Creating a subset of the Softec SK-S12XDP512-A Starter kit

[jcdammeyer]

Hi,

I need to build a subset of the Softec starter kit in a much smaller form factor.  It needs the 9S12, the 5 CAN ports, a Serial port, 8 diagnostic LEDs and the C and D ports will be connected to an FTDI-USB245 which I currently have prototyped on the starter kit.

Really a small project but it's the 5 CAN ports that are the important part.

The other thing I'd like is the M9S12UF32 with onboard USB to BDM debugger.  Where do I find that?

 If the UF32 isn't available what is available for a simple debugger/programmer to leave permanently connected to the USB.  I've heard rumours about many of the BDM programmers sporadically reseting the processor if they are left connected.

Thanks

John

Dear jcdammeyer,

 I believe the BDM interface on the board is a proprietry Softec design and you would have to approach them about the possible use of it.

There are a number of open-source BDM interfaces - see the TBDML & OSBDM discussion boards for alternatives.

You would have to vet them for suitability as they would not have been designed for permanent connection.
