System Overview
The Motorola MC68000 family of microprocessors is now widely
recognized as an industry standard for industrial control and
multi-user computer systems requiring the speed and power of
an advanced 16/32-bit microprocessor. For this reason the
68000 is the number one choice for teaching microprocessor and
control principles to students on electronic engineering and
computing courses at all levels.
The 68000 may be used to teach advanced microprocessor
principles, yet the orthogonal architecture and uniform
addressing modes make it a very straightforward processor to
learn. This, combined with the ease of use of the FLT-68K, make
our system suitable for teaching microprocessors at introductory
level through to advanced applications. The system makes an
ideal platform both for the taught environment of the classroom
and self-teach use by individual users. It also makes an ideal
development/target board for control applications based on the
MC68000.
All you need to start learning and developing 68000 applications
is the FLT-68K and a personal computer with a serial port. The
line assembler, monitor and debugging facilities built into the FLT-68K's firmware may then be used to
enter, run and test your programs. A printer may be linked to the FLT-68K's second serial port to
obtain hard copy output while EEPROMs may be inserted into auxiliary memory sockets to provide non-
volatile storage for programs or data. Used in conjunction with our range of PC-based macro cross
assembler and C compiler packages, the FLT-68K becomes a powerful target system allowing programs
to be downloaded to it in the form of Motorola 'S' Format files.
Included in the package is the FLT-68K system board which is supplied housed in a sturdy book-style
case, a power adapter, a PC serial link cable, PC-based terminal emulation and download software, a
detailed user's manual and Motorola data books for the MC68000 microprocessor and MC68681 and
MC68230 peripheral devices.
