Using A USB Hub
The USB BDM MULTILINK is a USB device which is powered from the USB bus. It requires that if a USB hub is
used, it must be a self-powered hub. This means that it has a separate power supply, as opposed to deriving its
power from the PC. It must be able to supply 500mA per port.
Connecting To The Target
The following is the proper connection sequence to connect the PC to the target system via the USB BDM
MULTILINK interface:
Before disconnecting the setup, turn the target power off.
Product Registration
Please register your USB BDM Multilink at www.pemicro.com/register. This quick registration will ensure that you
receive the latest product information, including software updates, free utilities, and diagnostic tools for use with the
USB BDM Multilink.
Firmware Updates
The latest version of the firmware for the Multilink interface is included in P&E software development kits. When the
debugger or programmer is run, if it detects that the Multilink interface firmware is not the latest version it will
automatically update the firmware.
Alternately, the latest version of the firmware may be downloaded from the “Firmware Updates” section of the
“Support Center” located at http://www.pemicro.com.
Interface Libraries
P&E produces a set of processor-specific Interface Libraries which allows the user to directly control the USB BDM
MULTILINK from any Windows Development Environment which can interact with a DLL. The interface libraries
come with examples for controlling the Multilink interface from Microsoft Visual C as well as Borland Delphi.
Details of the libraries for the RS08, HCS08, HC(S)12, and ColdFire V1 may be found on our website,
