Hi,
I recently started learning microcontroller development. I had the change to obtain 2 S12 evaluation
boards. I succeeded in doing some 1st examples with CodeWarrior debugger. Though I have 2 starting
questions:
1) the book I am working with (M. Cady) is talking about a D-Bug12 monitor residing on S12. But it
looks like this SW isn't installed. Am I correct that for some eval boards I need to install it myself?
I guess chips for mass production won't have D-Bug12 installed neither?
2) what exactly does the abbreviation "POD" stand for? It seems to be a USB2BDM converter
between PC host and eval board.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi
1) yes.yes,
2) right
Those days when there was no USB2BDM, but only some quite expensive LPT2BDM, it probably wasn't too chip to have extra MCU on evaluation board to serve as BDM adapter. So there was D-Bug12. Today it doesn't make a lot of sense to bother with Dbug-12. DEMO boards like this one have USB2BDM on board
