Introduction

P&E's USB BDM MULTILINK Interface provides access to Background Debug Mode (BDM) on Freescale RS08,

HCS08, HC12, HCS12, and ColdFire® V1 microcontrollers. It is the hardware interface between a USB port on a

Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/7 machine and the standard 6-pin "Berg" debug connector on the target. By using

the USB BDM MULTILINK, the user can take advantage of Background Debug Mode to halt normal processor

execution and use a PC to control the processor. The user can then directly control the target's execution, read/

write registers and memory values, debug code on the processor, and program internal or external FLASH memory

devices.

Page 2 PC. The USB BDM MULTILINK is a USB device. If a USB Hub is used, it must be a self-powered hub (i.e. with its own power supply). By default, the USB protocol used is 2.0.
Page 3 Using A USB Hub The USB BDM MULTILINK is a USB device which is powered from the USB bus. It requires that if a USB hub is used, it must be a self-powered hub. This means that it has a separate power supply, as opposed to deriving its power from the PC.

Other Compatible Software In addition to support from Freescale Codewarrior and other third party software, the USB BDM Multilink is supported by a variety of software from P&E, including flash programmers, debuggers, and test application packages.
