User manual for the FSICEBASE in-circuit emulator, covering hardware setup, CodeWarrior integration, MON08 debugging, and Bus State Analyzer configuration for HC08 microcontrollers.

View design document

Overview

This technical manual provides comprehensive instructions for the Freescale In-Circuit Emulator Base (FSICEBASE) system. It details the hardware setup and software configuration required for developing and debugging applications, primarily for the Freescale MC68HC08 microcontroller family. The document covers establishing communication via USB, Ethernet, and the MON08 debug port, as well as integrating with CodeWarrior Development Studio. Key technical sections include memory mapping, clock speed configuration, and the operation of the integrated Bus State Analyzer (BSA), which supports complex event triggering and multiple recording modes. Additionally, the manual includes a reference for S-Record formats and specific debugger scripting commands for the FSICEBASE environment.

Use Cases

  • Hardware setup and installation of the FSICEBASE development system.
  • Configuring Ethernet or USB-based communication between a host PC and the emulator.
  • Debugging embedded code using real-time emulation, breakpoints, and watchpoints.
  • Analyzing bus state and system events using the integrated Bus State Analyzer.
  • Programming and debugging target microcontrollers via the MON08 interface.
