M5271EVB Introduction

This document details the setup and configuration of the ColdFire M5271EVB evaluation
board (hereafter referred to as the EVB). The EVB is intended to provide a mechanism for
easy customer evaluation of the MCF5270 and MCF5271 ColdFire microprocessors and to
facilitate hardware and software development. The EVB can be used by software and
hardware developers to test programs, tools, or circuits without having to develop a
complete microprocessor system themselves. All special features of the MCF5270 and
MCF5271 are supported.
The heart of the evaluation board is the MCF5271, the MCF5270 has a subset of the
MCF5271 specification and can therefore be fully emulated using the MCF5271 device.
Table 1-1., "M5270/71 Product Family". below details the two devices.
All of the devices in the same package are pin compatible.
The EVB provides for low cost software testing with the use of a ROM resident debug mon-
itor, dBUG, programmed into the external Flash device. Operation allows the user to load
code in the on-board RAM, execute applications, set breakpoints, and display or modify
registers or memory. No additional hardware or software is required for basic operation.
