ColdFire V1 development tools

Freescale have created a simplified, but still 32 bit, version of the ColdFire architecture that is oriented towards consumer  electronics and which, to support the lower pin count, uses a simpler debug interface. 

BDM Cables

P&E's parallel  Multilink provides will operate the Background Debug Mode (BDM) link on the ColdFire V1 core microprocessor. It acts as the hardware interface between a PCs port and a standard 6 pin background debug header on the target system.

The USB Multilink cable will support and automatically adjust to the higher clock frequencies and lower voltages of the ColdFire V1 family.  The USB Multilink cable has a high download speed. The USB Multilink will also work with the HC(S)12(X),HCS08 and RS08 microcontrollers.

Cyclone Pro Interface

This box will connect a PC via Ethernet, USB or Serial ports to an HC08, HCS08, HCRS08, HC12, HCS12,  HCS12X or ColdFire V1.  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.  Multiple Cyclones can be driven by a single PC for production environments and their memory can be extended to 128MBytes where very large programs or a lot of them need to be held.  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.
 

Packages

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