MON166: CONNECTING TO A TERMINAL DOESN'T WORK

Information in this article applies to:

• C166 Version 3.12
• C166 Version 4.03

SYMPTOMS

I have installed the MON166 monitor in ROM in my C167 hardware. However, I can't seem to connect to the monitor with my terminal. What am I doing wrong?

CAUSE

MON166 is meant to connect with the dScope debugger or the µVision debugger. A special protocol is used which is difficult to emulate with only a terminal.

RESOLUTION

Use dScope or the µVision Debugger to connect with your target hardware. The debugger will route your serial output to a window. Since the communication with the monitor uses a protocol, anything that doesn't use this protocol MUST be your serial I/O.
