3. Hardware Features
Introduction
PK-HCS08GB60 is an in-circuit debugger—it programs files into the MC9S08G60
microcontroller and offers debugging features like real-time code execution, stepping, and
breakpoints. Its debugging features are achieved thanks to the microcontroller’s integrated
Background Debug Module, BDM (also referred to as Background Debug Controller, BDC).
The BDM peripheral communicates with the host PC board (via the “USB to BDM Interface”
circuitry) through a dedicated, single-wire line (BKGD) of the microcontroller. The same line
is also used during device programming.
Contrariwise to traditional in-circuit emulation (where the target application is executed and
emulated inside the emulator), PK-HCS08GB60 uses the very same target microcontroller
to carry on in-circuit execution. This means that all microcontroller’s peripherals (timers, A/D
converters, I/O pins, etc.) are not reconstructed or simulated by an external device, but are
the very same target microcontroller’s peripherals. Moreover, the PK-HCS08GB60
debugging approach ensures that the target microcontroller’s electrical characteristics (pull-
ups, low-voltage operations, I/O thresholds, etc.) are 100% guaranteed.
