Real-Time Debugging for 683xx, CPU32, CPU32+

There are a lot of CPU32 BDM solutions around at the moment but not many of them draw on the experience of a design team that has worked on in-circuit emulator designs since the early 1980s. So it hardly needs to be stated that there are consequently not many BDM solutions which are backed up by fully compatible in-circuit emulator solutions.

So when you are considering BDM tools, remember that if the going gets really tough, Noral have fully compatible, true ICE solutions to compliment the BDM hardware.

Flex-BDM/CPU32 supports all the features available from Motorola’s CPU32 & CPU32+ background debug mode interface, providing cost effective, dependable, real-time development solutions for all the 68300 family of processors.

Advanced BDM Features

Flex-BDM/CPU32 is different from the common BDM cable solutions because Flex-BDM/CPU32 includes custom logic and a control processor, enhancing the debugging capabilities beyond the basic BDM specification. For example, Flex-BDM/CPU32’s unique fast break hardware allows your program variables to be automatically updated in debugger windows during target execution. The fast break hardware also allows you to write data to your target without having to manually break execution.

The hardware's high speed bi-directional parallel communications interface produces very fast debugger response to changes within your target so you don’t waste time waiting for window updates.

Special electrical protection ensures that there are no target power up restrictions and that your PC is 100% protected from the target’s own electrical environment.

Target signals, such as Vcc, bus error and target reset, are monitored in real-time providing you with instant information about conditions within your 683xx embedded system.
