About This Manual
ZiLOG recommends that the user read and understand everything in this
manual before setting up and using the product. However, we recognize
that users have different styles of learning: some will want to set up and
use their new evaluation kit while they read about it; others will open
these pages only to check on a particular specification. Therefore, we
have designed this manual to be used either as a how to procedural
manual or a reference guide to important data.
Intended Audience
This document is written for ZiLOG customers who are experienced at
working with microprocessors or in writing assembly code or compilers.
