EVBQE128 User's Manual
Additionally, when you plug the USB cable into the PC, a “virtual” COM port is automatically
created and, through this port, serial data can be transferred to/from the target microcontroller.
In other words, a terminal application such as HyperTerminal is able to use the virtual COM
port as if it were a normal COM port and send and receive characters normally.
This serial communication and BDM communication work simultaneously: CodeWarrior can be
used to work with the target microcontroller while HyperTerminal sends and receives
characters.
2.2.1 Hot Plug-In
The “Hot Plug-In” feature gives you the possibility to connect to a target microcontroller that is
running an application and to trace and debug the current running code without the need of a
complete erase and re-program of the flash memory.
