SofTec Introduces inDART-HCS08/RG60 Design Kit for Motorola MC9S08RG

6/18/2004 - Belonging to the inDART-HCS08 series of in-circuit debuggers/programmers, the new inDART-HCS08/RG60 Design Kit provides users with everything they need to quickstart their HCS08 projects. The kit includes an in-circuit debugger/programmer and a full-featured evaluation board specific for the MC9S08RG60 microcontroller. The Design Kit is available for ordering with an end-user price of $299.

inDART-HCS08 takes advantage of Metrowerks CodeWarrior HC(S)08 Integrated Development Environment and the BDC (Background Debug Controller) feature to debug the user program. Together with CodeWarrior HC(S)08, inDART-HCS08 provides you with everything you need to compile, download (program), in-circuit emulate and debug user code. Full speed program execution allows you to perform hardware and software testing in real time. inDART-HCS08 is connected to the host PC through a USB port, while the 6-pin BDM connector of the product fits into the target's standard BDM connector. Design Kit packages also include a full-featured experiment board for a specific HCS08 microcontroller.

inDART-HCS08 offers you the following benefits:

  • Real-time code execution without probes--works with all packages (BDM-compatible connector)
  • In-circuit debugging
  • Built-in FLASH programmer (DataBlaze programming utility)
  • 1.8 to 5.5 V devices supported
  • Standard chip used--no bondouts, 100% electrical characteristics guaranteed
  • Working frequency up to the microcontroller's maximum
  • Jumperless hardware mode setting
  • Automatic target frequency detection
  • Hardware self diagnostic test
  • USB connection to the PC
  • Metrowerks CodeWarrior IDE (the same user interface of all Motorola tools), with editor, assembler, C compiler and debugger

The MC9S08RG60 evaluation board included in the inDART-HCS08/RG60 Design Kit features a BDM connector, push-buttons, a potentiometer, user LEDs, a serial interface and a prototyping area.
