[RAND-1-100] Comments



In 2004, Dr, Frank Wornle, a professor at the University of Adelaide in Australia wrote a great tutorial article for using Freescale serial monitor on our original Dragon12 board. On the first part of the article he clearly explained the procedures of using one Dragon12 board as a BDM POD to program the flash memory on another Dragon12 board. Aug 28, 2019 Download USBDM for free. Debugging and programming interfaces for Freescale microcontroller. USBDM BDM Interface for Freescale Microcontrollers USBDM consists of two components: Hardware interfaces for various target devices This includes interfaces ranging from very simple hardware to more complete and capable hardware. Software to support these interfaces This includes: Plugins to work with.

For implementing on-line programming of Freescale HCS12 series MCU, designing a common downloading programmer which functions include chip selection, erase and write operations. Designing a database where Freescale HCS12 MCU Flash difference parameter values placed, so achieving HCS12 MCU family online programming versatility. Erase and write machine codes are provided in the RAM. Initial on-chip FLASH programming requires either special test and handling equipment to program the device before it is placed in the target system or a background debug module (BDM) programming tool available from Freescale or a third party vendor. Programming application 1: Replacing D-Bug12 monitor with serial monitor using HCS12FlashProgrammer: PGO has provided a cool utility program to turn our USBDM-1 into a standalone programmer without invoking the CodeWarrior. Warning: To use this feature, your USBDM must be installed successfully. It should be recognized by the Device Manger.

USBDM is a debugger hardware interface for a range of Freescale microcontrollers. It is designed to work with Freescale's Codewarrior software under Windows and Linux. More recently basic support for Coldfire and Kinetis with the Codesourcery Tool chain or ARM Ltd GNU Tools for ARM has been added. A set of stand-alone programmers are also provided.

The attached files provide a port of a combined TBDML/OSBDM/TBLCF code to various processors. The primary motivation for doing this was to produce a single BDM that could be used with the following processors:

  • RS08
  • HCS08,
  • HC12,
  • Coldfire V1-4 microcontrollers
  • MC56F800xx Digital Signal Controllers (very limited range of devices).
  • Kinetis ARM-cortex

Other features have also been added compared to the original TBDML/OSBDM designs.

This site contains links to Version 4 of the following:

  • A set of software drivers for MS windows and Linux that work with various version of the Freescale Codewarrior IDE, including the latest Eclipse version.
  • Standard-alone programmers.
  • A description of, and design files for, several versions of suitable BDM hardware
  • How to adapt Freescale FRDM-xxx boards for use as programmers
  • The firmware required for the above BDM hardware.

Quick Links

JS16 based versions (Current designs)

The following two designs & variations use the MC9S08JS16CWJ (20 pin SOIC).
This chip is USB2 Full speed and supports initial programming over USB without needing a BDM.

Minimal design - Supports HCS12, HCS08 and Coldfire V1Minimal design - Supports HCS12, HCS08, Coldfire V1 and Kinetis (via SWD)

  • These are two alternative designs using a MC9S08JS16CWJ (20 pin SOIC).
  • It is easier to construct than the JMxx version
  • It may be programmed over the USB connection and doesn't require a BDM for initial programming.
  • It replaces the Minimal JB16 designs and is recommended (by me) for newbies!
  • A PCB design is supplied but is should be possible to roll-your-own on a prototyping board.
  • An alternative, larger design is provided that supports Serial over USB (CDC interface) and Kinetis via SWD.

Minimal design - Supports Coldfire V2,3,4, Kinetis(via JTAG) and DSC (M56F80xx only)

  • This is a minimal design using a MC9S08JS16CWJ (20 pin SOIC).
  • It is easier to construct than the JMxx version
  • It may be programmed over the USB connection and doesn't require a BDM for initial programming.
  • It is approximately equivalent to the earlier JB16 based TBLCF design in functionality.
  • A PCB design is supplied but is should be possible to roll-your-own on a prototyping board.
  • An alternative, larger design is provided that supports Serial over USB (CDC interface).

