Low Cost Debugging Kit for 8-Bit (R) S08 Microcontrollers
|
|
Freescale has recently launched a low cost, high performance USB Debug tool called the USB SPYDER Discovery Kit. This kit enables fast and easy development for embedded systems designers working on Freescale’s low end products. This tool can be used to – - SPY (or monitor) the performance of an application in the early development stages
- Develop application code for several supported target 8-pin (R)S08 microcontrollers from Freescale
- ERadicate bugs (debug) in your application software by using this tool as a fully functioning BDM (Background Debug Module) debug cable
|
The tool has been developed to work with
Freescale’s Fast Track CodeWarrior Development
Environment. This debugging kit is a low cost
yet powerful tool to develop your new product,
resulting in a fast time to market.
What is USBSPYDER08?
The USBSPYDER08 Discovery Kit is a USB based
in-circuit debugger for Freescale MC9RS08KA,
MC9S08QD and MC9S08QG microcontrollers.
USBSPYDER08 comes with an MC9RS08QG8
microcontroller mounted on its 8-pin socket.
Thanks to the built-in BDM connector,
USBSPYDER08 is able to debug external
MC9RS08KA, MC9S08QD and MC9S08QG
devices in any package.
USBSPYDER08 takes advantage of the
CodeWarrior Development Studio Special Edition
(which groups an editor, assembler, C compiler
and debugger) and the Freescale BDM interface,
which allows the download and debug of the
user application into the target microcontroller’s
Flash memory.
Together with CodeWarrior, USBSPYDER08
provides you with everything you need to write,
compile, download, in-circuit emulate and debug
user code. Full speed program execution allows
you to perform hardware and software testing in
real time.
The on-board socket accepts 8-pin devices, while
the provided BDM connector can be used to work
with external devices in any package. Before
working with an external target device, you must
remove the target device mounted on the on-board
socket.
The comprehensive, highly visual CodeWarrior
Development Studio from Freescale, enables you
to build and deploy Freescale systems quickly
and easily. This tool suite provides the capabilities
required by every engineer in the development
cycle, from board bring-up to firmware
development to final application development.
With the introduction of the new SPYDER tool,
Freescale brings a new level of ease of development
and super low cost debugging to all 8-bit users.
HARDWARE
 |
- A built-in USB to BDM circuitry (based on Freescale MC68HC908JB16 microcontroller) which allows the host PC to communicate with the target microcontroller through a standard USB interface
- MC9RS08KA, MC9S08QD or MC9S08QG target microcontroller in 8-pin DIP package, already programmed with a demo application
- A provision for a header connector with all of the microcontroller signals
- BDM connector for debugging external devices. USBSPYDER08 uses a variation of the standard, 6-pin BDM connector defined by Freescale to program and debug external MC9RS08KA, MC9S08QD and MC9S08QG devices, in any package.
