1. Now you can run the IDEA EXE for the first time Note that if you use Windows NT 2K XP Vista you must use the administrator mode because the parallel port driver asixio sys will be installed typically to C Windows System32 Drivers directory when performing first access to hardware Also you must have write access rights for the directory where IDEA EXE is installed to allow the IDEA application store here the global parameter file IDEA INI You may find convenient to associate the IppP file extension with program IDEA because it allows you to start projects using file managers like Windows Commander ZTreeWin FAR or even Explorer NOTES 1 If you have already installed any previous version of IDEA please un install it before new installation to remove old unnecessary files Your projects and source files will remain unchanged only IDEA directory Projects Examples Example files will be rewritten 2 You must have the write access in directories folders where IDEA is installed and in project target directories Thus is not possible to run the software from e g CD ROM The settings cannot be saved in such case and software gives an error message 3 Software IDEA requires correct date and time setup on your computer IDEA compares the date time information of asm source files and coD debug file and decides whether the source files must be compiled before using the information contained in the debug file Page 6 82. 5 Quick Start Step 1 Install MU Beta hardware as described in chapter 2 Hardware installation Step 2 Install the IDEA software as described in the chapter 4 Software installation Windows NT 2K XP Vista users should have administrator rights for first access to hardware Then after automatic driver installation the standard user rights are sufficient Step 3 If hardware and software are installed and emulator is switched on run the program IDEA e g by click on its desktop icon In the very beginning MPASMWIN assembler will be invoked first to build the project Example Then you are asked to select action choose the default Continue to use an EXAMPLE project button Now you see IDEA desktop with Program Memory window and Console window opened Step 4 Now it is necessary to setup hardware communication Select menu Options Global a Global Options dialog will be opened Then select the tab with your equipment name MU Beta and set up the communication parameters Typical setting is LPT1 with base address address 0378h Step 5 Change the project equipment to MU Beta Using menu Project Edit Project open the Edit Project dialog and set up equipment from default DEMO to MU Beta Do not change the part type PIC16F84A Confirm change by pressing OK then select Yes to next question Project will be rebuilt using MPASMWIN and then hardware initialization of emulator FPGA configuration and complete internal set up is
