Active Probe Configuration - Motorola M68MPB16Z3 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.
• Enhanced Target Control Board (TCBe) – the interface between the MPB,
target system, and the station module. The TCBe must be purchased
separately. For more information about the TCBe refer to the MMDS1632
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 PPB configuration
guide.
• 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
TCBe. For more information about the active probe cables refer to the
MMDS1632 Motorola Modular Development System User's Manual,
MMDS1632UM/D.
• Active probe box – the protective enclosure for the TCBe.
To configure an active probe (refer to Figure 2-3):
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
M68MPB16Z3UM/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 TCBe.) Firmly press the MPB and the
TCBe together.
the MAPI bus connectors on the bottom of the TCBe. (There is only one
