Chapter 1 General Information; Introduction - Motorola M68MPB16Y1 User Manual

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This manual provides general information, hardware preparation, installation
instructions, a quick start guide, and support information for the M68MPB16Y1
MCU Personality Board (MPB). The MPB is one component of Motorola's
modular approach to MC68HC16Y1 Microcontroller Unit-based product
development. This modular approach lets you easily configure our development
systems to fit your requirements.
The MPB may be used in either the MMDS1632 Motorola Modular Development
System (MMDS) or the modular evaluation board (MEVB). The MEVB consists
of the M68MPFB Modular Platform Board (MPFB) and an MPB. Alternately, you
may install the MPB directly in your target system if the target system includes a
modular active probe interconnect (MAPI) interface. The MCU device on the
MPB defines which MCU is emulated/evaluated by the MMDS or evaluated by
the MEVB. Both systems are invaluable tools for designing, debugging, and
evaluating MCU operation of the M68HC12, M68HC16, and M68300 MCU
families. By providing the essential MCU timing and I/O circuitry, these systems
simplify user evaluation of prototype hardware/software products.
The MPB includes:
• M68MPB16Y1 MCU Personality Board (MPB)
• Plastic overlay for use with the MEVB – pin outs for the logic analyzer
connectors on the MPFB (specifically for the MC68HC16Y1 MCU)
• Documentation (this manual)
