1. No, there is no way to convert "ONCE" version of USBTAP to "COP" version, we do not support this.
2. The recommended way to upload firmware to MPC8260 board is to use "Flash Programmer", which is a part of our CodeWarrior IDE (software) .CodeWarrior software should be used with CodeWarrior debig probe("CodeWarrior TAP" or "CodeWarrior USB TAP"). "CodeWarrior TAP" debug probe supports different debug probe tips, in case of "CodeWarrior USB TAP" you have to order proper "COP" version of USB TAP.
Have a great day,
Alexander
