Connecting to Coldfire target without downloading program

[kecart]

The 8-bit S08 parts have the capability of connecting to a running micro without stopping or resetting it (Hotsync).  Is this possible with a ColdFire V2 target?  If there is a way to "Hotsync" with a V2 ColdFire, where is it documented?

Hello,

yes, this is possible. It is named 'CodeWarrior Attach' in CodeWarrior for MCU10.x. See attached screenshot.

Althoug on ColdFire V2 it will stop the target on attach. But it will not download or initialize it.

"CodeWarrior Attach": you have a project and the sources for the application you want to do a hotsync. That allows you source level debugging

"CodeWarrior Connect": here you do not have the sources/project/binaries on the host: means you do a hotsync and then you can debug it with what you have.

Hope this helps.
