Product Info

This low-cost BDM pod resembles a USB memory stick in size and shape, and is USB 2.0-compliant. It is based on the open-source USBDM project featured in the Freescale Community Projects Forum, and supports S08, S12(X), and ColdeFire V1 core targets, via a standard 6-pin BDM cable. It is fully compatible with CodeWarrior and NoICE, once you have installed the relevant DLLs. Power is derived from the host USB port, which can also power the target board at a jumper-selectable 3V or 5V, if desired.

Features:

• works with all S08, S12(X), and CF V1 target boards
• no power supply required-- draws power from USB port
• power for target board can come from USB or your own supply
• selectable power for target: 3.3V, 5V, or none
• USB interface to Windows PC
