Step-by-Step Installation Instructions

In this quick start guide, you will learn how to set up the DEVKIT-ZVL128 board and run the default exercise.

1. Install Software and Tools
   Install CodeWarrior Development Studio for S12Z 10.6(Eclipse).
2. Connect the USB Cable
   Connect one end of the USB cable to the PC and the other end to the mini-B connector on the DEVKIT-ZVL128 board. Allow the PC to automatically configure the USB drivers if needed.
3. Using the Example Project
   The pre-loaded example project utilizes the DEVKIT-ZVL128 potentiometer and the RGB LED. Once the board is plugged in you can adjust the potentiometer and the RGB LEDs should illuminate/de-illuminate in response. Each color will change when the potentiometer position is adjusted.
4. Learn More About the S12ZVL
   Read the release notes and documentation on freescale.com/S12ZVL.
