This µP kit not only takes the pain out of getting a microprocessor system up and running, it can be used as the basis for a complete development system. Called the LCDS (low-cost development system), part number ISP-SP/301, the kit is based on the 8-bit SC/MP micro- processor. The new kit is available now and costs less than 315 pounds. Both it and the SC/MP are offered by National Semiconductor. Like other assembled kits from µP and other manufacturers, LCDS permits access to the µP`s data and control lines. Also it allows simple programs to be entered, in hex code, into the main memory. The new kit is able to manipulate and display the program, and to control program execution in a way that permits bugs to be corrected as they are discovered.
