Low Cost Development Tools
 for Freescale Micros

68HC05

The HC05 is a simple CPU which has no on-chip debugging capability. Software available includes a command line Assembler, a Windows IDE, a Register Explorer and Windows user interfaces to the Freescale MMDS and MMEV in circuit emulators.

68HC08

All 68HC08s have, built into the chip, a small software monitor (MON08) which links to the outside world via one of the chips pins and which can be used by developers to test programs and to program chips that contain Flash or EEPROM.  P&E provides USB interfaces to this non standard serial protocol and a free set of development software. A production programmer called the Cyclone PRO is also available.

68HCS08/RS08

These CPUs all have a special interface included on the CPU called BDM that provides a simple debugging mechanism. P&E produce Parallel, USB and Ethernet interfaces between the PC and this BDM (to the HC12 standard). Software is available to support those interfaces for debugging, flash programming and production testing. The Cyclone Pro provides both PC based development as well as PC and standalone production programming capabilities.

68HC11

The HC11 is a simple CPU which has no on-chip debugging capability.  Software available includes a command line Assembler, a Windows IDE, a Register Explorer and Windows user interfaces to the Freescale MMDS in circuit emulators.

68HC12, HCS12

These CPUs all have a special interface included on the CPU called BDM that provides a simple debugging mechanism. P&E produce parallel, USB and Ethernet interfaces between the PC and this BDM HC12 standard. Software is available to support those interfaces for debugging, flash programming and production testing.  The Cyclone Pro provides both PC based development as well as PC and standalone production programming capabilities.

68HC16

These CPUs all have a BDM interface included on the CPU that provides a simple debugging mechanism.  P&E produce parallel and USB interfaces between the PC and this BDM 16/32 standard. Software is available to support that interface for debugging, flash programming and production testing.

68HC32 & 32+

These 68000 family CPUs such as the 68332 all have a special interface included on the CPU called BDM that provides a simple debugging mechanism. P&E produce parallel and USB interfaces between the PC and this BDM 16/32 standard. Software is available to support that interface for debugging, flash programming and production testing.

ColdFire

These CPUs all have an interface included on the CPU called BDM that provides a simple debugging mechanism. P&E produce parallel, USB and Ethernet interfaces between the PC and this BDM ColdFire standard. Software is available to support that interface for debugging, flash programming and production testing. P&E also have a development board, complete debugger and GCC compiler with examples ready to run "out of the CD box". The Cyclone Max provides both PC based development as well as PC and standalone production programming capabilities. 

Power PC

The 500 & 800 family CPUs all have a BDM interface included on the CPU that provides a simple debugging mechanism. P&E produce parallel, USB and Ethernet interfaces between the PC and this BDM PPC standard. Software is available to support that interface for debugging, flash programming and production testing. The Cyclone Max provides both PC based development as well as PC and standalone production programming capabilities. 

The PPC 55xx/56xx family has a JTAG interface and P&E provide a USB PC interface to it along with software that includes a Flash Programmer a complete debugger and GCC compiler with examples ready to run "out of the CD box"  The Cyclone Max provides both PC based development as well as PC and standalone production programming capabilities.
