the EPROM/EEPROM ranges that you de-
fined previously with the MA command. This parameter can be any C ex-
pression.
The length defaults to the length of the first EPROM/EEPROM range de-
fined in the memory map; after you have programmed a device, the length
defaults to the previous length specified in the memory map.
�
The optional filename parameter allows you to specify a file that stores
all the mismatches. If you do not supply a filename, the filename defaults
to $$err$$ the first time you enter VER. After you have specified a filename
during the programming session, the default becomes that filename.

Uploading data from the device’s on-chip EPROM/EEPROM
Once you have programmed a device, you can load its contents from the on-
chip EPROM/EEPROM of the device to the programmer memory by using the
UPLOAD command.
You can use the UPLOAD command in either of two ways:
�
Use the UPLOAD command with the following syntax:
upload
address, length
If you enter UPLOAD without any parameters, the programmer displays a
dialog box for you to enter the address and length.
�
Select Upload from the Prog menu.
If you select Upload from the Prog menu, the programmer displays a dia-
log box for you to enter the address and length.
When you use the UPLOAD command, you must supply data for the address
and length parameters.
�
The address parameter defines the starting address of the range you want
to program. It must be within the boundaries of one of the EPROM/
EEPROM ranges that you defined previously with the MA command. This
parameter can be an absolute address, a C expression, the name of a C
function, or an assembly language label.
The address defaults to the address of the first EPROM/EEPROM range
defined in the memory map; after you have programmed a device, the ad-
