Active Probe Configuration - Motorola MCU M68MPB916R3 User Manual

2.4 ACTIVE PROBE CONFIGURATION

The M68MMDS1632 Motorola Modular Development System (MMDS) consists
of the station module and an active probe. The active probe consists of a three
board set, two cables, and a box:
• MPB – MCU-device-specific board that defines the MCU to be evaluated.
• Target Control Board (TCB) – the interface between the MPB, target
system, and the station module. The TCB is supplied with the MMDS. For
more information about the TCB refer to the M68MMDS1632 Motorola
Modular Development System User's Manual, MMDS1632UM/D.
• Package Personality Board (PPB) – the board that connects the active probe
to the target system. The PPB must be purchased separately. For more
information about the PPB refer to the appropriate user's manual.
• Active probe cables (2) – the interface between the active probe and the
station module. 01-RE90340W01 REV 0 and 01-RE90341W01 REV 0 are
printed on the active probe cables. The active probe cables come with the
MMDS. For more information about the active probe cables refer to the
M68MMDS1632 Motorola Modular Development System User's Manual,
MMDS1632UM/D.
• Active probe box – the protective enclosure for the TCB.
To configure an active probe:
1. Inspect all connectors for bent or damaged pins.
2. Rotate the MPB until the four MAPI bus connectors on its bottom mate
3. Rotate the PPB until the four MAPI bus connectors on its top mate with
M68MPB16R3UM/D
Turn off MMDS and target system power when installing or
removing MMDS components. Sudden power surges could
damage MMDS and target system integrated circuits.

way to connect the MPB and the TCB.) Firmly press the MPB and the
TCB together.
the MAPI bus connectors on the bottom of the TCB. (There is only one
