You must have a PC with the following software installed:
It is assumed that visualSTATE was installed after Embedded Workbench. If not, please ensure that the CSpy plug-in (vw.ewplugin) and plug-in for Build Integration (swtdvs.dll) form the plugin directory of the visualSTATE installation are copied to the subdirectories common\plugins and ARM\bin respectively from the Embedded Workbench installation.
You must have an AT91SAM7X-EK development board and an IAR J-Link debugger. If you have a KSDK-AT91SAM7X-PLUS KickStart kit from IAR, you are all set. A technical description of the board can be found on the Atmel website in document doc6195.pdf. Connect the J-Link debugger to the 20p JTAG connector on the board and the USB side of the J-Link to your computer. The board should be powered through it's own USB connector. Prefferably use the standard USB A/B cable and the the 'USB type' power supply as delivered with the KickStart Kit.
The board features two serial 9 pins male SubD connectors. The RealLink debug channel (when applied) uses the standard RS232 COM Port on the board as indicated below (although the 'Serial Debug Port left to it might have been more appropriate). You will need a crossed Female to Female serial cable (Null modem cable) to connect to a standard COM port on your PC. For builds of the example code that do not involve RealLink (but CSpyLink), the COM port of the board is used to output a simple startup message upon startup. This can be observed with Windows HyperTerminal, or any generic terminal tool such as PutTTY, configured for direct serial transfer at 19200,N,8,1.
