Hello, 

EVB MPC574XG-MB doesn't contain integrated debugger (like Open SDA) and you have to use external one - for example PE Micro . 

I'm not sure if you bought mother board (MPC574XG-MB) together with daughter board (MPC574XG-324DS). For debugging you need both boards.

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your answer. Yes I bought it with daughter board (MPC574XG-176DS) .

What about only flashing the MCU ? I do not need to debug for now Can I do that without external debugger ?

Thanks

Well - for flashing MCU you need some external debugger. It can't be done via USB. Anyway - if you connect USB - B (the the big squared one) port to your PC machine - you should see new COM port. This USB to COM converter can be used with MCU - but for this functionality you need to flash program into MCU by external debugger first.
