④ Busy Lamp: Red light; In offline programming mode, the lamp flashes when IC is programming; In firmware upgrading mode, the lamp flashes indicating the firmware is upgrading;
⑤ OK Lamp: Blue light; In offline programming mode, the lamp lights when the programming is completed
⑥ NG Lamp: Red light; In offline programming mode, the lamp lights when the programming fails
⑦ Cable Interface: The cable interface below is sorted subject to the actual sequence with the function category distinguished by the font color: blue for programming interface, black for programmer interface and red for power output interface
VDD | DIO | VSS | CLK | RST | VUSB |
GND | OK | NG | Busy | Start | 3.3V |
2. Simulation Descriptions
Please download and install SOC_KEIL_Setup in advance (click to download)。
SC LINK PRO provides MCU online simulation for SOC 92/93/95 series, which is available for debugging, step debugging, step-over debugging and RST operations for up to 8 breakpoints (7 for users, and 1 as hidden breakpoint), to view and modify RAM and SFR and debug the program in development stage. Before use, complete the following configurations.
① Open Keil project file, click the shortcut icon “Target Option”, select “Debug” in “Target Option” interface, click “Use” and select “SOC 8051 Driver”, and then check “Run to main()”, as shown in the figure below:
② Click “Utilities” and select “SOC 8051 Driver” from “Use Target Driver for Flash Programming”, as shown in the figure below:
③ Click “Settings” to enter “Programming Option Information Interface”, as shown in the figure below:
④ Programming Option Information Configuration.
1) Chip Select: select IC name for pre-programming or simulation.
2) Programming Setting: select automatic programming, including erasing, programming, verifying, etc.
3) Programming Options: Set Code Option as needed.
4) Programming Area: APROM or EEPROM.
5) Upgrade: Upgrade the library file.
6) Help: Version-related information.
Note: If the required IC model is not found in chip option or the corresponding model found can not be simulated, it is required to click “Upgrade” to enter the upgrade interface.
Upgrade MCU Library: Upgrade “.socmculib” library file provided by SOC. select “Upgrade MCU Library”, select the library file to be upgraded, and click “Open” to complete the upgrade.
Upgrade Firmware: Upgrade the firmware of programmer provided by SOC.
⑤ DownLoad shortcut key
“DownLoad” will perform IC operations according to programming Option configurations, not only programming code and Code Option selected , but also erasing, programming and verifying according to Programming Setting shown in the figure below.
