Downloading the pcoder to the Handy Board

First ensure that the serial lead is connected from the Handy board to the COM1 port on the PC. The COM1 port is the D9 connector at the back of the PC.

Place the Handy Board in "Download Mode" by holding down the STOP button while switching on. The BATT and PWR LEDs should be off.

From within a terminal window type the command:

$ dl pcode_hb.s19 and hit return

This assumes you are using serial port COM1. If you wish to change to COM2 then this needs to be specified in the command line:

$ dl pcode_hb.s19 -port /dev/cua1

Once the pcoder has been downloaded, reset the Handy Board by switching it off and then on again. It should beep once and display the following:

To invoke interactive C type:

$ ic and hit return

If using COM2 port then the command will be:

$ ic -port /dev/cua1