JMxx based versions (Current designs)

The following designs use the MC9S08JM60CLD (44 pin LQFP).
This chip is USB2 Full speed and requires a HCS08 BDM for programming the device.

USBDM-CF - Supports HCS12, HCS08, RS08 & Coldfire V1, V2, V3 & V4, Kinetis(via JTAG) and MC56F80xx

  • This is a complete fully-featured design using a MC9S08JM60CLD (44 pin LQFP).
  • It has target power and various other options.
  • It REQUIRES a BDM for initial programming.
  • Later firmware updates may be done over the USB
    USBDM-TWR-xxxx - Supports various Freescale Tower systems
  • This supports the OSBDM-JM60 hardware as used in various Freescale Tower systems.
  • Allows use of the stand-alone USBDM programmers with Tower boards.
  • Significant speed improvement over OSBDM with some targets.
  • Serial port support uses the standard USB CDC interface and so serial ports appear as the usual COM devices under Windows and Linux.
    This means they may be used with standard serial programs such as Hyperterminal and within a Terminal window in Codewarrior Eclipse.

MK20DX128 based versions (Current designs)

The following design use the MK20DX128 present on various Freescale FREEDOM boards (Arduino form factor).
This chip is USB2 Full speed and the chips on the Freedom boards include a pre-rogrammer bootloader (OpenSDA) that allows installation of USBDM without a programmer.

USBDM_OpenSDA - Supports various Freescale Freedom boards

  • This supports the OpenSDA hardware as used in various Freescale Freedom systems.
  • Allows use of the stand-alone USBDM programmers with FRDM boards.
  • The Freedom board may be used to Open source tool chains such as Codesourcery or ARM Ltd GNU tools.
  • The Freedom board may be used as a programmer for external devices (with the addition of a cable and header).
  • Serial port support uses the standard USB CDC interface and so serial ports appear as the usual COM devices under Windows and Linux.
    This means they may be used with standard serial programs such as Hyperterminal and within a Terminal window in Codewarrior Eclipse or Eclipse Juno (with suitable plugin).

JB16 based versions - These design are obsolete

Please note that these designs are obsolete.
The JB16 chip used in these designs have a ROM firmware flaw which makes it impossible to reprogram the chip firmware. When the chip is in bootloader mode it fails to enumerate properly under Windows 7 or 8 and later updates of WIN-XP. Because of this it is not possible to update the firmware which make it impractical to support them.
The USBDM software may still work to some extent but I cannot make any guarantees.
 These versions were mainly produced to be compatible with the previous hardware versions of TBDML or OSBDM which were based on the MC908JB16. This is a USB low speed device. The provided firmware versions allow (some) of these devices to be updated to a combined TBDML/OSBDM. It also allows these to be used with the new Eclipse-based Codewarror which does not support the original osbdm or tbdml.

There are several hardware designs supplied :

  • Complete USBDM - Supports HCS12, HCS08, RS08 & Coldfire V1
    • This is a complete fully-featured design using MC68HC908JB16DW (28 pin SOIC)
  • Minimal TBDML 20pin SOIC - Supports HCS12, HCS08, Coldfire V1
    • This is a very minimal design using MC68HC908JB16DW (28 pin SOIC)
  • Minimal TBDML 28pin SOIC - Supports HCS12, HCS08, Coldfire V1
    • This is a very minimal design using MC908JB16JDWE (20 pin SOIC)

BDM firmware versions are also supplied to support several existing hardware designs by other people:

  • WTBDM08/12
    • A commercial design available from Witztronics.
  • OSBDM
    • A previous design posted on Freescale OSBDM board
  • HCS08-OSBDM+E
    • A previous design posted on Freescale OSBDM board

Notes

  • Please note that these design are different from the Freescale OSBDM-JM60 design which was proceeding independently while I was doing the above designs.

The bulk of the code is taken from the TBDML, OSBDM and TBLCF projects and I very much appreciate the effort involved in producing the original code. I hope this extension will be useful.

The hardware interface is based on TBDML, Freescale USBSPYDER08 and my own invention.
