68HCS08 development tools

Freescale have developed a new family based on the  68HC08 range that uses newer technology HCS08 (faster and with a lower minimum voltage).  A major enhancement for this new range is that it uses a true BDM interface rather than the MON08 monitor based debugger used on the 68HC08.

BDM Cables The P&E USB Multilink cables will support and automatically adjust to the clock frequencies and voltages of the 68HCS08 family.  The USB Multilink  interface will also work with the HC12, HCS12 and HCS12X microcontrollers.

Cyclone Pro Interface

This box will connect a PC via Ethernet, USB or Serial ports to an HC08, HCS08, HCR08, HC12, HCS12 or HCS12X.  It can be used as a Debugger or as a Flash programmer under manual or automatic control.  It can even be disconnected from the PC and used as a standalone Flash programmer.  If you are developing applications for any ( or indeed all ) of these Freescale devices it is the only CPU specific hardware development tool you will ever need to buy

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.

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.

Development Kit - HCS08-GB

The HCS08-GB kit contains all that is needed to begin development of 68HC08 programs.... A Multilink cable, The P&E software package including Assembler, Debugger and Flash Programmer.  The Axiom 68HCS08GB60 board with 60K Byte Flash, 4K Bytes Ram,56 I/O lines, 8 channel Timers, 8 Channel 10 BIT A/D, , 2 x SCI Serial Ports,SPI and IIC Serial Ports.  The Clock generator w/ FLL up to 40Mhz operation, a 32Khz Crystal, and a prototype area all on a board 4” x 4.5”.  ( no power supply is included )

Packages

The programs above are available in a number of packages containing  Cable, winIDE, Assembler, Editor, ICD,  RegExplorer and Flash Programmer.
