The spi530.exe utility is used to determine what printer ports are available
on your system. This utility replaces a number of previous utilities like
emurst.exe, smcmode,exe etc.
When you execute spi530 with no options you will get the following
help screen.
===================================================
= portio <options; case sensitive> =

Option explanation
-------------------
spi530 -h // Help (shows the options)
spi530 -p xxxx // Specify the host I/O port.
spi530 -e // Examine the ports available on the PC and hopefully
// find one that works.
spi530 -r // Resets the port (same as emurst)
// Must have power on the XDS510PP and target board.
// This option will also print out extended diagnostics
// if there is trouble resetting the emulator.
spi530 -nsc // Replaces nscmode.exe.
spi530 -tosh // Replaces tosh.exe.
spi530 -smc // Replaces smcmode.exe.
spi530 -dadd drvpath\drvname // Add\start NT driver. The driver flags
// will be set for automatic startup.
spi530 -ddrem drvname // Stop\remove NT driver. Do not include
// .sys in the drvname
Notes: For new PCs try to set the port for ECP or ECP+ (SPP8 or EPP)
if available.
The spi530.exe utility and low level emulator software generate a
log file named SdEmuLog.txt. Following is an example:
