RMB-166
The RMB-166 is an evaluation board for the Infineon 80C166 16-bit high-performance microcontroller in the square plastic quad-flat pack package. The microcontroller is configured to run at 40Mhz with no wait states. A 16-bit non-multiplexed data bus and a 16-bit non-multiplexed address bus are implemented. Several memory options are supported. The default configuration is the 64K RAM and no EPROM mode. In this mode, the monitor program or user program is downloaded to RAM using the 80C166 bootstrap feature. A set of option headers, decoded by GAL devices makes the RMB-166 a flexible hardware platform. All system address, data, and control lines as well as microcontroller ports 2, 3, and 5 are terminated at two 50-post headers. Both 80C166 serial ports are available to the user at RS-232 levels through two DB-9 sockets and a 6-post connector. Serial port 0 is used to communicate to a PC host.Hardware Overview

Software Overview
Reads166, version 3.10, is Rigel Corporation’s Integrated Development Environment for the ST Microelectronics 16-bit processors. Reads166 includes an editor, a host-to-board communications system, an assembler, and a C compiler. Reads166 is completely rewritten in native 32-bit code to run on Windows95, 98, 2000 and WindowsNT. Reads166 includes a sophisticated project management system to simplify code reusability and version control. The C compiler is rewritten to support a full debugger. The debugger allows you to step through your code with breakpoints and variable watches as the compiled code runs on the target board, similar to the operation of an in-circuit emulator.A well-regulated 5-volt (±5% @500mA) power supply is to be provided by the user.
