LAPIS DEV BOARD READ ME FILE
Last Updated 7 April 2014


Your New LAPIS Development Board comes pre-loaded with the firmware to allow communication between the custom GUI (Graphical User Interface) and your computer. 
This will allow you to control the state of the I/O pins on the LAPIS DEV BOARD.

Before starting, please review the following:
	1.) 	Read and review this document, and related ReadMe files in each of the sub directories
	2.) 	Read "Introduction to the LAPIS DEV BOARD.pdf" in this same directory
	3.) 	Read the Manual for the LAPIS DEV BOARD, as well as the Manual for the GUI (again, both are in this same directory)
	4.)	Review the manuals for the U8 Development Suite - Becoming familiar with this great suite of tools will be essential to getting the most 
		 out of your LAPIS DEV BOARD! (See: folder titled: "Manuals for the U8 Development Suite")



START UP GUIDE:
	1.)	Install U8 Development Suite on your computer 
		Installation includes “C” compiler, Debugger, Flash Programmer – used to write application code and debug its operation
		Installation also includes all the software manuals for the U8 Development tools
	2.)	Once U8 Development Suite is installed, connect your LAPIS DEV BOARD to your Computer via supplied USB Cable
	3.)	If FTDI drivers need installed to help computer connect to LAPIS DEV BOARD, please do so now. (See Read Me File in FTDI Virtual Com Port Drivers directory)
	4.)	Run the GUI, "LAPIS DEV BOARD_ControlSoftware_3-31-2014_rev01.exe" found in the folder: GUI Program 
	5.) 	Select your COM PORT and click the OPEN PORT Button in the GUI
	6.) 	Click "Test UART" Button in the GUI - The Console Window should now state that the LAPIS DEV BOARD ML610Q112 is connected to your computer
