Appendix:
0. Arcom’s Target188EB
All of the examples in this book have been written for and tested on an embed-
ded platform called the Target188EB. This board is a low-cost, high-speed embed-
ded controller designed, manufactured, and sold by Arcom Control Systems. The
following paragraphs contain information about the hardware, required and
included software development tools, and instructions for ordering a board for
yourself.
The Target188EB hardware consists of the following:
• Processor: Intel 80188EB (25 MHz)
• RAM: 128K of SRAM (256K available), with optional battery backup
• ROM: 128K of EPROM and 128K of Flash (512K maximum)
• Two RS232-compatible serial ports (with external DB9 connectors)
• 24-channel parallel port
• 3 programmable timer/counters
• 4 available interrupt inputs
• An 8-bit PC/104 expansion bus interface
• An optional 8-bit STEBus expansion interface
• A remote debugging adapter containing two additional RS232-compatible
serial ports
Software development for this board is as easy as PC programming. The develop-
ment tools and utilities included with the board, when used in combination with
Borland’s C/C++ compiler (sold separately), allow you to develop embedded
applications quickly and easily. In addition, a debug monitor preinstalled in the
onboard Flash memory makes it possible to use Borland’s Turbo Debugger to eas-
