The LAPIS development kit consist of a board, sample projects, a PC based GUI, a nanoEase debugger, and the complete IDE. The nano EASE communicates with the Debugger software on the PC through a USB interface to control and monitor the microcontroller while it is operating. The PC based GUI communicates to the board over another USB interface from a computer. The GUI interacts with a program on the microcontroller so that the user can select functions on the device and configure and manipulate them. For example the user can select a specific IO pin as an output and write a value to it. This can all be done without the designer writing any code so a quick evaluation can be done.
