USB BDM Multilink for HCS08

[leesp]

Hi,

I would like to do debugging & flashing of code to MC9S08JM32.

I noted that there is a USD99 USB BDM Multilink from P&E Micro. My question is:

- Do I need to purchase other software in order to be able to do background debugging and flashing of code using the Multilink?

I already have CodeWarrior for Microcontroller.

Thanks..

Hello,

No. All the required software is included with Codewarrior.

Hi Peg,

Thanks for the answer.

Assuming I plugged in the USB Multilink now, what do I need to do with CodeWarrior? I mean how do I start the flashing operation? I search "flash commands" in the CodeWarrior Help but couldn't find how to quick start.

I am using CodeWarrior's True-Time Simulator & Real-Time Debugger with PEMicro USB BDM Multilink to flash code and debug.

On the True-Time Simulator's "Memory" window, what should I do so that I could see real time refresh of a memory variable? I mean in my code, as it runs, a variable keeps changing. But I have to right-click on the Memory window and do a "Refresh" in order to see how the variable changes.

Can't it refresh automatically?

On the memory and watch windows you can right click and set the mode to 'Periodic' and select the refresh rate.

I need advice on how to use the USB BDM Multilink for flashing code into microcontroller. I did it this way:

- In CodeWarrior IDE, do whatever code changes as necessary. Then 'Project -> Make' to compile the code

- Click the 'Debug' buttor to bring up the True-Time Simulator & Real-Time Debugger

- Make sure the Berg connector is already plugged in, and powered on

- In the PEMICRO Connection Manager, click 'Connect (Reset)'. The BDM Multilink should be connected to the microcontroller now

- Click 'No' on the 'Erase and Program Flash?' dialog box

- In the True-Time Simulator window, 'File -> Load Application..' and choose the *.abs file to load

- Click 'Yes' on the 'Erase and Program Flash?' dialog box

- The code should be flashed successfully into the microcontroller

- Click the 'Start/Continue (F5)' green icon to start running the code and debugging

Is this the right process?

Hello,

You should be able to leave out your steps 5 & 6 IIRC.

Hello,

I am not a user of Codewarrior, but I believe there is an option to "update on halt" or something like that.
