The product is intended for M68HC908EY16 Freescale microcontroller (MCU).

It is strongly recommended that the following compiler version is used:
  - Codewarrior for HC08, Version 3.1;

This document contains additional information about the product.
Presented notes are the latest available.

The following topics are covered:

1. Installation
2. Development hardware and software recommendations


1. Installation

1.1. Setup instructions

It is strongly recommended to close all running applications and login as 
Administrator before LIN08EY16 installation. It helps to avoid an access
error during system icons installation and updating Windows Registry.

Run the SETUP.EXE program from the LIN08EY16 installation directory of the 
distribution kit.

Follow the prompts and instructions of the installation program.

The installation program copies all needed files to the target directory. 
It is strongly recommended to select valid target directory name.
The directory name must not contain spaces.

File FILELIST.TXT in the installation root directory contains a complete 
directory structure and list of files included in this release.

It is necessary to install Adobe Acrobat Reader version 5.0 or newer to 
view the LIN08EY16 User's Manual.

The LIN08 driver installation will occupy approximately 1 MB 
of disk space.

1.2. Uninstallation

To uninstall LIN08 Driver Software use one of the following:
  - "Uninstall" icon in the LINKit for EY16 Program Folder in Windows
    Start/Programs menu or
  - "Add/Remove Programs" applet in the "Control Panel" folder.

Delete LINKitEY16 root directory and all its subdirectories to remove the data
created during LIN08EY16 Driver usage.

If the LIN Program Folder is not removed from Windows Start Programs Menu
after uninstallation then remove it manually.


2. Development hardware and software recommendations

This version of the product is to be used on IBM PC 486 (or higher)
compatible computer.

The PC has to work under Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP during LIN08EY16 installation.

It is necessary to install Adobe (R) Acrobat Reader version 5.0 or newer
to view the LIN08EY16 User's Manual.

2.1. Compilers

Any of the following compiler suite should be installed for application 
compilation and linking:

  - Codewarrior for HC08;

  Note:
    The following compiler version has been used for LIN08 Driver
    developing and testing:
      - Codewarrior for HC08, Version 3.1;
    These compiler version is recommended for application developing
    with LIN08EY16 Driver.
