Universal Multilink Rev D vs. Rev C

stephen_roskens — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 21:46:40 GMT

I have a Universal Multilink Rev D, purchased this last summer. Firmware has been updated to the latest 9.81. On the original firmware and current firmware I'm unable to flash a device using HIWAVE.exe, that comes with CodeWarrior.

"HI-WAVE - Communications with the target failed: The target MCU has no clock or wrong BDM clock speed is used or derivative is secured."

When I set the derivative to MC9S12G64, when I try and load the software

"Non Volatile Memory Control - Error while loading diagnostic algorithm to target system. The chip may be secured, or the derivative selected may be wrong."

I have a coworker that uses a Universal Multilink Rev C version (also has a small emblem that says freescale enabled) purchased at a different time. Using his model, I have no issues connecting and flashing devices. The only difference has been the actual device.

1. What is the difference between Rev D and Rev C?

2. Is it firmware related? (No - I won't flash the Rev C version because this is working and we would lose the only device that flashes our hardware at the moment.)

Hi Stephen,

Your RevD can't connect board, as suggestion, please try to use USB Multilink Universal (and FX) Resource CD to update the firmware, you need make sure the firmware is for HCS12 device.

MULTILINK | Debug Probe | PEmicro

You may also try install latest P&E driver: P&E Hardware Interface Drivers, Version 12 (Win XP/Vista/7/8/10)

Anyway, Multilink Universal is P&E company product. We don't know the difference between Rev C and D. I would suggest you contact P&E support for this product related questions. PEmicro | Experts in Embedded tools for Flash Programming and Development

Have a great day,
