6. M-STATION SOFTWARE AND USB DRIVERS

6.1

Software Features

•
Flash programming of the MCU on the micro-board or in the target system
•
Communication between the computer and a user program running on the micro-board or target
system, through the M-Station serial port and terminal emulation software
•
Interactive debugging of the user program with a source-level debugger
6.2

Software Modules

•
USB driver that provides communication through a standard USB port on the computer at USB 2.0
speeds of 480 Mb/s or USB 1.1 speeds of 12 Mb/s.
•
OPTMST program that allows you to set the parameters necessary for MCU flash programming
•
FP4MST program that performs flash-programming operations on the MCU
•
MSTTERM program that provides a terminal-like interface to a user program running in the MCU
•
ID78K0-MON or ID78K0S-MON source-level debuggers for 78K0 and 78K0S MCUs, respectively,
that communicate through the M-Station to a small debugging monitor compiled into the user
program to allow
The M-Station USB driver must be installed first, following the procedure outlined in section 6.3. You
can then install the OPTMST, FP4MST, and MSTTERM programs from the M-Station CD-ROM.
⎯ Execution of the user program in real time
⎯ Debugging in single steps and with breakpoints
⎯ Pausing of the user program to allow examination of the contents of registers,
peripherals, and memory
