Zilog Developer Studio II (ZDS II) Integrated Devel-
opment Environment (IDE). ZDS II supports code
editing, assembler/C-compiler/linker features,
source-level debugging, and project managing
facilities for quick and efficient development of
embedded applications. ZDS II is available for free
download at
www.zilog.com
and is also included
with all Zilog
®
Flash based devices.
The general features of SFP include:
• Single step programming
• Windows

settings specific to target board
– Production configuration provides
minimal interfaces to Program, Verify, and
Erase the Flash
• Supports multiple hex file programming
• Programs multiple targets attached
sequentially over Ethernet or USB Smart
Cables
• Provides interface to calculate hex file and
Flash checksum
• Supports following types of serialization for
