Using CodeTEST Probe with NXP MCF5272 ColdFire Processor Application Note
Hardware connection and configuration guide for using CodeTEST Probes with the NXP MCF5272 processor via the external bus interface.
Overview
This application note provides technical requirements for connecting a CodeTEST Probe to the external bus interface of the NXP MCF5272 processor. It details hardware wiring for both dedicated and non-dedicated chip select configurations, mapping signals for address, data, and control lines. The document includes specific configuration settings for the Probe Config Utility within CodeTEST Manager, covering parameters such as port address masks, strobe polarity, bus arbitration, and frequency ranges. It also outlines critical system limitations, including requirements for non-burst memory regions, non-cached memory locations, and clock cycle constraints for high-frequency processors.
Use Cases
- Interfacing hardware-assisted debugging tools with ColdFire processors
- Configuring external bus signals for real-time software analysis
- Setting up CodeTEST Manager for MCF5272 target hardware
- Troubleshooting physical connections between probes and microprocessor buses
