BDM Cables

P&E's units provides access to the Background Debug Mode (BDM) on the basic CPU32 microprocessor. They act as the hardware interface between an IBM PC  and a 10 pin background debug header on the target system.  A separate version of the parallel Cable is available for 3v and 5v targets. The USB cable will operate over a 1.8-5v range.    If you are using P&E cables with other manufacturers debuggers/compilers then consult them for support status. 

Cable16/32 uses the PCs parallel port (DB25 female connector) A separate version of the Cable16/32 is available for 3v and 5v targets.		USB Multilink 16/32 interaces to USB 2 ports on W98, W2K, ME and XP PCs and is much faster than the Cable16/32. It draws power from USB interface so no separate power supply is used. One cable handles target voltages of 1.8V-5.5V

Assembler 

A simple command line assembler adequate for many small applications ( no linker but the source file can have multiple includes).  It provides macros and conditional assembly.

Integrated Development Environment 

WinIDE is a windows package that includes a configurable text editor and provides the ability to launch a range of other programs from within its centralised operation.  Includes the Assembler.

In Circuit Debugger

A windows package that via the cable provides all the services of a debugger providing as it does access to the contents of variables and registers along with control of the CPU's execution via Breakpoints and Run commands.

Register Explorer

When you display the contents of one of the micros standard registers with the Reg Explorer it shows not just the contents but their Freescale Mnemonic and a brief text description of that state.  When setting values you can choose between valid options for each field and sub field. 

Flash Programmer

Using the BDM cable to interface between a PC and a target processor this windows software package will program either on chip or external flash memory or on chip EEPROM.
To see which Flash devices are supported follow this link. 

Unit programs

A set of C library calls that provide an API for using the BDM interface.  Ideal for those who need to write their own PC based test or diagnostics programs.  The standard version includes a license for 5 units.  The distribution version provides unlimited production of applications.

Packages

The programs above are available as a package containing  Cable, winIDE, Assembler, Editor, ICD,  RegExplorer and Flash Programmer.
