A starter edition of the PKGCFZPRO software development package is included with the board and provides the capability to compile, debug, and flash-program up to 64 kbyte of user 'C' code. It includes an in-circuit debugger, flash programmer, and the WinIDE integrated environment with built-in GCC compiler. A sample project acts as a template to aid users in developing their own interrupt-driven firmware.

An upgrade to the full version of the software, PKGCFZ_PRO, allows an unlimited amount of user code to be compiled, debugged, and flash-programmed into the target processor. The full edition is also supplied with an assembler and assembly templates to support a wider range of hardware and memory configurations plus an automated version of the flash programmer which allows production programming according to a script file.
