SERIALDEBUGSDI : Development Tools

 

Motorola's SDI is a serial in-circuit debugger that uses the background debug mode (BDM*) on M68HC12, M68HC16, and M68300 microcontrollers, allowing quick verification and updating of embedded software applications. When used with compatible debug software, the SDI allows users to view and modify applications on the fly reducing development time and speeding time to market. * BDM is a feature of Motorola's M68HC12, M68HC16, and M68300 MCU embedded breakpoint andtrace hardware. A user connects the SDI in-line between the computer's serial port and the target system's BDM connector. The tool is available in 5-volt-only and low-voltage (2.7 5.5-volt) versions.

SERIALDEBUGSDI Features

Hardware and Software Components

The SDI comes with:

  • 6-pin interface connector for M68HC12 MCU devices
  • 10-pin interface connector for M68HC16 or M68300 MCU devices
  • SDBug software, which supports source-level debugging and on-board device and flash EEPROM programming. NOTE: SDBug is ordered separately

 

System Requirements

The SDI requires:

  • 486-based or higher PC running DOS 5.0 or higher
  • RS-232C serial port for communications I/O
  • +5-volt power supply (when the low-voltage version is being used).

 

Selecting and Ordering the SDI

Choosing the correct SDI for a particular development project depends on two factors:

  • the MCU device family upon which the target application is based
  • the SDI voltage version that is needed.
    NOTE: The SDI hardware and software are ordered separately.

Note: DBug12 does not use the BDM interface.
Note: If the M68HC912B32's background debug mode (BDM) interface serves as the user interface, the SCI port becomes available for user applications. This mode requires a background debug development tool, such as Motorola's SDI interface, and a host computer with the appropriate software or another B32EVB.
Note: The SDI hardware and software are ordered separately.
Note: DBug12 does not use the BDM interface.
