HC08 Welcome Kit Copyright (C)2000-2003 by MCT Elektronikladen GbR Hohe Str. 9-13 D-04107 Leipzig Telefon: +49-(0)341-2118354 Fax: +49-(0)341-2118355 Email: mct@elektronikladen.de Web: http://www.elektronikladen.de/mct This manual and the product described herein were designed carefully by the manufacturer. We have made every effort to avoid mistakes but we cannot guarantee that it is 100% free of errors.
User Manual 1. Overview The HC08 Welcome Kit provides you with a small microcontroller board that helps to evaluate the Motorola MC68HC908GP32. It is a cost-effective, off-the-shelf solution which provides a stable hardware platform for starting an HC08 application development.
100mm x 60mm (approx. 4" x 2.4") Package Contents w Evaluation Board with HC908GP32 w RS232 Cable (Sub-D9) w 9.8304 MHz canned oscillator w integrated High-Speed Flash Loader FL08 w User manual (this document), schematic diagram HC08 Welcome Kit V2.0...
1-2, BR3 is open, BR4 and BR5 are closed w Connect the Controller Module via RS232 to a PC. The connec- tion between the HC08 Welcome Kit (connector X3) and the PC is simply made using the included flat ribbon cable.

To restart the program (after reset) either type "G" or close the AUTO jumper (JP2). Note: the user program must start at address $8000 in this case. We hope you will enjoy working with the HC08 Welcome Kit!
User Manual 4. Jumpers and Solder Bridges To locate jumper positions, please refer to the parts location diagram (see above). Jumpers JP1: MON (Monitor Mode) open* User Mode (user program or FL08 Flash Loader) closed Monitor Mode (programming/debugging via MON08) JP2: AUTO (Autostart) open*...

HC08 Welcome Kit BR3: LCD Power Supply (SER1) open* VCC not available on RS232 port (standard Sub-D connector layout) closed VCC available on RS232 port (at Pin 9 of the Sub-D connector) BR4: open external Oscillator IC3 delivers clock (required for Monitor Mode)
HC08 Welcome Kit 6. Circuit Description Schematic Diagram The schematic diagram of the HC08 Welcome Kit is available as a separate document to ensure optimum visibility of all details. Controller Core and Input/Output The Microcontroller HC908GP32 needs only a few external components.
PLL mode, the "canned" oscillator IC3 must be removed and solder bridge BR4 must be closed. The HC08 Welcome Kit is shipped with the High-Speed Flash Loader FL08 residing in Flash memory. FL08 uses the PLL to generate a bus clock of 7.3728 MHz.

HC08 Welcome Kit pins must be connected to certain logic levels, as summarized in the following table: Port Level PTA0 PTA7 PTC0 PTC1 PTC3 Monitor Mode Levels on Ports A and C The monitor mode interface circuit on the evaluation board produces these levels using five pull up or pull down resistors.
HC08 Welcome Kit board represents the device side. The reverse case happens if a serial LC display is to be operated at the user RS232 port. In this configuration, the HC08 Welcome Kit board is the host and the LCD module represents the device side. The necessary RxD/TxD crossing can be done externally or by setting the solder bridges BR1/BR2 to position 2-3.
7. Application Hints In this section some details will be given on how to program the HC908GP32 in general and the HC08 Welcome Kit in particular. Please be aware that, even if this manual can provide some specific hints, it is impossible to cover all kinds of knowledge and techniques required to design a microcontroller program.
