development board list

admin — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 03:57:56 GMT

Hello, I am not sure where the best place to post this question is, but does there exist an organized list of demo-boards made by Freescale or otherwise? I get lost easily on the Freescale website, and I have a hard time finding what I am looking for. I am experienced on the 9s12, but I would like to start playing with other controllers. I would like to find an 8 or 16 bit demo-board where the target is through-hole and removable, so I can use it on a separate bread board for example. So I guess I'm really looking for a programmer, maybe? I noticed there are some programmers like I describe with 32 pin targets, but I would like no more than 20 pins. Also I would like the target to have an internal oscillator. Do these exist? Thanks for your time. I am sorry in advance if this is the wrong board.

I think this fits my description.

DEMO9S08QG8 Product Summary Page

Could I take this S08QG out of the demo board and use it with internal clock on a separate bread board? Thanks.

DEMO9S08QG8 seems in fact to fit your description: its uCU may be extracted from the Demoboard and equip an external breadboard. 9S08QG8 is a cheap 3.3V 16pin low-end uCU.

Please consider that most Demoboards may also use their internal BDM port to program virgin or flashed uCU of the same series on external breadboard or PCB: this is quite the same than to use the uCU on the Demoboard, considered that the cost of this kind of device is 1 to 2$ for a new blank part.

I would chose DEMO9S08SH8 which can program either 9S08SH and -SQ part in the 20pin DIP inside or of any pinning size externally. This part is a 3.3-5V device and is more powerful and versatile than a 9S08QG8 and one of the few still available in the DIL size (20pin).
